Modulating Retroreflector Based Free Space Optical Link for UAV-to-Ground Communications
( IEEE , 2022 , Article)Weight reduction and low power consumption are key requirements in the next generation of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) networks. Employing modulating retro-reflector (MRR)-based free space optical (FSO) technology is an ... -
Modulation of Neuro-Inflammatory Signals in Microglia by Plasma Prekallikrein and Neuronal Cell Debris
( Frontiers Media , 2021 , Article)Microglia, the resident phagocytes of the central nervous system and one of the key modulators of the innate immune system, have been shown to play a major role in brain insults. Upon activation in response to neuroinflammation, ... -
Modulation of Plant Defense System in Response to Microbial Interactions
( Frontiers Media , 2020 , Article)© Copyright © 2020 Nishad, Ahmed, Rahman and Kareem. At different stages throughout their life cycle, plants often encounter several pathogenic microbes that challenge plant growth and development. The sophisticated innate ... -
Modulation of preeclampsia by the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway: Therapeutic perspectives
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article Review)The cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAP) is vital for the orchestration of the immune and inflammatory responses under normal and challenged conditions. Over the past two decades, peripheral and central circuits of ... -
Modulation of proteomic and inflammatory signals by Bradykinin in podocytes
( Elsevier B.V. , 2020 , Article)Podocyte damage is one of the hallmarks of diabetic nephropathy leading to proteinuria and kidney damage. The underlying mechanisms of podocyte injury are not well defined. Bradykinin (BK) was shown to contribute to diabetic ... -
Modulation with metaheuristic approach for cascaded-MPUC49 asymmetrical inverter with boosted output
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2020 , Article)This work introduces a 49-level Asymmetrical Inverter (AMLI) with boosted output based on the cascaded operation of two 7-Level Modified Packed U-Cell inverters (MPUC-7). The converter is capable of operation with a boosted ... -
Modulation-independent non-data-aided SNR estimator for OFDM signals in nakagami fading channels
(2013 , Conference Paper)A signal-to-noise ratio estimator for OFDM signals in Nakagami-m fading channels is proposed. This estimator can be used with any signal constellation. It is an envelope-based non-data-aided estimator that makes use of ... -
Modulatory Effect of Intermittent Fasting on Adipose Tissue Inflammation: Amelioration of Cardiovascular Dysfunction in Early Metabolic Impairment
( Frontiers , 2021 , Article)Cardiometabolic syndrome (CMS) is a cluster of maladaptive cardiovascular, renal, thrombotic, inflammatory, and metabolic disorders. It confers a high risk of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. CMS is triggered by ... -
Moisture and temperature dependence of the dielectric properties of pharmaceutical powders
(2013 , Article)The dielectric properties of pharmaceutical powder–(paracetamol, aspirin, lactose, maize starch, adipic acid) solvent (water) mixtures were measured at 2,450 MHz at a range of moisture contents (0–1.0 kg kg−1, dry basis) ... -
Molecular analysis of inflammatory diseases.
( Wiley , 2022 , Article Review)If we try to describe the search for molecular actors involved in inflammatory diseases, the picture best representing this task is a mission to unexplored worlds. However, researchers nowadays have powerful tools to support ... -
Molecular analysis of the enteric protozoa associated with acute diarrhea in hospitalized children
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2017 , Article)Pediatric diarrhea is a common cause of death among children under 5 years of age. In the current study, we investigated the frequency of intestinal parasites among 580 pediatric patients with chronic diarrhea. Parasitic ... -
Molecular and biological characterization of influenza A viruses isolated from human fecal samples
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Human influenza viruses are occasionally detected in the stools of influenza patients. Objectives: Here, we investigated the molecular and biological characteristics of intestinal influenza viruses and their potential role ... -
