A low cost, dual band antenna has been proposed and studied in this paper. The antenna consists of two elementsa T-shaped element and an F-shaped element. A microstrip feed line with a characteristic impedance of 50? has been used to feed the T-element which is responsible for the generation of the higher band of operation. The F-element is placed on the other side of the dielectric and is coup...

Plant proteins are plausible fishmeal substitutes but are deficient in some essential amino acids (EAA) like lysine and methionine. Combination of different plant proteins with complimentary EAA could be useful alternative. Bambaranut (Voandzeia subterranea) contains high amount of lysine while methionine is in sesame seed (Sesamum indicum). This experiment tested effects of combining sesame se...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of barley green fodder produced by hydroponics system on the performance of feedlot calves. in a completely block randomized experiment, 24 cross bred (holstein×local) male calves were assigned randomly to one of the two treatments (diets) that were either control (grain barley) or hydroponic barley green fodder (bgf) that was included to...

This paper is to demonstrate the potential and realizability of a high-performance waveguide slot antenna. A double-layer slotted waveguide array with a partially corporate feed circuit installed in the bottom layer is proposed and designed in 38GHz band to realize broadband characteristics. For the antenna realization, a diffusion bonding of laminated thin plates is introduced as the fabricati...

This paper discusses aspect of digestion estimate in amino acids and nitrogen of feed for pigs. It has been highlighted that low utilization of protein does not only being a high cost to the pig industry, but also results in an environmental hazard. In formulation of diets for pigs, it is necessary to pay attention to the profile and character of feed protein. It is well understood that before ...

Splashplate feeds, e.g. [1], are increasingly used for high performance parabolic antennas. The feed is directly interfaced in the focus of the antenna by a straight circular waveguide through the antenna vertex which simultaneously acts as feed support. At the far side of the waveguide, the need of a circularto-rectangular waveguide transition is obvious to overcome proper interfacing with sta...
