Potential mutagenicity of aflatoxin B1 in Egyptian spices by Basma El Geoshi, Gehan El-Akabawy, Mohammed El Metwally, Magda I. Soliman

“…Additionally, AFB1 caused changes in the protein profile detected by SDS‒PAGE, with each treated sample displaying a unique electrophoretic pattern due to the formation and disappearance of certain bands. The ISSR and RAPD assays changes in band numbers in all samples compared with the untreated control, and a decrease in genetic template stability (GTS) ratios was observed with higher levels of AFB1. …”

Tunable Filters Using Defected Ground Structures at Millimeter-Wave Frequencies by Kaushik Annam, Birhanu Alemayehu, Eunsung Shin, Guru Subramanyam

“…This paper explores the potential of phase change materials (PCM) for dynamically tuning the frequency response of a dumbbell u-slot defected ground structure (DGS)-based band stop filter. The DGSs are designed using co-planar waveguide (CPW) line structure on top of a barium strontium titanate (Ba_0.6Sr_0.4TiO₃) (BST) thin film. …”
