− The particulate contamination of intravenously administered fluid has been of major concern. One of the most common complications associated with long term i.v. therapy is post-infusion phlebitis (PIP). We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis of the effect of inline filters on PIP. An electronic search of Medline, KoreaMed, and KRIST was conducted to identify randomized controlled ...

In this letter, a compact circularly polarized (CP) multimode antenna for global navigation satellite system reflectometry (GNSS-R) is presented. The design comprises two quadrifilar helical antennas (QHAs), each fed with ground coplanar waveguide (GCPW) and quarter wavelength power divider (QWPD) integrated feed. A hybrid staircase-shaped (SSR) QHA radial proposed, it formed by serially...

The association of characteristics of anthropometry, training, and previous experience with race time in 84 recreational, long-distance, inline skaters at the longest inline marathon in Europe (111 km), the Inline One-eleven in Switzerland, was investigated to identify predictor variables for performance. Age, duration per training unit, and personal best time were the only three variables rela...

This letter presents a wide-angle scanning multibeam planar inverted-E antenna (PIEA) array for vehicle-to-everything communication. The compact four-element PIEA is designed with 0.3&#x03BB;o spacing, which achieves 90$^{\circ}$ when 135<tex-math phase shift applied obtained using 4 &#x00D7; Butle...

Eliminating duplicate data in primary storage of clouds increases the cost-efficiency of cloud service providers as well as reduces the cost of users for using cloud services. Most existing primary deduplication techniques either use inline caching to exploit locality in primary workloads or use postprocessing deduplication running in system idle time to avoid the negative impact on I/O perform...

This paper presents the results of a new monopole antenna that exhibits 2.75-10.7 GHz performance. The proposed antenna consists of a radiating patch with notches excited by capacitive coupling feed. Also, the antenna’s truncated ground-plane incorporates a central notch. This modification significantly improves the antenna’s impedance bandwidth by 118% over an ultra-wideband frequency range. T...

Multi-antenna cache-aided wireless networks were thought to suffer from a severe feedback bottleneck, since achieving the maximal Degrees-of-Freedom (DoF) performance required all served users for known transmission schemes. These costs match caching gains and thus scale with number of users. In context <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.or...
