In the past years, network theory has successfully characterized the interaction among the constituents of a variety of complex systems, ranging from biological to technological, and social systems. However, up until recently, attention was almost exclusively given to networks in which all components were treated on equivalent footing, while neglecting all the extra information about the tempor...

This paper presents the parametric optimization of Symmetric Toggle RF MEMS Switch (STS), particularly for reduction of overall dimensions and improvement in isolation and insertion loss. The variations in device topology, especially the connecting lever length demonstrates a significant change in resonance frequency and overall device dimensions. The impact of multilayer metal structures used ...

Prussian blue (PB) was deposited on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) in an aqueous solution. Multi-layer composites of the MWCNT-PB hybride material were obtained by layer-by-layer assembly with poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA). The resulting {PDDA/MWCNT-PB}(n) multilayer films immoblized on glassy carbon electrodes showed sensitive detection for the reduction of hydrogen pero...

The Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) model is studied in multilayer networks with arbitrary number of links across the layers. By following the mapping to bond percolation we give the exact expression for the epidemic threshold and the fraction of the infected individuals in arbitrary number of layers. The case of a multilayer network formed by two interconnected networks is specifically st...

This research work presents an understanding of structure-property relationship in uniaxially oriented multilayer polypropylene (PP) film/foams. Multilayer PP film/foams having 16 layers have been produced by using a unique coextrusion and multiplication technique. A post-uniaxial drawing process at a certain temperature has been carried out to orient the multilayer film/foams in extrusion dire...

The transmission properties in microwave domains (10 GHz to 40 GHz) of generalized dielectric Fibonacci multilayer generated by the rule : with a pair of positive integers m and n were studied. The initial generations of generalized Fibonacci sequence are taken as follows: S0 = L and S1 = H, where H and L are two elementary layers with refractive indices nL = 1 (air) and nH = 3 (ceramic). The s...

We propose that high efficient terahertz (THz) multilayer structures are composed of ‎DSTMS/SiO2 and OH1/SiO2 at 3 and 6THz frequencies. We show that the efficiencies of these ‎structures are higher than DAST/SiO2 structure in both of 3 and 6THz frequencies. OH1/SiO2 ‎structure at 6THz has an efficiency as large as 10-1; at 3THz frequency, DSTMS/SiO2 structure ‎has an efficiency as large as 10-...

The range and stability of structural colors generated by Morpho-inspired color reflectors are investigated. We find that despite the internal randomness of such structures that gives rise to their Morpho-like angle-independent iridescence, their colors under ambient lighting condition can be predicted by simple transfer-matrix calculations of corresponding planar multilayer structures. By calc...
