The propagation at millimeter wave band is affe...

Metasurfaces are a family of novel wavefront-shaping devices with planar profile and subwavelength thickness. Acoustic metasurfaces with ultralow profile yet extraordinary wave manipulating properties would be highly desirable for improving the performance of many acoustic wave-based applications. However, designing acoustic metasurfaces with similar functionality to their electromagnetic count...

The dust explosion prevention in mines and dusted industries has been an important issue for years. During this time, many experimental and theoretical investigations have been carried out. Nevertheless, up to now nobody can declare that all the mechanisms are clear and the comprehensive mathematical model is constructed taking into account all the details of this complicated process. The gas-d...

Electromagnetic wave propagation in arid and semi-arid regions is influenced by sand and dust storms. Meagre information has hitherto been reported as to the effect of storms on telecommunication systems operating in such regions. This paper presents a survey of current understanding of the wave propagation during storms. In this first part of the review—Part I, detailed parametric assessment o...
