this paper presents a low-cost compact planar microstrip-fed monopole antenna and its four-element array design for ultra-wideband (uwb) wireless communication and target detection applications, respectively, operating in the frequency span of 3 ghz to 11 ghz. a prototype was fabricated and then measured based on optimal parameters. the results of reflection coefficient (s11) and radiation patt...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a method to evaluate the relative efficiency of decision making units (dmus). in this method, the issue has always been to determine a set of weights for each dmu which often caused many problems. since the dea models also have the multi-objective linear programming (molp) problems nature, a rational relationship can be established between molp and dea problem...

the study of interactions of jet into cross flow at different longitudinal and transverse angles ofjet was studied. the following components were designed and constructed: a low velocity windtunnel to produce the uniform flow, a flat plate with a traverse injection system to simulate the jetinjection, and a spatial rake to measure the total pressure. the tests were carried out atlongitudinal (α...

Although it is well known that cross correlation can be efficiently implemented in the transform domain, the normalized form of cross correlation preferred for feature matching applications does not have a simple frequency domain expression. Normalized cross correlation has been computed in the spatial domain for this reason. This short paper shows that unnormalized cross correlation can be eff...

Cross linking of high density polyethylene (HDPE) was first performed via high energy10 Mev electron beam (EB) irradiation. HDPE was also cross linked withDicumyle peroxide (DCP).The gel content of samples was determined by solvent extraction.Degree of cross linking was evaluated by hot set apparatus; as well .In order to clarify the effectof nature of cross linking, correlation of electrical p...

Nowadays, one of the major goals of the distribution environment is to reduce lead times and inventories. Cross-docking is a logistics technique which removes the storage and picking up the functions of a warehouse. The term cross-docking refers to moving products directly from incoming to outgoing trailers with little or no storage in between. According to the recent related papers, the truck ...

AbstractIn the last step of desolvation method for preparation of albumin nanoparticles, glutaraldehyde (GA) is added to stabilize the newly formed nanoparticles. Due to undesirable effects of GA, the objective of this study was to evaluate alternative methods of crosslinking including ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, adding of glucose and combination of both methods. The nanoparticles were prepar...

The catalytic acvtivity of dimeric and monomeric ortho-palladated complexes [Pd{C6H2(CH2NH2-(OMe)2,3,4}(µ-Cl)]2)2) and [Pd{C6H2(CH2NH2-(OMe)2,3,4}Cl(PPh3)](3), was investigated in Heck cross-coupling reaction. These complexes are more active and efficient catalysts for Heck cross-coupling reaction. The palladium complexes 2 and 3 is employed in the Heck cross-coupling reaction between styrene a...
