This paper presents a new approach to feed multimode cavities used as microwave applicators for industrial and domestic ovens using solid-state sources operating in the 2.45 GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific Medical) band (commonly applications). The feeding structure consists of slot on top side applicator cavity. is fed by shielded asymmetric stripline with Substrate Integrated Waveguide (to pr...

In recent decades, noise levels in cities and the associated annoyance and health consequences have become regular topics of discussion. As a result, the assessment of environmental noise transmitting into buildings has received much attention. Current models of sound transmission through open windows have either neglected their thickness or the presence of a room behind on one side. The object...

If a document is written using a computer then it obviously makes sense for it to be read on the same medium. But how will the ordinary man-in-the-street react to this? How will he react to sitting down at a terminal instead of browsing through bookshelves? How will he react to scanning a screenful of text rather than feeling the ‘physicalness’ of a real book? What facilities will he expect? Wh...

Despite of their rising popularity, current cloud storage services and cloud-backed storage systems still have some limitations related to reliability, durability assurances and inefficient file sharing. We present SCFS, a cloud-backed file system that addresses these issues and provides strong consistency and near-POSIX semantics on top of eventually-consistent cloud storage services. SCFS pro...

There are several types of designs used for unicompartmental tibial components. The all-plastic inlay component is recessed and it preserves bone around the outer edge of the tibia. For an onlay component, the entire condyle is resected, and the plastic bearing is usually metal-backed, although all-plastic components are also available. The purpose of this study was to investigate the hypothesi...

At the time of an initial public offering, shares in a firm are typically held by venture capitalists, insiders, corporate investors, and angel investors. We examine the role of angel investors in the IPO process.

We present a new theory about underpricing and Venture Capital-backed (VC-backed) companies where the key feature is capacity constraints Venture Capital firms can take only a limited number of new projects. This model can match the evidence gathered by the empirical literature on the grandstanding hypothesis, i.e., that younger Venture Capitalists rush to Initial Public Offers (IPOs). Moreover...
