This paper describes a novel antenna design for communicating with ISO/IEC 14443A RFID cards at larger distances than the normal 5-10 cm. The set-up consists of two antennas, one to activate the card at the normal frequency of 13.56 MHz, and another to receive its response at the higher harmonic frequency of 40.68 MHz. The strong field required to power the card at larger distances is likely to...

We examine the e ects of anti-takeover legislation on CEO pay. Since these laws altered an important component of governance, the threat of takeover, they provide a natural testing ground for theories of executive compensation. Under skimming models, where entrenched CEOs pay themselves, we would expect mean pay to rise as less governed CEOs manage to skim more. Under contracting models, where ...

There are a variety of technology instruments and software that can be utilized to improve language teaching learning. According research, integrating 'gamification' based like Kahoot! into language, schools affect learning results as effective assessment tools. This study examines the experiences eleven junior high school students in an international class used their English classes, focusing ...

We investigate the dynamics of a smoothly curved convex body skimming on layer shallow water, with phenomenon skipping stones as primary modelling motivation but also industrial applications in mind. The process such an object may consist two successive stages: impact stage and conditional planing stage. focus here is explaining change from one to other, movement responding freely fluid flow pr...

Mirage effect is contactless and non destructive method which has been used a lot to determine thermal properties of different  kind of samples , transverse photothermal deflection PTD in  skimming configuration with ccd camera  and special programs is used to determine thermal conductivity of porous silicon ps  film. Ps samples were prepared by electrochemical etching. Thermal conductivity wit...
