To evaluate the earth seismic response due to earthquake effects, ground response analyses are used to predict ground surface motions for development of design response spectra, to compute dynamic stresses and strains for evaluation of liquefaction hazards, and to determine the earthquake induced forces that can lead to instability of earth and earth-retaining structures. Most of the analytical...

Ground-based lidars are suitable for long-term ozone monitoring as a complement to satellite and ozonesonde measurements. However, current ground-based lidars are unable to consistently measure ozone below 500 m above ground level (AGL) due to both engineering issues and high retrieval sensitivity to various measurement errors. In this paper, we present our instrument design, retrieval techniqu...

Planar structures are often used in the construction of different equipment due to their many advantages like reducing the magnetic profiles, lower leakage inductance, lower HF losses in the windings and improving thermal management. One of the greatest disadvantages is the presence of the equivalent parasitic capacitance (EPC) which is also present in our area of interest, EMI filters. In prev...
