Tobacco smoking and the fight against tobacco addiction: a look at Iran and the other countries of the Persian Gulf region

Design and Analysis of Ultra-wide Band Bandpass Filter Using Spiral Stub-Loaded Triple-Mode Resonator with a Notched Band

An ultra-wide band band-pass filter using novel spiral stub-loaded triple-mode resonator (SSLTMR) is presented. New spiral stub loaded resonator is analyzed with odd and even modes analysis for this class of BPF, achieving higher band wide and size reduction. In order to have a good response characterized, two (SSL-TMRs) and two quarter wavelength digital coupled lines are used. This new design...

Review on the Implementation of the Islamic Republic of Iran about Tobacco Control, Based on MPOWER, in the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control by the World Health Organization

Background: Smoking is the largest preventable cause of death in the world, killing nearly 6 million people annually. This article is an investigation of measures implemented laws in the Iran to study the proposed strategy of control and reduce tobacco use based on the monitor, protect, offer, warn, enforce and raise (MPOWER) policy.Methods: All laws approved by the Parliament along with the in...

Design, Simulation and implementation of active dual-band dipole antenna using a series stub

In this paper, a new method for designing an active dual-band dipole antenna is proposed. The operating frequencies of the proposed antenna are 150 and 450 MHz that are usually used in military applications. Using a series stub is the main idea in the proposed dual-band antenna, where it makes an independent resonance frequency higher than the main resonance frequency of a conventional dipole. ...

Taxing e‐cigarettes would be a mistake in the fight against smoking

cigs as a nico ne prod‐ uct that should be taxed for reasons of symmetry: if tobacco is heavily taxed, then other nico ne‐delivering items should be taxed like‐ wise. Poli cians of eve‐ ry stripe clearly wish to avoid being seen as en‐ couraging nico ne con‐ sump on. However, according to many spe‐ cialists, the poten al benefits of e‐cigs in the fight against smoking may be quite significant. ...
