article 63 of islamic penal law defines adultery as: “copulation of a man with a woman who is essentially unlawful (ḥarām) to him, although in dubur (back), in cases other than misapprehended consummation.” clause 1 of article 1-221 of the new suggested bill, confirming the content of the above article, has also mentioned: “copulation is effected by the insertion of a male’s sex organ into a fe...

Transmission loss and insertion loss measurements of building materials at audible frequencies are commonly made using plane wave tubes or as a panel between reverberant rooms. These measurements provide information for noise isolation control in architectural acoustics and in product development. Airborne ultrasonic sound transmission through common building materials has not been fully explor...

This work presents a new method for assessing the normal incidence insertion loss (IL) of earplug (EP) by the use of a classical impedance tube. The proposed technique allows for fast and straightforward IL measurements and thus is particularly suitable for earplug testing in a design phase. Indeed, compared to standard ATF measurements, the proposed method does not require cumbersome experimen...

Prediction of accurate values for insertion loss (S21) on printed circuit boards has become ever more critical to SI modeling as signal speeds required for next-generation networking equipment move into the 10+ GHz range. Existing industry-standard insertion loss estimation techniques assume that the copper conductors (PCB traces) are smooth, when in fact they are not. The error thus induced is...

We propose, demonstrate and investigate highly compact circulators with ultra-low insertion loss in square-lattice- square-rod-photonic-crystal waveguides. Only a single magneto- optical square rod is required to be inserted into the cross center of waveguides, making the structure very compact and ultra efficient. The square rods around the center defect rod are replaced by several right-angle...

Acoustic wave detection of various underivatized amino acids that were hydrodynamically introduced into and electrokinetically migrated along a capillary tube has been achieved. The detection principle is based on the measurement of the ultrasonic absorption and density change of the aqueous amino acid samples as they pass by the detection zone. Acoustic wave detection of underivatized leucine ...

Fiber Fabry-Perot (FFP) filters have been widely used in optical fiber communications, and insertion loss (IL) is one of its important characteristics. Based on theoretically analysis, factors related to IL were discussed. In order to investigate the IL of different structures, simulations are carried out with finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm. Comparisons are made between the opti...

This paper describes the design and fabrication of distributed analog phase-shifter circuits. The phase shifters consist of coplanar-waveguide (CPW) lines that are periodically loaded with varactor diodes. The circuits are fabricated on GaAs using standard monolithic processing techniques. The phase velocity on these varactor diode-loaded CPW lines is a function of applied reverse bias, thus re...

A coplanar waveguide (CPW) single-pole double-throw (SPDT) X-band RF MEMS switch that can be actuated between states by applying a single voltage is introduced. Since a signal can be transmitted to one of the output ports without biasing, this has the potential to reduce the complexity of the required biasing network. The switch consists of a series and a shunt capacitive MEMS switch separated ...
