here, we propose an optical filter and an optical power splitter based on two-dimensionalphotonic crystal all circular ring resonators. these structures are made of a square lattice ofsilicon rods with the refractive index n1=3.464 surrounded by air (with refractive indexn2=1). first, we have designed the filter and by using that, we designed a power splitter. thetransmission efficiency and qua...

Advanced data encryption requires the use of true random number generators (TRNGs) to produce unpredictable sequences bits. TRNG circuits with high degree randomness and low power consumption may be fabricated by using telegraph noise (RTN) current signals produced polarized metal/insulator/metal (MIM) devices as entropy source. However, RTN MIM made traditional insulators, i.e., transition met...

reflection and refraction of em signals at both horizontal and vertical interfaces separate media of different electrical parameters, geoelectromagnetic methods have been developed and employed to recognize the geological features and particularly fault zones in many regions. to achieve higher lateral resolution and also greater depth penetration, the mt method is one of the most effective elec...

Background The aim of this study was the ex vivo expansion of Umbilical Cord Blood hematopoietic stem cells on biocompatible nanofiber scaffolds. Materials and Methods CD133+ hematopoietic stem cells were separated from umbilical cord blood using MidiMacs (positive selection) system by means of monocolonal antibody CD133 (microbeads) subsequently, flowcytometry method was done to asses...

Structural system identification using recursive methods has been a research direction of increasing interest in recent decades. The two prominent methods, including the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and the Particle Filter (PF), also known as the Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC), are advantageous in this field. In this study, the system identification of a shake table test of a 4-story steel struct...

Introduction: Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is one of the possible complications of radiotherapy treatment of brain tumors. The auditory system of patients with brain tumors often is placed inside of radiation field and receives a significant amount of radiation dose resulting in hearing loss. The purpose of this study was to compare contouring and delivery dose to cochlea...
