Simulated and experimental investigations have been carried out on annular ring antenna designed on metamaterial substrate. Different configurations of Sshaped metal structure are designed on RT-Duroid substrate to achieve metamaterial behavior at the frequency of 10.5 GHz. Annular ring antenna is designed for TM31 mode on the metamaterial configurations. The antenna provides a huge size reduct...

an important property of electromagnetic fields, which arises from the interaction between fields and chiral molecules, is called optical chirality. by enhancing this field property, while maintaining constant input power, we are able to increase absorption of circularly polarized light by chiral molecules of a certain handedness. this enhancement is achieved through the use of achiral plasmoni...

BACKGROUND Type-2 diabetes mellitus is a complex condition for which pharmacists are well suited to improve patient outcomes by delivering medication therapy management (MTM) services. When diabetes is well controlled, patients can avoid its long-term complications, such as cardiovascular and renal diseases. This article describes an MTM pilot program that was implemented at a federally qualifi...

Fluctuations in the solar wind characteristics such as speed, temperature, magnetic strength and density are associated with pulsations in the magnetosphere. Coherent magnetohydrodynamic waves in the solar wind may sometimes be a direct source of periodic pulsations in the frequency interval 1 to 7 mHz in the magnetosphere. In studies of the solar wind and the way its variation affects the magn...

The Brazilian Association of Simmental and Simbrasil Cattle Farmers provided 29,510 records from 10,659 Simmental beef cattle; these were used to estimate (co)variance components and genetic parameters for weights in the growth trajectory, based on multi-trait (MTM) and random regression models (RRM). The (co)variance components and genetic parameters were estimated by restricted maximum likeli...

Abstract The multiple-try Metropolis method is an interesting extension of the classical Metropolis–Hastings algorithm. However, theoretical understanding about its usefulness and convergence behavior still lacking. We here derive exact rate for Independent sampler (MTM-IS) via explicit eigen analysis. As a by-product, we prove that naive application MTM-IS less efficient than using simpler app...

O Modelo Transteórico de Mudança (MTM) foi criado por Prochaska e DiClemente em (1982), sustenta trabalhos clínicos Dependência Química desde sua origem a partir Estágios Mudança. presente texto apresenta um rationale para tratamento musicoterapêutico dependência química apoiado no Científico Racional Mediação (Rational Scientific Mediating Model – R-SMM) interfaces com o MTM. Assim, discutimos...

Metamaterials, materials that are constructed with arrays of small elements have significant potential to provide material properties that are useful for electromagnetic applications but are not found in nature. Slight changes to a repeated unit cell can be used to tune the effective bulk material properties of a metamaterial, replacing the need to discover suitable materials for an application...

Recent experiments have demonstrated that the metamaterial approach is capable of drastic increase of the critical temperature T c of epsilon near zero (ENZ) metamaterial superconductors. For example, tripling of the critical temperature has been observed in Al-Al 2 O 3 ENZ core-shell metamaterials. Here, we perform theoretical modelling of T c increase in metamaterial superconductors based on ...

Recent experiments have shown the viability of the metamaterial approach to dielectric response engineering for enhancing the transition temperature, Tc, of a superconductor. In this report, we demonstrate the use of Al2O3-coated aluminium nanoparticles to form the recently proposed epsilon near zero (ENZ) core-shell metamaterial superconductor with a Tc that is three times that of pure alumini...
