This paper investigates the transmission properties of a normally incident transverse magnetic (TM) wave through a single subwavelength metallic cross-slit (a vertical slit modified by a horizontal cut at the center of the slit). The results show that, as the horizontal cut length increases, the odd modes of the extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) of the slit exhibit an apparent red shift ...

Because offshore wind turbines are high-rise structures, they transfer large horizontal loads and moments to their foundations. One of the keys to designing a foundation is determining the sensitivities and laws affecting its load-bearing capacity. In this study, this procedure was carried out for a new high-rise cap pile group foundation adapted to the loading characteristics of offshore wind ...

OBJECTIVES Controlling hospital high length of stay outliers can provide significant benefits to hospital management resources and lead to cost reduction. The strongest predictive factors influencing high length of stay outliers should be identified to build a high-performance prediction model for hospital outliers. METHODS We highlight the application of the hierarchical genetic algorithm to...
