Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) which involves alteration of the female genitalia for non-medical grounds is prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa, associated with long-term genitourinary complications, and possible HIV transmission. This mini-review aims to examine FGM and the possibility of HIV transmission through this procedure. We performed an electronic search using Medline for articles publish...

This paper presents the development of adaptive distance relay for protection of parallel transmission line with mutual coupling. The proposed adaptive relay, automatically adjusts its operation based on the acquisition of the data from distance relay of adjacent line and status of adjacent line from line circuit breaker IED (Intelligent Electronic Device). The zero sequence current of the adja...

W hat many computing professionals call knowledge engineering is better known in industry as infrastructure technologies that enable enterprise business intelligence applications such as customer-relationship management, electronic commerce, business analytics, and information personalization. Broadly, knowledge engineering includes value-added data storage, data transmission across a network, ...

The transmission of electronic product catalogs using e-business standards belongs to the first and most common applications of XML in B2B e-commerce. Suppliers create electronic catalogs in standardized formats and transfer them to their customers. Eventually the receiving enterprises import the data into e-market places and e-procurement systems. In both cases a transformation of relational d...

The proposed initiative is a multi-disciplinary effort involving the colleges of engineering and basic sciences. It has a dual long term goal: (a) to develop and implement telemetry suited for challenging environments capable of high throughput, and (b) to develop data analysis and visualization tools on parallel architectures capable of efficiently interfacing with experiments and processing m...

To address and facilitate the growth of activities in the area of eand m-commerce, United Nations produced a document called the UNCITRAL Model Law. Article 13 of the Model Law describes the concept of ‘attribution of data messages’, a principal component in ensuring authenticity and reliability of an electronic message. The purpose behind such prescription is to ensure harmony among trading pa...

Two multi-Gbit/s wireless communication experiments based on Schottky technology in sub-terahertz frequency range are presented. 120GHz on-off keying (OOK) transmission is achieved within lab distance with data rate up to 12.5Gbit/s. This proof-of-concept demonstration shows the capacity and potential of terahertz communication. 220GHz data transmission is further achieved in outdoor environmen...
