We extend the design of radially symmetric invisibility cloaks through transformation optics as proposed by Pendry et al. [Science 312, 1780 (2006)] to coated cylinders of an arbitrary cross section. The validity of our Fourier-based approach is confirmed by both analytical and numerical results for a cloak displaying a non-convex cross section of varying thickness. In the former case, we evalu...

background: transient and stable transformation of host plants are the common techniques to produce transgenic plants. however, the main drawback of stable transformation is the fact that it takes quite a long time to produce a transgenic line. while, transient gene expression is a quick method to produce recombinant proteins in plants.  objective: the main goal of the present study was to eval...

An explicit design procedure of cross-sections framed tube high-rise buildings via an inverse problem approach is presented. In the formulation, interstory drift ratios and net deformations beams are prescribed. The derived expressions clearly express three-dimensional effect (tube effect) from orthogonal frame. helpful for preliminary because rationally rapidly provided a set target without tr...

A novel method for killing transformed cells selectively, without affecting surrounding nontransformed cells, has been developed. The method is based on our finding that transformed cells form their own gap-junctional communication compartment which is independent of that of adjacent nontransformed cells; transformed cells and adjacent normal cells transfer molecules through gap junctions among...

This report describes the design, modeling, and testing of two portable timber bridges, each consisting of two non-interconnected longitudinal glued-laminated timber (glulam) deck panel modules 1.8 m (6 ft) wide. One bridge is 12.2 m (40 ft) long while the other bridge is 10.7 m (35 ft) long. The modules are fabricated in a double-tee cross section. Before fabrication of the modules, researcher...

This paper proposes a structural damage detection method based on one-dimensional convolutional neural network (CNN). The can automatically extract features from data to detect damage. First, three-layer framework model was designed. Second, the displacement of each node collected under environmental excitation. Then, transformed into interlayer form dataset. Third, in order verify feasibility ...

In order to provide an efficient conversion and utilization of solar power, solar radiation datashould be measured continuously and accurately over the long-term period. However, the measurement ofsolar radiation is not available to all countries in the world due to some technical and fiscal limitations. Hence,several studies were proposed in the literature to find mathematical and physical mod...
