We investigate the properties of nonlinear envelope pulses developed in a coupled composite rightand left-handed (CRLH) transmission line with regularly spaced Schottky varactors. It is found that the dispersive distortion of the envelope pulses carried by each mode is well compensated by nonlinearity introduced by the varactors. In addition, we numerically observe that the collision of two non...

The objective of the present study was to investigate endocrine control of LH in postpubertal boars with large testes. Eight boars with the highest estimated paired testis weights from a line selected for large testes and nine boars from a line selected at random were used. Blood samples were collected over a 13-h period at weekly intervals for 4 wk. Samples were collected at 12-min intervals f...

The propagation and radiation properties of dual composite right/left-handed (D-CRLH) transmission line metamaterials are presented, and validated experimentally with a 1D microstrip prototype. In its fast-wave regime, this structure operates as a leaky-wave antenna capable of backfire-to-endfire radiation scanning with beam squinting smaller than that of conventional CRLH (C-CRLH) antennas. It...

PURPOSE Around 10% of the population is left-handed (LH) and the new data suggests that there is genetic as well as environmental influence on the hand preference. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between breast cancer and hand preference. METHODS Breast cancer patients diagnosed and treated at the Department of Medical Oncology, Hacettepe University, Institute of On...

In this paper, some hidden aspects of composite right-/left-handed (CRLH) transmission lines (TLs) and couplers are clarified. Complete detailed dispersion analysis an isolated CRLH TL is presented including lossless lossy cases based on a conventional unit cell, devised formerly. Dispersion TLs extended form the to accurate cell. Capability consisting such cells in supporting RLH waves demonst...
