In a molecular beam experiment we have measured the sticking probability of NO at Ni( lO0) as a function of coverage and molecular orientation. The NO molecules in the 2 1 1, H1/212, 1⁄2> ground state are state selected by use of an electrostatic hexapole. The orientation was produced by a homogeneous electric field. The initial sticking probability is found to be higher for N-end collisions. T...

Due to its potential enable global connectivity in remote locations, such as rural areas and islands, Space-Air-Ground networks have become an ambitious solution for terrestrial communication the sixth generation (6G) wireless network. In this paper, we propose a novel structure of Space-Air-Ground-Sea integrated (SAGSINs) study derive coverage probability (CP) users who are annotated surface s...

Key Findings. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is designed to offer premium subsidies to help eligible individuals and their families purchase insurance coverage when affordable job-based coverage is not available. However, the law is unclear on how this affordability protection is applied in those instances where self-only coverage offered by an employer is affordable but f...

We study the following natural variant of the budgeted maximum coverage problem: We are given a budget B and a hypergraph G = (V,E), where each vertex has a non-negative cost and a non-negative profit. The goal is to select a set of hyperedges T ⊆ E such that the total cost of the vertices covered by T is at most B and the total profit of all covered vertices is maximized. Besides being a natur...

An investigation into the effect of ground slot in a microstrip antenna is presented. Initially, a planar inverted-F antenna dedicated for 2.45 GHz WLAN lower band is designed. Its rectangular ground plane is then introduced with slots to excite new magnetic resonance for 5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN upper band. The slots are optimized by tuning their three different configuration parameters which are the ...
