this paper proposes a new smart antenna beamforming scheme based on electronically steerable parasitic array radiator (espar). the proposed method is capable of providing better capacity compared to the conventional espar. the termination of each antenna element in this structure comprises a pin diode in addition to a varactor. using pin diode besides the varactor provides more degrees of freed...

In the present work, FGM shells integrated with magnetostrictive layers acting as distributed sensors and actuators are modeled to control vibration attenuation of FGM shells with simply supported boundaryconditions. To achieve a mechanism for actively control of the oscillation amplitude of the integrated structure, a negative velocity proportional feedback control law is implemented in the st...

The present investigation was undertaken to evaluate the effect of antihypertensive drugs on aortic atherogenesis in hypercholesterolemic rabbits. In enalapril and nifedipine treated rabbits aortic atherosclerotic plaque involvement was significantly decreased (p<0. Oland p<O. 05, respectively) as compared to the control group. However, in hydrochlorothiazide treated rabbits aortic atheroge...
