Context . The Monte Carlo method is probably the most widely used approach to solve radiative transfer problem, especially in a general 3D geometry. physical processes of emission, absorption, and scattering are easily incorporated framework. Net stimulated or absorption with negative cross section, does not fit this method, however. Aims We explore alterations standard photon packet life cycle...

This paper presents a tri-band bandpass filter (BPF) using a novel stub-loaded resonator. Different from other stub-loaded resonator, this resonator utilized a short-ended main transmission line and a centerly-loaded open stub. The resonator is theoretically analyzed. The first three resonant frequencies can be individually adjusted and this enables the convenient designs of tri-band BPFs. For ...

This paper presents a novel spurious suppressed bandpass filter designed with triangular stepped-impedance resonators. The proposed resonators are folded for a triangular schematic, which creates two transmission zeros. By varying the line width of resonators, one of the zeros is tuned to suppress the first and second spurious responses, and the other is used to improve skirt selectivity. The c...

In our main paper in Section 4.1, we show top images for the five discovered topics on the HipsterWars dataset [1] using our method; here, we show the corresponding top images for the StyleNet CNN [3] and attribute clusters. Figure 1a are results for CNN clusters: Goth, Bohemian, and Preppy styles are succesfully discovered; however, there are 2 variants of Goth, one for pants and one for skirt...

This paper presents a micromachined bandpass filter with miniature size that has relatively outstanding performance. A silicon-based eight-order microstrip bandpass filter is fabricated and measured. A novel design method of the interdigital filter that can create two transmission zeros is described. The location of the transmission zeros can be shifted arbitrarily in the stopband. By adjusting...

Treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions represents a challenging area in interventional cardiology. The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES) reduced restenosis in the main branch (MB). However, restenosis at the ostium of the side branch (SB) remains a problem. Although stenting the MB with provisional SB stenting seems to be the prevailing approach, in the era of DES various two-stent t...

Image simulation methods are applied to interpret mirror electron microscopy (MEM) images obtained from a movie of GaAs droplet epitaxy. Cylindrical symmetry of structures grown by droplet epitaxy is assumed in the simulations which reproduce the main features of the experimental MEM image contrast, demonstrating that droplet epitaxy can be studied in real-time. It is therefore confirmed that a...
