This article presents an analysis of metamaterial resonators coupled with microstrip transmission line. The behavior of complementary electric-LC resonators loaded on a microstrip line is analyzed using the equivalent circuit model. In this paper, it is shown that a special type of these resonators show a dual-mode behavior when excited through the electromagnetic field around the microstrip tr...

BACKGROUND Liposomal-based gadolinium (Gd) nanoparticles have elicited significant interest for use as blood pool and molecular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. Previous generations of liposomal MR agents contained gadolinium-chelates either within the interior of liposomes (core-encapsulated gadolinium liposomes) or presented on the surface of liposomes (surface-conjugated gad...

We proposed a new secure oblivious transfer protocol from indistinguishability obfuscation in this paper. Our main technical tool is the candidate indistinguishability obfuscation introduced in [1] and a dual-mode cryptosystem proposed in [2]. Following their steps, we presents a new k-out-of-l oblivious transfer protocol, its realization from DDH is described in this paper, in which we combine...

This letter presents a miniaturized dual-mode compositeright/left-handed line resonator with wide harmonic suppression. The pure right-handed microstrip transmission line adopt 36◦ electrical length instead of 90◦, thus the size of the dual-mode filter can be reduced significantly meanwhile the spurious response suppression are improved effectively. A prototype filter is designed and implemente...

A new miniaturized dual-mode microstrip bandpass filter is presented. The filter structure has been fractally generated based on the 4th iteration Minkowski-like pre-fractal geometry, using the conventional dual-mode square ring resonator as the initiator in the fractal generation process. It has been found that the presented filter possesses a size reduction of about 88% as compared with the d...

A successive approximation register (SAR) analog-todigital converter (ADC) with an integrating resolution booster (IRB) is proposed and experimentally verified to provide the capability of dual-mode operation, that is, low-power and high-resolution modes. This dual-mode architecture corresponds to a kind of hybrid ADC architecture, combining a low-power SAR ADC and a high-resolution integrating...

A single, free-running, dual-wavelength mode-locked, erbium-doped fibre laser was exploited to measure the absolute frequency of continuous-wave terahertz (CW-THz) radiation in real time using dual THz combs of photo-carriers (dual PC-THz combs). Two independent mode-locked laser beams with different wavelengths and different repetition frequencies were generated from this laser and were used t...

one of the challenges of academic writing is the creation of a structurally and communicatively well-organized and coherent text. metadiscourse enables authors of journal articles to achieve this goal by raising the writers‘ awareness about discourse features which can contribute to a better academic content production. also, l1 background has always been a hot topic in applied linguistics and ...
