Respiration and Heart Movement Monitoring Using AM Continuous-Wave Radar
No full textAbstractA wireless and contactless device senses chest move-ments and measures the respiration and heart rates. A signal is sent toward the body, which will cause a reflected signal. This signal is recorded via the receiver antenna and the information is extracted from its amplitude and phase.Safwan H. Ibrahim, Abdullah A. Zayat, Ali H. Muqaibel, Tarig Ballal and Tareq Y.

The system seems to have a harmonics problem coming from chest movement and multipath reflections. In future, the work will be focused on canceling the harmonics and monitoring multi-targetsFig.2: A comparison between the system results and the ground-truth (Oximeter)———Maximum AccuracyMinimum AccuracyHeart Rate98.6%95.3%Breathing Rate100%97.2Table.1: Maximum and Minimum Accuracy of the system compared to the OximeterFig.3: User Interface of the system (LabVIEW)Fig.1: The system diagram and the mathematical equation

Inhibition of the Germination of Root Parasitic Plants by Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8
No full textCrystalline ZIF-8 (C-ZIF-8) and amorphous ZIF-8 (Am-ZIF-8) were prepared and investigated to control the germination of Striga hermonthica, a root parasitic plant, which threatens cereal crops production particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. We have demonstrated that Am-ZIF-8 shows a better performance than C-ZIF-8 in inhibiting Striga seed germination. This efficient performance of Am-ZIF-8 materials can be attributed to the incomplete deprotonation of 2 methylimidazole (2MIM) during amorphization, leading to the presence of unsaturated Zn-N coordination with the uncoordinated -NH groups available to undergo hydrogen bonding with the strigolactone analog GR24 forming a more stable Am-ZIF-8···GR24 hydrogen bonded network. We further established that application of ZIF-8 materials generally has no adverse effects on the growth and quality of rice crops.We thank King Abdullah University of Science and Technology(KAUST) and King Abdul Aziz City for Science and Technology(KACST) for supporting this wor
Immunological Differences in Women Compared with Men: Overview and Contributing Factors
No full textCitation: Ghazeeri G, Abdullah L, Abbas O. Immunological differences in women compared with men: overview and contributing factors. Am J Reprod Immunol 2011 Gender differences in the innate and adaptive immune systems have long been observed in humans. These immunological differences in immune function manifest as diverse susceptibilities to different types of infections and varied risks of developing autoimmune disorders and maybe even, cancers. Several factors contribute to the development of this immunological dimorphism including sex hormones, genetic makeup, environmental causes, and more recently microchimerism. Although the aim behind this sexual immune dimorphism is still unclear, it is tempting to believe that the higher risk of developing autoimmune diseases in women somehow serves the higher evolutionary goal of reproduction and creating new life. © 2011 John Wiley and Sons A-S
I Think I Am Philip K. Dick
No full textFor years, noted writer Laurence A. Rickels often found himself compared to novelist Philip K. Dickthough in fact Rickels had never read any of the science fiction writers work. When he finally read his first Philip K. Dick novel, while researching for his recent book The Devil Notebooks , it prompted a prolonged immersion in Dicks writing as well as a recognition of Rickelss own long-documented intellectual pursuits. The result of this engagement is I Think I Am: Philip K. Dick , a profound thought experiment that charts the wide relevance of the pulp sci-fi author and paranoid visionary. I Think I Am: Philip K. Dick explores the science fiction authors meditations on psychic reality and psychosis, Christian mysticism, Eastern religion, and modern spiritualism. Covering all of Dicks science fiction, Rickels corrects the lack of scholarly interest in the legendary Californian author and, ultimately, makes a compelling case for the philosophical and psychoanalytic significance of Philip K. Dicks popular and influential science fiction.Intro -- Contents -- Introjection -- Part I -- Endopsychic Allegories -- Schreber Guardian -- Belief System Surveillance -- Part II -- Deeper Problems -- Veil of Tears -- Go West -- Dick Manfred -- Timing -- Glimmung -- Part III -- Spiritualism Analogy -- Imitating the Dead -- Indexical Layer -- Ilse -- Hammers and Things -- Crucifictions -- Over There -- Martyrology -- Can't Live, Can't Live -- Lola -- Umwelt, Mitwelt, and Eigenwelt -- Outer Race -- The German Introject -- Part IV -- Materialism, Idealism, and Cybernetics -- Startling Stories -- A Couple of Years -- Android Empathy -- Homunculus and Robot -- ALL OF YOU ARE DEAD.

Qademah Fault Artificial Ambient Noise Test
No full textThis data set was collected on 7 Dec. 2014 by Sherif and Abdullah. The receiver layout is the same as that of the passive data test at the same location, which is described as follow:
288 receivers are used and arranged as follow
- 12 lines, cross-line offset = 10 m
- 24 receiver in each line, inline offset = 5 m
- Additional 24 receivers are placed at line # 6, where the receiver interval is decreased to 2.5 m.
Data Recording:
We start recording at 10:10 am and stop recording at 11:25 am.
Each record has total of 20 s, with time interval of 0.004 ms and around 2 s overlap between each two successive files.
Source:
We used a piece of wood attached to a pick-up truck to create the noise; we drove around the array of receivers in a rectangle-shape route during the recording time
