In this paper, the physical optics method is used to study the problem of electromagnetic scattering from Haack series nose cone. First, a meshing scheme is introduced which approximates the curvature of the surface by piecewise linear functions in both axial and rotational directions. This results in planar quadrilateral patches and enables efficient determination of the illuminated region and...

ate its performance in relation to field biotelemetry. When attached to fishes in the wild, the DO transmitter may be exposed to temporally and spatially changing temperatures. This issue is emphasized by laboratory studies on Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) demonstrating how this species may decrease the preferred temperature as a response to hypoxia (Petersen and Steffensen, 2003). Accordingly, t...

In this paper, the dynamical behavior of different optimal iterative schemes for solving nonlinear equations with increasing order, is studied. The tendency of the complexity of the Julia set is analyzed and referred to the fractal dimension. In fact, this fractal dimension can be shown to be a powerful tool to compare iterative schemes that estimate the solution of a nonlinear equation. Based ...
