Microelectromechanical Maltese-cross metamaterial with tunable terahertz anisotropy

Dichroic polarizers and waveplates exploiting anisotropic materials have vast applications in displays and numerous optical components, such as filters, beamsplitters and isolators. Artificial anisotropic media were recently suggested for the realization of negative refraction, cloaking, hyperlenses, and controlling luminescence. However, extending these applications into the terahertz domain i...

Multimedia Conference over Satellite

Multimedia conference is one of the important applications in the Internet. To support such an application over satellite networks, one has to address quality of service (QoS) and performance of IP applications over satellite. Research has been carried to study how satellite networks can support efficiently the IP based multimedia applications including voice, video and data and impacts of sate...

Relativisation in Maltese

This paper provides a comprehensive description of relative clause structures in standard Maltese, which is a mixed language belonging to the South Arabic branch of Central Semitic, with a Maghrebi/Siculo-Arabic stratum, a Romance (Sicilian, Italian) superstratum and an English adstratum. Where relevant, we draw attention to divergences between standard and dialectal Maltese. We provide detaile...

Pirates stole this priceless token and the fate of the Maltese Falcon remains a mystery, still invoked by films and novels. Our story begins more than 150 years ago when John Hughes Bennett in Edinburgh and Rudolf Virchow in Berlin described, at autopsies, enlarged spleens in me...
