Polar codes, that have been recently introduced by Arikan, are one of the first codes that achieved the capacity for vast numerous channels and they also have low complexity in symmetric memoryless channels. Polar codes are constructed based on a phenomenon called channel polarization. This paper discusses relay channel polarization in order to achieve the capacity and show that if inputs of tw...

AISI 304L austenitic stainless steel with different grain sizes of 0.5 -12 μm was obtained through the martensitic process. Corrosion behavior of different samples was investigated in a 0.5M HCl solution using open circuit potential, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. Also, the correlation between the grain size and pitting corrosion resistance was as...

One of the attractive low activation steels is the austenitic Mn-Cr steel from the view point of waste disposal because of few long-lived nuclides. In this paper, three types of Mn-Cr austenitic steels were fabricated by vacuum induction furnace. Then plates with 10 mm thickness were fabricated by hot-rolling. The physical metallurgy of these steels was studied by the corrected Schaeffler diagr...

In this paper, a new antenna is presented which has an application in cellular telecommunication systems. The designed antenna works at the frequency range of 1900-2600 MHz which is able to cover 2G, 3G and 4G (LTE) services of the cellular telecommunication. In this paper, the micro-strip structure has been used to design the antenna. The shape of the patches is triangular where a peripheral r...

in this paper, the potential of polarimetric sar data using target decomposition features to detect oil pollutions are evaluated. for this purpose, the values of power, phase and magnitude of all of the polarization channels (hh, vv, hv and vh) and decomposition features i.e. freeman, yamaguchi, vanzyl and krogager are computed. then, to detect oil pollutions, different combinations of these fe...

Corrosion resistance of iron can be drastically improved by addition of passivating alloying elements. A supersaturated solid solution of Fe-25at%Sn was produced by mechanical alloying of commercially pure iron and tin powders for 24 hours using a planetary ball mill. Electrochemical measurements were performed on cold compacted unsintered specimens.. XRD investigation on produced alloy showed ...

The inhibitive effect of apricot gum AG on mild steel in 0.5 M phosphoric acid solution was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy EIS, linear polarization resistance and electrochemical noise EN techniques. The inhibition efficiency increased with increasing AG concentration up to a certain value and decreased with increasing temperature. Polarizat...

in this investigation, attempts were directed to study the inhibitive effects of nitrite and phosphate base inhibitors for the carbon steel alloy samples, which are used in an acid gas treatment process (the sulfiran® solution), in fe-edta solution. electrochemical techniques, i.e. polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis), were used to evaluate the inhibition efficie...

in order to present a new and high performance structure of pem fuel cell and study the influence of the flow direction and distribution on the rate of reactants diffusion, three novel models of vertical reactant flow injection into the anode and cathode reaction area field have been introduced. they consist of one inlet and two inlets and also a continuous channel. the governing equations on t...

y-tial intermetallic alloy have a good potential for use as biomaterial, due to its good corrosion resistance. in this paper, two fundamental electrochemical techniques namely electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic anodic polarization were used to evaluate the corrosion performance of g-tial in ringer's solution. surface modification treatments were employed with the pu...
