In this paper, the bandwidth of rectangular Microstrip antenna is enhanced by ‘I’ slotted rectangular microstrip patch antenna. In some applications which the increased bandwidth is needed, proposed antenna is one of the alternative solutions. The proposed antenna has been designed at the 2 GHz frequency. The frequency band of proposed antenna is in between (1.64-3.26 GHz) the fractional bandwi...

Abstract This paper describes an optimization procedure for the synthesis of complex distillation configurations. A superstructure based on the Reversible Distillation Sequence Model (RDSM) is proposed embedding all possible alternative designs using tray-by-tray models. Generalized Disjunctive Programming (GDP) is used to model the superstructure. Due to the large size and complexity of the fo...

Background:Various impression techniques have been proposed for making implant prostheses. Impressions are made at level –closed and open tray impressions, as well abutment impressions. Closed copings used to make the The limitations associated with copings, including expensive ones, pose a significant challenge in limited mouth-opening cases, customization of is not feasible.Aim: This study ai...

An ontogenetic study of the sieve element protoplast of Nicotiana tabacum L. by light and electron microscopy has shown that the P-protein component (slime) arises as small groups of tubules in the cytoplasm. These subsequently enlarge to form comparatively large compact masses of 231 +/- 2.5 (SE)A (n = 121) tubules, the P-protein bodies. During subsequent differentiation of the sieve element, ...

BACKGROUND Health care costs in Canada continue to rise. As a result of this relentless increase in healthcare spending, ways to increase efficiency and decrease cost are constantly being sought. Surgical treatment is the mainstay of therapy for many conditions in the field of Otolaryngology- Head and Neck Surgery. The evidence suggests that room exists to optimize tray efficiency as a novel me...

A rigorous model for staged high purity distillation based on rst principles is developped. The importance of the tray hydraulics to obtain good agreement between simulation and experiment is demonstrated. Analytical expressions to derive the hydraulic time constants l, v and the vapor constant for models with simpli ed tray hydraulics are presented. The validity of these key parameters is veri...
