This study was carried out to evaluate the antibacterial activity of aqueous and organic extracts of Thymus capitatus L. (Lamiaceae) leaves and stems. Dried ground powder leaves and stems were extracted with water (aqueous extracts), ethanol, dichloromethane and hexane (Soxhlet extracts). The antibacterial activity of these extracts was evaluated against bacteria using disc diffusion method. Th...

In the near future low earth orbit (LEO) satellite communication networks will partially substitute for fixed terrestrial multimedia networks especially in sparsely populated areas. Unlike fixed terrestrial networks, ongoing calls may be dropped if satellite channels are shadowed. Therefore, in most LEO satellite communication networks more than one satellite need to be simultaneously visible i...

A sparse nucleation process on sapphire ~0001! substrates has been developed for the growth of GaN thin films. The density of nucleation sites is reduced to only 4310 cm. Based on this process, we performed direct lateral epitaxial overgrowth ~LEO! of GaN by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on patterned SiO2/sapphire ~0001! substrates. An aggregate lateral to vertical growth rate ratio of...

We present a wide-field (4.5 deg2) photometric and spectroscopic survey of the Leo I dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy to explore its extended morphology and dynamics. As in previous papers in this series, we take advantage of photometry in the M, T2, and DDO51 filter system to select Leo I red giant branch star candidates, and, so far, this selection technique has proven 100% reliable in selectin...

With the rise of a new generation low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations and advancement 6G network, satellite–terrestrial integrated Internet Things (IoT) in future will achieve global coverage through integration LEO constellation, extend computing to edge network deployment services constellation so as meet demand mass connection latency data processing. The be an cloud combining com...

Castro et al. (1996) have concluded that μ Leo has three times the solar metallicity. That conclusion is based on their own work and on rezeroed values of [Fe/H] from the literature. A review of their paper reveals that there are significant omissions from their list of literature results. In addition, their procedure for establishing zero points for values of [Fe/H] is found to be fallacious. ...

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are an essential complement of the cellular radio infrastructure, especially the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), for mobile (pedestrian and, more important, vehicular) access to the Internet in sparsely populated areas, where high bandwidth UMTS cells cannot be economically deployed. LEO users would eventually switch between the satellite segm...

Notwithstanding the limited commercial success of the first narrowband Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite systems, the interest of the scientific community in this type of systems has been revived on the basis of the current trend toward the migration to all IP-based services. LEO systems can play a pivotal role in providing services to areas where there is no substantial terrestrial infrastructur...
