Article Abstract

This study presents the design of a high-gain 16 × 16-slot antenna array with a low sidelobe level (SLL) using a tapered ridge gap waveguide feeding network for Ka-band applications. The proposed antenna element includes four cavity-backed slot antennas. A tapered feeding network is designed and utilized for unequal feeding of the radiating elements. Ridge gap waveguide technology is used to reduce the feeding network loss and achieve a low-loss array antenna. The feed layer of the proposed antenna is coupled to a standard rectangular waveguide (WR-28) using a proper transition. The measured results show an impedance bandwidth of more than 17% over the frequency range of 27.5-32.6 GHz covering one of the standard vehicle-to-satellite band (29.4-31.0 GHz) and 5G mmWave N261 band (27.5-28.35 GHz), a maximum gain of 28.9 dBi, and SLL lower than - 20 dB. Thanks to its high performance and desirable features, the proposed antenna shows potential for use in vehicular radar systems and high data rate mmWave communications.

The molecular clock exhibits distinct characteristics across various tissues and can be synchronized by particular stimuli. Furthermore, there is an intricate interplay among the molecular clocks within different tissues. In this context, we present an overview of the tissue-specific molecular clock and discuss pivotal nonphotic regulators that govern the host's circadian rhythms and metabolic processes.

Objectives: Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) could transform how science is conducted, supporting researchers with writing, coding, peer review, and evidence synthesis. However, it is not yet known how eating disorder researchers utilize generative AI, and uncertainty remains regarding its safe, ethical, and transparent use. The Executive Committee of the International Journal of Eating Disorders disseminated a survey for eating disorder researchers investigating their practices and perspectives on generative AI, with the goal of informing guidelines on appropriate AI use for authors, reviewers, and editors.

Background And Objectives: Thymidine kinase 2 deficiency (TK2d) is an ultra-rare, progressive, and life-threatening mitochondrial myopathy caused by pathogenic variants of the thymidine kinase 2 gene. Patients often lose the ability to walk, eat, and breathe independently. There are no approved therapies; however, preclinical studies of pyrimidine nucleos(t)ide therapy have shown promising results.

Understanding how animals respond to ecological constraints is crucial for interpreting the dynamics of social networks in the wild. We investigated how experimentally induced changes in perceived predation risk and food abundance influence the social behaviour of wild rock hyraxes (Procavia capensis), using experimental manipulations and a meta-analytical framework. We used proximity sensors, trail cameras and observations to record multiple aspects of social interactions.

Teeth have been a prominent feature of most vertebrates for 400 million years, and the core regulatory network underlying embryonic tooth formation is deeply conserved. In frogs, however, odontogenesis is delayed, occurring instead during the postembryonic metamorphosis and resulting in teeth that are restricted to the upper jaw and palate. Developmental-genetic mechanisms that underlie tooth formation in frogs are poorly understood.
