Gold-compensated high resistivity silicon as low-loss microwave substrate
No full textDeep level doping compensation concept using elemental gold is utilised to create effectively high resistivity silicon substrates for the use in GHz range. Bias-dependent substrate losses associated with parasitic surface conduction is fully suppressed, indicated by the constant attenuation loss of 0.19 dB/mm at 40 GHz for the coplanar waveguides fabricated on the substrates. In addition to that, the incorporation of slow-cooling treatment in the annealing procedure proves that further increase in substrate resistivity can be achieved for Czochralski-grown silicon substrates, rising up its potential as one of the alternative substrates for radio-frequency monolithic microwave integrated circuits applications.</p

Professor Sa’adiya Omar, the most celebrated author of women in the Sokoto Caliphate of Northern Nigeria. Professor Sa’adiya currently occupies the position of Nana Asma’u and Modibbo Kilo, the leaders of the Yantaru movement, i.e. Uwartaru (the Mother of the Yantaru). Equally, she had served as the National Amirah (President) of the largest Muslim umbrella organization in Nigeria – Federation of Muslim Women’s Associations in Nigeria (FOMWAN). As at the present, she serves in many capacities and is a member of various Islamic committees in Sokoto state and in Nigeria in general
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Profile of mirabegron in the treatment of overactive bladder: place in therapy
No full textAla’a Sharaf, Hashim Hashim Female and Functional Urology Unit, Bristol Urological Institute, Bristol, UK Abstract: Mirabegron is a relatively new drug introduced to treat overactive bladder syndrome. It can be used either on its own or as part of a combination. This drug has been extensively studied, with a good number of Phase II and Phase III trials showing promising outcomes. These studies show that mirabegron is an effective, well-tolerated drug, which could have some adverse effects of concern. In this review, we look at the trials on mirabegron, as well as its pharmacokinetics, mechanism of action, and side effects as documented in the literature. Keywords: mirabegron, overactive bladder disorder, antimuscarinic

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
An analysis of the relationship between the international economic-legal regime and the achievement of balanced and stable growth through the international economic cycle
No full textThe global economy is controlled by an 'international economic–legal regime' (hereinafter
"IELR"), in which international economic institutions (hereinafter "IEIs") are the major nonstate
actors. They provide the rules of the game for the interaction of the States in an
international economic scenario. These IEIs, through their institutional capacity, enhance
certainty and predictability within the IELR, thereby passively supporting stable and a balanced
growth of global economy.
This thesis argues that opportunities to achieve stable and balanced growth, in which both the
financial and the real side of the economy grow, can be improved if the IEIs increase their focus
on the relationship between the Economic Cycle and the IEIs' institutional role. This argument
is developed by analysing the relationship between the IEIs' institutional role and the Economic
Cycle, first describing the Economic Cycle, and then clarifying the functioning of the IEIs in
their institutional role. To narrow the scope of this research, this thesis takes two IEIs as case
studies; namely, the IMF and the WTO
