Modern microwave and millimeter wave phased array antennas are attractive because of their ability to steer wave beams in space without physically moving the antenna element. A typical phased array antenna may have several thousand elements fed by a phase shifter for every antenna, which can steer the resulting array beam to different directions. Their low loss, low cost and lightweight phase s...

a new two-step implicit linear obrechkoff twelfth algebraic order method with vanished phase-lag and its first, second, third and fourth derivatives is constructed in this paper. the purpose of this paper is to develop an efficient algorithm for the approximate solution of the one-dimensional radial schrodinger equation and related problems. this algorithm belongs in the category of the multist...

in our search for new anticancer medicinal plants, the antiproliferative activity of the methanol extract of daphne mucronata (thymelaeaceae) was evaluated using human myelogenous leukemia k562 cells. the cells responded to plant treatments in a dose dependent manner and the ic50 of the crude extract (equivalent to 1 g of plant leaves powder per ml) and the purified active component were found ...

introduction: the implantation is a complex procedure that involves many molecules. one of these molecules is integrin specially &alphav;&beta3; which serves as receptor for components of extra cellular matrix to act as bridging molecules between the blastocyst and the endometrial surface during the implantation process. by blocking &alphav;&beta3; interactions, the implantation can be impaired...

in this paper the propagation of harmonic plane waves in a homogeneous anisotropic magneto-piezothermoelastic diffusive body with fractional order derivative is studied. the governing equations for a homogeneous transversely isotropic body in the context of the theory of thermoelasticity with diffusion given by sherief et al. [1] are considered as a special case. it is found that three types of...

fermentation is an important process for black tea production. during this process, by exposure of substrate to enzymes and the underlying oxidation reactions, quality determining factors of tea is produced. it is known that the exogenous application of cell-wall degrading enzymes leads to the increased production of these compounds through enhancement of enzyme-substrate interactions. pectinas...

carbon disulfide is used predominantly in the manufacture. it has affects the nervous system. in this study, the applicability of spme as a passive sampler for determination of carbon disulphide in air was studied. effect of sampler and environmental parameters on uptake of carbon disulphide was studied as well. four fibers were tested to select the best sampler for determine carbon disulfide i...

in this study, aniline-formaldehyde polymer was synthesized and then modified with extra aniline as cross-linker in the presence and absence of ni(ii) as the template to produce ion imprinted poly(aniline-formaldehyde) (iipaf) and non imprinted poly(aniline-formaldehyde)(nipaf) the iipaf was subjected to adsorption, preconcentration and determination of ni(ii) ion in environmental samples. the ...

in this research, the selective oxidation of benzene to maleic anhydride (man) in a fixed-bed reactor was studied. the gas phase catalytic oxidation of benzene was carried outin a laboratory scale fixed bed reactor on the catalysts, which were prepared having two different compositions on silica gel. the effects of temperature, flow rates of benzene and air, and catalyst type on the reaction se...

in order to increase the efficiency of the conveyance of the granular solids, a new experimental set-up is designed. the test rig has longitudinal trapezoidal slots in its conveying pipes. through experimentation, a correlation for friction factor in terms of solid mass flow rate, fluid flow rate and froude number is presented. it is shown that the mixture friction factor for pipes with inner t...
