This paper presents analysis and design of a compact ultra wide band (UWB) filter using three parallel folded coupled lines in a defected ground structure in multi-layer structure. Defected ground has been incorporated under the coupled lines of the filter to improve the coupling over a wide bandwidth. The closed form expressions for even and odd mode impedances for the coupled lines with defec...

CONTEXT Individuals experiencing prodromal symptoms of schizophrenia (ultra-high-risk group) demonstrate impaired performance on tasks of executive function, attention, and working memory. The neurobiological underpinnings of such executive deficits in ultra-high-risk individuals remains unclear. OBJECTIVE We assessed frontal and striatal functions during a visual oddball continuous performan...

Background: Although ultra-brief outcome and process measures have been developed for individual therapy, currently there are no ultra-brief alliance measures for group therapy. Method: The current study examined 105 clients in group therapy for issues related to substance abuse or with issues related to the substance abuse of a significant other. We tested whether a newly developed group thera...

A triplexer for ultra-wideband radio implemented entirely with distributed microstrips is presented. The triplexer is composed of a triplex junction network and three bandpass filters. The circuit is integrated in a flex-rigid printed circuit board. Three flat 1 GHz sub-bands in the frequency band 6-9 GHz have been achieved. The group delay variation within each 1 GHz sub-band was measured to b...

A compact ultra-wideband microstrip-fed planar monopole antenna with dual band-notch characteristic is presented. Dual notched frequency bands are achieved by embedding an M-slot in the radiating patch and a W-slot in the ground beneath the feeding line. And the characteristics of the dual band-notched can be controlled by adjusting the length and position of the corresponding slot. Experimenta...

Aim: The present work was established in order to investigate the effect of ultra-corn administration on the immune response of vaccinated calves with FMD bivalent oil vaccine. Material and Methods: Forty calves; at a private farm in EL-Fayoum Governorate (Locality A); were divided into 4 groups nd rd th where the first group was vaccinated with the locally produced FMD bivalent oil vaccine alo...

BACKGROUND Formal thought disorder is a cardinal feature of psychosis. However, the extent to which formal thought disorder is evident in ultra-high-risk individuals and whether it is linked to the progression to psychosis remains unclear. AIMS Examine the severity of formal thought disorder in ultra-high-risk participants and its association with future psychosis. METHOD The Thought and La...

the term ultra short is not clearly defined in ultrashort-segment hirschsprung’s disease. the limited extent of the ultrashort-segment hirschsprung’s disease allows for treatment with extended sphincteromyectomy. in anal sphincter achalasia, anal sphincter dilatation under general anesthesia may be sufficient to treat the condition; in cases with persistent constipation, sphincteromyectomy is i...

in [1] we uniquely introduced ultra exponential functions (uxpa) and denednext step of the serial binary operations: addition, multiplication and power.also, we exhibited the topic of limit summability of real functions in [2,3]. inthis paper, we study limit summability of the ultra exponential functions andprove some of their properties. finally, we pose an unsolved problem aboutthem.
