A new technique to reduce the size, improve the rejection in the stop-band of a low-pass filter using modified defected ground structure (DGS) is proposed. An equivalent circuit model is used to study the DGS characteristics. The parameters are extracted by using a simple circuit analysis method. Several comparisons between the EMsimulations and the circuit simulations of the new structure are ...

Velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS)/DiGeorge syndrome (DGS) is a human disorder characterized by a number of phenotypic features including cardiovascular defects. Most VCFS/DGS patients are hemizygous for a 1.5-3.0 Mb region of 22q11. To investigate the etiology of this disorder, we used a cre-loxP strategy to generate mice that are hemizygous for a 1.5 Mb deletion corresponding to that on 22q11...

Ionizing radiation (IR) induces highly cytotoxic double-strand breaks (DSBs) and also clustered oxidized bases in mammalian genomes. Base excision repair (BER) of bi-stranded oxidized bases could generate additional DSBs as repair intermediates in the vicinity of direct DSBs, leading to loss of DNA fragments. This could be avoided if DSB repair via DNA-PK-mediated nonhomologous end joining (NHE...

We report on five patients presenting with features of two congenital disorders, DiGeorge syndrome (DGS) and CHARGE association. CHARGE association is usually sporadic and its origin is as yet unknown. Conversely, more than 90% of DGS patients are monosomic for the 22q11.2 chromosomal region. In each of the five patients, both cytogenetic and molecular analysis for the 22q11.2 region were norma...

It makes the topology of distribution network more complex to contain a lot of distribution generations (DGs) in it. For this reason, a fault location approach suitable to the distribution network containing DGs is proposed. Firstly, according to the results of power flow calculation, a database of voltage sag is established; then the power quality information is acquired by power quality monit...

In this Letter, a dumbbell-shaped patch loaded slotline(PLS) is proposed. Like the conventional defected ground structure(DGS) for a microstrip line, we show that the proposed PLS can provide a wide bandstop characteristic in some frequency bands with only one or small number of unit cells. Also, the equivalent circuit model for a unit section is derived from the analysis of the field distribut...

Background: The increasing penetration of a massive number of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) and distributed generators (DGs) into current power distribution networks imposes obvious challenges on power distribution network operation. Methods: This paper presents an optimal temporal-spatial scheduling strategy of PEV charging demand in the presence of DGs. The solution is designed to ensure t...

This paper proposed a microstrip antenna array with DGS (Defective Ground Structure). The structure in this work is 2*1 microstrip patch array antenna using substrate with h= 0.762 mm and εr = 3.2. Two triangular-shaped patches are located on opposite side of PCB and spaced 14mm apart by a small ground portion. The proposed DGS of I-shape is placed in the ground plane. It does provide a method ...

The defected ground structure (DGS) is one such technique which where intentionally modified to enhance the performance of the ground plane metal of a microstrip circuit. Importantly, in microwave application, the DGS plays an important role in analyzing the effect of surface and leaky waves. During the time of experimental analysis, the surface and leaky waves are affected by the propagation u...
