Abstract— This work investigates the improvement of the active reflection coefficient of waveguide-fed phased-array antenna using liquid crystal layers. The anisotropy properties of liquid crystal layer can be employed to eliminate blind scan angle and improve the wide angle impedance matching of the waveguide-fed phased array antennas. The authors have expressed the modal analysis of the waveg...

Polyrotaxane metal-organic frameworks (PMOFs) have attracted considerable attention due to their aesthetic topologies and potential biological applications. In this paper, we synthesized two kinds of hcb networks with nanoscale macrocycles. The hcb networks interlocked with each other in inclined and parallel interlocking modes respectively, giving rise to two new PMOFs, {[Ni(DPDBT)(bdc)]·(H2O)...

119004-7272 IJMME-IJENS © August 2011 IJENS I J E N S  Abstract—In this paper, diagonal walking strategy on inclined floor is proposed. In conventional methods, bipedal robots walking on inclined floor are solved only in straight direction. When a biped walks on flat floor, the pelvis orientation is always parallel with the floor surface. However, walking on inclined floor will make the robot ...

The aim of this research note is to prove the following new transformation formula begin{equation*} (1-x)^{-2a},_{3}F_{2}left[begin{array}{ccccc} a, & a+frac{1}{2}, & d+1 & & \ & & & ; & -frac{4x}{(1-x)^{2}} \ & c+1, & d & & end{array}right] \ =,_{4}F_{3}left[begin{array}{cccccc} 2a, & 2a-c, & a-A+1, & a+A+1 & & \ & & & & ; & -x \ & c+1, & a-A, & a+A & & end{array} right], end{equation*} wher...

‎In this paper we consider the special classes of Sonnenschein matrices‎, ‎namely the Karamata matrices $K[alpha,beta]=left(a_{n,k}right)$ with the entries‎ ‎[{a_{n,k}} = sumlimits_{v = 0}^k {left( begin{array}{l}‎ ‎n\‎ ‎v‎ ‎end{array} right){{left( {1‎ - ‎alpha‎ - ‎beta } right)}^v}{alpha ^{n‎ - ‎v}}left( begin{array}{l}‎ ‎n‎ + ‎k‎ - ‎v‎ - ‎1\‎ ‎,,,,,,,,,,k...

antenna structures with low side lobe levels are normally the main goal during antenna design. in this paper, a new method for reduction of radiation pattern side lobe level in phased array antenna with uniform and non-uniform weighting is presented. in this method, by changing the array elements weight or adding several elements, such as slc technique, the pattern with low side lobe level can ...

background: disorders of sex development (dsds) belong to uncommon pathologies and result from abnormalities during gonadal determination and differentiation. various gene mutations involved in gonadal determination and differentiation have been associated with gonadal dysgenesis. despite advances in exploration of genes and mechanisms involved in sex disorders, most children with severe 46,xy ...

We examined the interpretation of upward and downward social comparison and its effect on life satisfaction in a questionnaire study among 444 community-dwelling elderly persons with different levels of frailty. As we expected, elderly persons with higher levels of frailty were less inclined to contrast and more inclined to identify themselves with a downward comparison target. Furthermore, the...

This case report describes the repositioning of a laterally luxated primary central incisor with occlusal interference, using a composite inclined plane. The patient was a 4-year-old girl who applied to our clinic three days after the injury. Because of the time delay between injury and presentation, it was not possible to reposition the tooth with pressure. Following a root-canal treatment, an...
