Investigating Long-Distance Exploding-Wire Restrike

Investigating the “Wireless Wire”

Advancements of silicon technology have led to the field of Micromachining in which it is now possible to create discrete transmitting and receiving devices on the scale of a cubic millimeter. Given such technological capabilities, it is now worth while investigating situations in which these devices can be utilized. In this paper a network of such devices is considered for the end task of prop...

Pseudoseeds: Investigating Long-Distance, Ocean Seed Dispersal with Wireless Sensors

Recent theoretical research has shown that ocean currents and wind interact to disperse seeds over long distances among isolated landmasses. Dispersal of seeds among isolated oceanic islands, by birds, oceans and man, is a well-known phenomenon, and many widespread island plants have traits that facilitate this process. Crucially, however, there have been no mechanistic vector-based models of l...

Long-Wire Notes

Dedication This volume of studies of long-wire antennas is dedicated to the memory of Jean, who was my wife, my friend, my supporter, and my colleague. Her patience, understanding, and assistance gave me the confidence to retire early from academic life to undertake full-time the continuing development of my personal web site (http://www.cebik.com). The site is devoted to providing, as best I c...

Guide wire distance marks for oesophageal dilatation.

The addition of chemically etched distance marks to standard oesophageal guide wires is described so that guide wire retraction during progressive oesophageal dilatation and impending impaction of the dilator onto the flexible wire tip can be quickly and easily recognised.
