Utilizing a cross-disciplinary approach, we explore Shannon information-theoretic characterizations of the information capacity limits generic electromagnetic (EM) surfaces intended for possible use in wireless communication links. Our principal task is to first formulate at general and rigorous level EM theory that can be extracted from Maxwellian fields radiated by an arbitrarily shaped conti...

An experimental study carried out to observe the flexural capacity of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with Near Surface Mounted (NSM) steel bars is presented. The test was on nine beams. All tested were subjected two-point monotonic loads. ratio longitudinal reinforcement (1%, 1.4%, and 2.4%) NSM (1D16 2D16) used as variables. It found from result that significantly increase However, fai...

this paper deals with three-dimensional evaluation of the slopes on the basis of limit analysis. an upper-bound technique of limit analysis is used in this paper to determine either the bearing capacity of a shallow foundation near a slope or the safety factor of the slope. the theorems of limit analysis (upper and lower bound) provide a powerful tool for solving problems in which limit loads n...

This letter studies the performance of a single-input single-output (SISO) system enhanced by assistance an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS), which is equipped with finite number elements under Rayleigh fading channels. From instantaneous channel capacity, we compute closed-form expression coverage probability as function statistical information only. A scaling law and phase shifts further ...

The present study deals with the contribution of the surface atomic layer to the specific heat of nanocrystals. In the case of small phases with comparable number of bulk and surface atoms, the variation of heat capacity with respect to that of infinitely large phase is significant. To evaluate this variation, in the framework of the classical Debye model, we introduce surface excess heat capac...

The effect of alterations in cell surface carbohydrates on invasion of mouse and rat cells into embryonic chick heart fragments in organ culture was studied. Matching pairs of malignant and nonmalignant cells, including all categories of carcinogenic induction (i.e., viral, chemical, or oncogenic), were compared for their alterations in cell surface carbohydrates and invasive behavior. Glycopep...
