A novel transition structure based on Substrate Integrated Circular Cavity (SICC) is proposed in this paper. The design approach of the transition structure can also be used in other operating frequency. Good performance of flexibility and S-parameters were observed for the new transition structure. Different design tools were used to validate the design method.

This paper analyses the workspace of the three-revolute orthogonal manipulators that have at least one of their DH parameters equal to zero. These manipulators are classified into different groups with similar kinematic properties. The classification criteria are based on the topology of the workspace. Each group is evaluated according to interesting kinematic properties such as the size of the...

This paper presents the results of a pitch accent categorisation simulation which attempts to classify L*H and H*L accents using a psychologically motivated exemplar-theoretic model of categorisation. Pitch accents are represented in terms of six linguistically meaningful parameters describing their shape. No additional information is employed in the categorisation process. The results indicate...

Jeffreys’ prior, one of the widely used noninformative priors, remains invariant under reparameterization, but does not perform satisfactorily in the presence of nuisance parameters. To overcome this deficiency, recently various noninformative priors have been proposed in the literature. Ž . This article explores the invariance or lack thereof of some of these noninformative priors including th...

Utilizing the most recent experimental data, we reanalyze high energy p̄p and pp data, using the asymptotic amplitude analysis, under the assumption that we have reached ‘asymptopia’. This analysis gives strong evidence for a log (s/s0) dependence at current energies and not log(s/s0), and also demonstrates that odderons are not necessary to explain the experimental data. Work partially supporte...

BWB investigate whether exchange rate unpredictability is due to instabilities of the relationship between exchange rates and its fundamentals. In their exercise, BWB calibrate on actual data a model where the parameters linking exchange rates and fundamentals are allowed to change over time. BWB find that the pattern of out-of-sample (un)predictability assessed on data generated from a fixed c...

1 Assistant Professor of Architectural Engineering, University of Nebraska – Lincoln, Omaha, NE 68182-0681, [email protected]. Abstract  The purpose of this paper is to show the merits of using the order-of-magnitude analysis in engineering education to solve engineering and science problems, e.g., taken from the fields of heat transfer and fluid mechanics. By this approach, the engineering stude...

Large and variable polarization is an inherent property of a majority of blazars. Systematic rotations of the polarization vector have been claimed for several blazars. In some cases, however, the reality of these rotations may be questionable. We suggest an additional method for the verification of the reality of polarization position angle rotations based on the correlation of the normalized ...

In this paper we address the problem of classifying objects (e.g. person or car) and actions (e.g. hugging or eating) [2]. The more successful methods are based on a uniform pyramidal representation (SPM) built on a visual word vocabulary [1]. In this paper, we augment the classification by adding more flexible spatial information. This will be formulated more generally as inferring additional ...
