Non-invasive range and bearing estimation of buried objects, in the underwater acoustic environment, has received considerable attention (Granara et al., 1998). Many studies have been recently developed. Some of them use acoustic scattering to localize objects by analyzing acoustic resonance in the time-frequency domain, but these processes are usually limited to simple shaped objects (Nicq & B...

  Corona disease has killed at least 5 million people globally since it started in Wuhan, China in December 2019 (World Health Organization, 2021). The disease is caused by SARS-COVID-19, and is transmitted from person to person by respiratory droplets (Baladia et al., 2020, Ejaz et al., 2020). Although the early symptoms of COVID-19  include fever, weariness, headache, sore throat, cough, d...

The genetic integrity of every organism depends on the faithful partitioning of its genome between two daughter cells in mitosis. In all eukaryotes, chromosome segregation requires the assembly of the mitotic spindle, a bipolar array of dynamic microtubules. Perturbations in microtubule dynamics affect spindle assembly and maintenance and ultimately result in aberrant cell divisions. To identif...

Regarding our article on the association of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with increased Alzheimer’s disease risk, Bowen et al, Froehner and Wirth, Leow et al, and Brady et al highlight a number of significant considerations that will prove important in the design of future studies that investigate the association of ADT and Alzheimer’s disease. We agree with Bowen et al and Leow et al tha...

Obesity is a serious and growing public health problem throughout much of the world. In fact, obesity has reached epidemic proportions in many developed countries. Increased food intake and decreased energy expenditure due to the sedentary lifestyle of our developed societies have contributed to the widespread development of obesity. However, these environmental factors cannot totally explain t...

1. introduction current statistical methods may be unable to accurately predict recurrence intervals of rare, large magnitude floods. the usual procedure involves extrapolation from gauged hydrological records documenting 30–40 year records of observed (normally small) floods to the estimation of the quantifies and recurrence intervals of very large, rare floods. this conventional approaches be...

This letter is regarding the article by Daoudi et al. entitled "Study of bacterial contamination of mobile phones and stethoscopes in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit" published in International Journal of Pediatrics DOI: 10.22038/IJP.2017.25504.2170 (1). The authors have evaluated the microbial contamination of mobile phones and stethoscopes used by medical and paramedical staff. They reported tha...
