Background and Purpose: Increased blood pressure (BP), heart rate and their derivatives (variability, pulse pressure, rate-pressure product [RPP]) are associated with poor clinical outcome in acute stroke. We assessed the effects of glyceryl trinitra... Read More about Effect of glyceryl trinitrate on haemodynamics in acute stroke: data from the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke trial.

‘Enormous Opportunities’ and ‘Hot Frontiers’: Sub-Saharan Africa in U.S. Grand Strategy, 2001-Present (2019)
Journal Article

This article argues that, in the 21st century, there has been a significant turnaround in the US approach to Sub-Saharan Africa. No longer is the region viewed solely as the site of human tragedy and internal wars where Washington has no tangible int...

Amplification-free and direct fluorometric determination of telomerase activity in cell lysates using chimeric DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (2019)
Journal Article

A fluorogenic probe has been developed for determination of telomerase activity using chimeric DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (AgNCs). The formation of AgNCs was investigated before (route A) and after (route B) telomerase elongation reaction. Bot...

Association Between Residual Inhibition and Neural Activity in Patients with Tinnitus: Protocol for a Controlled Within- and Between-Subject Comparison Study (2019)
Journal Article

Background: Electroencephalography (EEG) studies indicate possible associations between tinnitus and changes in the neural activity. However, inconsistent results require further investigation to better understand such heterogeneity and inform the in...

Control of DC-DC Converter for Interfacing Supercapcitors Energy storage to DC Micro Grids (2019)
Conference Proceeding

© 2018 IEEE. The DC/DC converter control presents non-minimum phase behaviour in boost mode as its control plant has a Right Hand Plane (RHP) zero. The RHP zero restricts the achievement of high dynamic performance and make the control design a chall...

SiC power MOSFETs Threshold-voltage hysteresis and its impact on Short Circuit operation (2019)
Conference Proceeding

V TH subthreshold hysteresis is an aspect of MOSFET's threshold instabilities that is gaining interests in last few years. As a matter of fact, reliability concerns are raised due to the fluctuation of the threshold voltage depending on the previous...

Impact of variable fluid properties on forced convection of Fe3O4/CNT/water hybrid nanofluid in a double-pipe mini-channel heat exchanger (2019)
Journal Article

The objective of this study is to assess the hydrothermal performance of a non-Newtonian hybrid nanofluid with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and viscosity compared with a Newtonian hybrid nanofluid with constant thermophysical properties...

Genome-Wide Variation, Candidate Regions and Genes Associated With Fat Deposition and Tail Morphology in Ethiopian Indigenous Sheep (2019)
Journal Article

Variations in body weight and in the distribution of body fat are associated with feed availability, thermoregulation, and energy reserve. Ethiopia is characterized by distinct agro-ecological and human ethnic farmer diversity of ancient origin, whic...

Imaging human cortical responses to intraneural microstimulation using magnetoencephalography (2019)
Journal Article

The sensation of touch in the glabrous skin of the human hand is conveyed by thousands of fast-conducting mechanoreceptive afferents, which can be categorised into four distinct types. The spiking properties of these afferents in the periphery in re... Read More about Imaging human cortical responses to intraneural microstimulation using magnetoencephalography.
