A novel circular micro strip dual band stub loaded antenna is described. The antenna is built with a dielectric constant of (?r =2. 33) with RT/5870 as the substrate material. Due to the effect of stub loading, dual frequency is produced at 1. 88 GHz and 2. 73 GHz respectively for the stub length=17 m. m. With the further increment of stub length, shifting of secondary resonant frequency is pos...

Introduction. Spatially registering SPECT with CT makes it possible to anatomically localize SPECT tracers. In this study, an accurate method for the coregistration of ultra-high-resolution SPECT volumes and multiple cone-beam CT volumes is developed and validated, which does not require markers during animal scanning. Methods. Transferable animal beds were developed with an accurate mounting i...

In this paper, a continuum model based on the nonlocal elasticity theory is developed for vibration analysis of embedded orthotropic circular and elliptical micro/nano-plates. The nano-plate is bounded by a Pasternak foundation. Governing vibration equation of the nonlocal nano-plate is derived using Nonlocal Classical Plate Theory (NCPT). The weighted residual statement and the Galerkin method...

A novel monopole asymmetric fractal micro strip antenna is designed and analyzed in this paper. The proposed Koch fractal monopole antenna is resonating at triband with circular polarization operation. Five diff structures without slot (basic model), single slot (Iteration 1), double slotted (Iteration 2), triple slotted (Iteration 3), and optimized fractal slot (Iteration 4) are studied for ci...

We investigate a two-dimensional micro-scale model for crystal dissolution and precipitation in a porous medium. The model contains a free boundary and allows for changes in the pore volume. Using a level-set formulation of the free boundary, we apply a formal homogenization procedure to obtain upscaled equations. For general micro-scale geometries, the homogenized model that we obtain falls in...

In this article, a novel structure of photonic crystal fiber with nearly zero ultra-flattened chromatic dispersion and ultra-low confinement loss is presented. By replacing the circular air-holes of two first rings with the elliptical air-holes, a fiber with outstanding features of chromatic dispersion and confinement loss is designed. The proposed structure is optimized for operating in a wide...

Different construction materials with different roughness used to make circular weirs highly affect surface roughness and, in turn, flow hydraulics passing over these structures.  In the present research, numerous experiments under different hydraulic conditions were performed on a physical model to study the effects of roughness on flow hydraulics over a circular weir. The flow hydraulics incl...

In this report, we investigate a photonic crystal circular-shaped microcavity (removing seven air holes) sustaining whispering-gallery mode (WGM) by shifting the 12 nearest air holes according to the concept of cavity-shaping in micro-disk and micro-gear lasers. The WGM modal characteristics are investigated by three-dimensional (3D) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. From well-f...

: We study numerically the phonon dispersion relations and corresponding displacement fields for a circular cross-section nanowire superlattices consisting of anisotropic GaN and AlN. We determine a set of parameters which gives complete phononic bandgaps. The results suggest the potential for manipulating phonons in the micro/nano electromechanical systems.
