A square split-ring resonator (SRR) defected ground structure (DGS) is studied in this paper. This DGS structure has a flat low-pass characteristic and a sharp band-gap property compared to the conventional dumbbell DGS. A detailed analysis of the relationship between the transmission characteristic and the split-ring dimension is made. In order to enhance the out-band suppression, an improved ...

Distributed Generation (DG) is increasing day by day and it has become an important part of electrical generation across the world. Due to the growth of DG penetration, the nature of distribution network is altered from a passive network to an active network. The penetration of DG is beneficial if it is optimally placed. Various models of DGs are developed for optimal placement of DGs, and seve...

Distillers grains with solubles (DGS) is the major coproduct of ethanol production, usually made from corn, which is fed to dairy cattle. It is a good protein (crude protein, CP) source (>30% CP) high in ruminally undegradable protein (approximately 55% of CP) and is a good energy source (net energy for lactation of approximately 2.25 Mcal/kg of dry matter). The intermediate fat concentration (...

Three hundred forty-seven crossbred heifers (330 +/- 11 kg initial BW) were used in a randomized complete block study to identify the optimal level of dried corn distillers grains with solubles (DGS) in flaked corn finishing diets. Fifty-four pens were used, with 9 pens per treatment and 6 to 7 heifers per pen. Finishing diets were steam-flaked corn-based and were fed once daily for 148 d. Diet...

These studies were designed to deteractivities followed different patterns. mine whether colony stimulating factor In particular, CSF peaked and was (CSF) and diffusible granulocytopoietic declining 24 hr following endotoxin at stimulator (DGS) represented a single which time DGS was not yet detectsubstance which stimulates the proable. Then, as serum CSF fell, the DGS duction of granulocytes i...

The discrete Gaussian DL−t,s is the distribution that assigns to each vector x in a shifted lattice L − t probability proportional to e−π‖x‖ 2/s2 . It has long been an important tool in the study of lattices. More recently, algorithms for discrete Gaussian sampling (DGS) have found many applications in computer science. In particular, polynomial-time algorithms for DGS with very high parameters...

OBJECTIVES This study is aimed at developing a set of data groups (DGs) to be employed as reusable building blocks for the construction of the eight most common clinical documents used in China's general hospitals in order to achieve their structural and semantic standardization. METHODS The Diagnostics knowledge framework, the related approaches taken from the Health Level Seven (HL7), the I...

In this paper, a microstrip transmission line combined with a new U-headed dumb-bell defected ground structure (DGS) is investigated. The proposed DGS of two U-shape slots connected by a thin transverse slot is placed in the ground plane of a microstrip line. A finite cutoff frequency and attenuation pole is observed and thus, the equivalent circuit of the DGS unit can be represented by a paral...

A novel design of multiband microstrip antenna array with dumbbell shape defected ground structure (DGS) is presented. The DGS is inserted into the ground plane between the two elements of the antenna array in order to suppress mutual coupling. Both simulation and measurement results verified that the DGS improved the radiation properties of the antenna array. Measurement results of the DGS ant...
