The separation of polypeptides by electrophoresis allowed Arne Tiselius to describe protein fractions corresponding to albumin, -, -, and -globulins in serum with the Rrst published diagram of human serum protein electrophoresis in 1939. The number of fractions slowly expanded into electrophoretic subfractions identiRed as 1, 2, 1, 2, 1 and 2. The mobility characteristics of these fractions are...

Magnetically controlled waveguide-based phase shifters are desirable for their high performance, but bulky and heavy, thus cannot be easily integrated with printed circuit board (PCB) based circuits. To tackle this, substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) technology has been utilized, which brings the to a standard PCB, requires large numbers of vias as well multiple cavities in substrate ferrite ...

Aluminosilicate gel precursor having mullite composition was synthesized from inorganic salts of aluminum and silicon by employing the sol-gel method. Chemical analysis, surface area and bulk density measurements were performed to characterize the dried gel. The course of the mullitization was examined by FT-IR analysis which confirmed the diphasic nature of the gel. ...

results the results showed that nl1-gc/ls2 primer set could yield species-specific amplicons, which were well distinguished and allowed better species discrimination than that generated by the its3-gc/its4 primer set, in both dgge and ttge profiles. all five candida species were discriminated by dgge and ttge using the nl1-gc/ls2 primer set. conclusions comparison of dgge and ttge profiles obta...

Chaff is one of the most widely used and effective expendable electronic attack (EA) devices. It is a form of volumetric radar clutter consisting of multiple metalized radar reflectors known as chaff fibers designed to confuse hostile radar operation. It is dispensed into the atmosphere to deny radar acquisition, generate false targets. To understand the dynamics of chaff cloud, a software has ...

A novel perturbation approach using additional metalized via-holes for implementation of the dual-band or wide-band dual-mode substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) filters is proposed in this paper. The independent perturbation on the first resonant mode TE101 can be constructed by applying the proposed perturbation approach, whereas the second resonant mode TE102 is not affected. Thus, new kind...

Space missions of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) can be categorized into two major areas: deep-space exploration and Earth remote sensing. As scientists have learned from the previous missions, higher capabilities and more stringent system requirements are being placed on future missions, such as longer distance communications, hi...

Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) technology is the most promising candidate for the implementation of millimeter-wave (mm-wave) integrated circuits and systems for the next decade. Based on planar dielectric substrates with top and bottom metal layers perforated with metalized holes, SIW structures offer a compact, low loss, flexible, and cost-effective solution for integrating active circu...

This paper presents a successful method for releasing high aspect ratio SU-8 micro-structures by the use of positive photoresist (AZ 4620) as sacrificial layer. The AZ 4620 photoresist sacrificial layer was dissolved by the SU-8 developer (propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate). Thus, this process reduces the need for complex microfabrication steps and equipments which are otherwise require...
