In this paper, optimization of the sound transmission loss of finite rectangular anisotropic laminated composite plate with simply supported boundary conditions has been developed to maximize transmission loss. Appropriate constraints were imposed to prevent the occurrence of softening effect due to optimization. For this purpose, optimization process was incorporated into comprehensive finite ...

In this paper, a compact high-pass filter (HPF) with a sharp rejection response based on the balanced composite right-left handed (CRLH) transmission line (TL) concept is proposed. A series LC resonator using an interdigital capacitor and meander lines is designed. Also, a meander spiral complementary split ring resonator (MSCSRR) is used to realize the parallel LC resonator. The high-pass filt...

Lactate and ethanol (EtOH) were determined in cell culture medium (CCM) of immortalized hippocampal neurons (HN9.10e cell line) before and after incubation with Thallium (Tl). This cell line is a reliable, in vitro model of one of the most vulnerable regions of central nervous system. Cells were incubated for 48 h with three different single Tl doses: 1, 10, 100 μg/L (corresponding to 4.9, 49 a...

A novel triple-band single-fed compact microstrip antenna with varied polarization states and radiation patterns is proposed based on two-dimensional artificial metamaterial transmission line (TL). The TL element is composed of complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) etched in the ground plane and a capacitive gap embedded in the stepped-impedance conductor line. By inserting a 2 × 2 array ...

This paper proposes a radio frequency (RF) rectifier topology for low-power wireless power transmission (WPT) applications in the X band. The consists of biased PMOS pair and is matched to RF signal source impedance using PCB line (TL) matching network. It demonstrated that clever optimization bias voltage enables achieve greater sensitivity efficiency than previous works at was designed 45 nm ...

BACKGROUND All international guidelines suggested that Tenofovir and Entecavir are the primary drugs at the first line therapy for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). However, in Turkey these medications reimbursed at the second line therapy according to the Healthcare Implementation Notification. The aim of this study is to compare the cost effectiveness of oral antiviral treatment str...

A principle and design procedure of differential phase shifters and baluns with a specified bandwidth is given. Phase shifters and baluns proposed here comprise of two transmission lines(TL), one is conventional while the other is CRLH-TL. The operating frequency is properly chosen as to obtain a maximum bandwidth. The bandwidth is related to number of unit cells comprising CRLH-TL.A Wilkinson ...

Abstract—In this paper, the specific sound Transmission Loss (TL) of the Laminated Composite Plate (LCP) with different material properties in each layer is investigated. The numerical method to obtain the TL of the LCP is proposed by using elastic plate theory. The transfer matrix approach is novelty presented for computational efficiency in solving the numerous layers of dynamic stiffness mat...

Barium titanate/epoxy resin composites have been synthesized and tested for microwave absorption/ transmission. Nanocrystalline barium titanate (BaTiO3 or BT) was synthesized by the hydrothermal method and the composites of BT/epoxy resin were fabricated as thin solid slabs of four different weight ratios. BTwas obtained in the cubic phase with an average particle size of 21 nm, deduced from th...

Geoacoustic inversion estimates environmental parameters from measured acoustic fields (e.g., received on a towed array). The inversion results have some uncertainty due to noise in the data and modeling errors. Based on the posterior probability density of environmental parameters obtained from inversion, a statistical estimation of transmission loss (TL) can be performed and a credibility lev...
