in this paper, a photonic crystal waveguide with point defects and lattice constant perturbations of +5%, -5% are being investigated. firstly waveguide structures with constant and specific parameters are being studied and photonic band gap diagrams for te/tm modes are depicted; then pulse propagation in the frequencies available in the band gap are shown. after that, effects of parameters like...

Due to their light weights and high load carrying capacities, composite structures are widely used in various industrial applications especially in aerospace industry. Stiffening ribs are the main features of lattice type composite structures. Strength to weight ratio is known to be as one of the most critical design parameter in these structures. In this study, the effect of some parameters su...

The spreading use of cellular structures brings the need to speed up manufacturing processes without deteriorating mechanical properties. By using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) to produce cellular structures, the designer has total freedom in defining part geometry and manufacturing is simplified. The paper investigates the suitability of Selective Laser Melting for manufacturing steel cellular...

An interferometric lithographic technique and double exposure method are applied to theoretically and experimentally investigate several kinds of 2D periodic structures. The shape, lattice symmetries, and lattice constants of the 2D structures, for different substrate rotational angles, are obtained from the simulated predictions. The shape of the 2D structures can be varied by controlling the ...

In Homogeneous permutations, Peter Cameron [Electronic Journal of Combinatorics 2002] classified the homogeneous permutations (homogeneous structures with 2 linear orders), and posed the problem of classifying the homogeneous ndimensional permutation structures (homogeneous structures with n linear orders) for all finite n. We prove here that the lattice of ∅-definable equivalence relations in ...

We present a low resolution lattice model for which we can exhaustively generate all possible compact backbone conformations for small proteins. Using simple structural and energetic criteria, for a variety of proteins, we can select for lattice structures that have significant similarities with their known native structures. Our energetic parameters are based on pairwise amino acid contact fre...

We report on theoretical and experimental investigations of optical wave propagations in two-dimensional photonic lattice structures formed in a holographic polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (HPDLC) film. In the theoretical analysis we employed the 2×2 matrix formulation and the statistical thermodynamics model to analyze the formation of anisotropic photonic lattice structures by holographic po...

By studying two unsharp quantum structures, namely extended lattice ordered effect algebras and lattice ordered QMV algebras, we obtain some characteristic theorems of MV algebras. We go on to discuss automata theory based on these two unsharp quantum structures. In particular, we prove that an extended lattice ordered effect algebra (or a lattice ordered QMV algebra) is an MV algebra if and on...

In this paper, a new multiplier-less algorithm is proposed for the design of perfectreconstruction linear-phase (PR LP) filter banks by using multiplier-less lattice structures. The coefficients in the multiplication operations have been replaced with limited number of additions and the computational complexity is reduced significantly. The property of perfection reconstruction, however, is pre...
