We theoretically demonstrate a subwavelength spoof surface-plasmon-polariton (SPP) microcavity on a planar metallic surface working at the terahertz regime with a high-quality factor and ultra-small mode volume. The microcavity is based on plasmonic and metamaterial notions, and it consists of an easy-to-manufacture circular aperture and a bell-shaped metallic core. It is shown that such a stru...

The hybrid nature of optoacoustic imaging might impose limitations on concurrent placement of optical and ultrasonic detection components, especially in high resolution microscopic applications that require dense arrangements and miniaturization of components. This hinders optimal deployment of the optical excitation and ultrasonic detection paths, leading to reduction of imaging speed and spat...

Non-coaxial response refers to the deviation between directions of principal stress and plastic strain increment. In this paper, an extended hypoplastic model is proposed based on anisotropic critical state theory, describe non-coaxial sand subjected both monotonic loading rotation axis. A fabric tensor that characterizes internal structure introduced into a model, reflect effect anisotropy dil...

In recent years, various types of medical applications of microwaves have widely been investigated and reported [1]. In particular, minimally invasive microwave thermal therapies using thin coaxial antennas are of a great interest. They are interstitial microwave hyperthermia [2] and microwave coagulation therapy (MCT) [3] for medical treatment of cancer, cardiac catheter ablation for ventricul...

Plasmonics paves the way for manipulating optical signals at the nanoscale level by coupling light to coherent electronic excitations (known as surface plasmon resonances) at the dielectric/ metal interface. [ 1 ] The strong confi nement of light associated with surface plasmon resonances has led to the development of various subwavelength photonic components, such as waveguides, [ 2–4 ] switch...

The structure of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) has been previously studied by many different electron microscopic techniques. Recently, scanning electron microscopes have been developed that can visualise biologically relevant structural detail at the same level of resolution as transmission electron microscopes and have been used to study NPC structure. We have used such an instrument to visu...

Submitted for the DFD10 Meeting of The American Physical Society Coaxial twin-fluid atomization with pattern air gas streams CHIN HEI NG, ALBERTO ALISEDA, University of Washington — Coaxial twin-fluid atomization has numerous industrial applications, most notably fuel injection and spray coating. In the coating process of pharmaceutical tablets, the coaxial atomizing air stream is accompanied b...

OBJECTIVE The coaxial circle system helps prevent heat loss during surgery, and it also acts as a humidifier. This study aimed to compare the coaxial breathing system and the conventional system in their ability to warm and moisturize inhaled gases, and we also analyzed lung function protection and saccharin clearance time in patients who underwent tympanomastoidectomy (TMT) with the aid of the...

This work presents a design technique to implement miniaturized cross-coupled bandpass filters in inline physical configurations based on triple-mode resonators. Triple-mode resonances are obtained by using integrated coaxial-waveguide cavity They consist of two coaxial conducting posts placed the sidewalls rectangular waveguide cavity. In proposed triplet, transmission zero (TZ) can be positio...
