Hair Loss Associated with Sertraline: A Case Report by Seyed Hamzeh Hosseini, Hamed Ghazvini, Seyedeh Masoumeh Seyedhosseini Tamijani, Raheleh Rafaiee

“…The exact mechanism remains unclear, but it is suggested that SSRIs like sertraline may induce hair loss by pushing hair follicles into the telogen phase prematurely, leading to diffuse hair shedding. Management typically involves dose adjustment or discontinuation of sertraline, which has been shown to resolve hair loss in multiple cases. …”

A Hybrid Dual-Axis Solar Tracking System: Combining Light-Sensing and Time-Based GPS for Optimal Energy Efficiency by Muhammad Hammas, Hassen Fituri, Ali Shour, Ashraf Ali Khan, Usman Ali Khan, Shehab Ahmed

“…The system is based on the combination of two approaches to precisely track the sunlight: first, using multiple LDRs (light-dependent resistors) as photo sensors to track the position of the sun by balancing the resistivity using a proportional integral deprival (PID) controller, and the second approach using the time-based control for cloudy days when sunlight is diffused, getting the time GPS coordinates and time to calculate the accurate position of the sun by determining the azimuth and altitude angle. …”

Improved Photocatalytic Performance of a Novel Fe3O4@SiO2/Bi2SiO5 Hierarchical Nanostructure with Magnetic Recoverability by Xinxin Zhang, Xiaoli Dong, Baiyu Leng, Hongchao Ma, Xiufang Zhang

“…Magnetic Fe3O4@SiO2/Bi2SiO5 composites with a novel hierarchical nanostructure were synthesized by sol-gel and hydrothermal methods and were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS). It was found that the introduction of Fe3O4@SiO2 could turn the morphology of Bi2SiO5 from close-grained slab to hollow hierarchical architecture with fabric-structure. …”

Estimation of wireless channel fading model in maritime communication for complex meteorological environment by Yasheng DAI, Bolin MA, Guangxue YUE

“…Due to the influence of complex marine environmental factors such as sparse scattering of electromagnetic wave on the ocean surface, wave shadow fading, complex meteorological environment.It is extremely hard to model the fading of wireless channel in maritime communication environment.After analyzing the influence of meteorological environment and multipath channel fading via direct-path, specular-path and diffuse-path on marine wireless communication channel fading, the estimation of wireless channel fading model in maritime communication for complex meteorological environment (EWCFM-CME) was proposed.An improved bee colony algorithm was designed to estimation the parameter of EWCFM-CME.In order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of search algorithm, an iterative function with sin(·) function as operator was designed in search scheme of bee colonies.The leading bee received the detection bee solution to update itself with probability P.It prevents the solution algorithm from falling into local optimization.The simulation results show that, compared with fluctuate two-ray (FTR) fading model and round earth loss (REL) model, the mean absolute error (MAE) of EWCFM-CME increased by 13.58% and 11.43% By comparing EWCFM-CME with cuckoo search, genetic algorithm and simulated annealing algorithm, the search time is reduced by 60.48%, 45.18% and 43.23%, respectively.…”
