One of transient phenomenon that causes the mal-operation of the power transformer differential protection during the energization of a loaded power transformer is the ultra-saturation phenomenon. In this paper, a new model for investigating the ultra-saturation phenomenon during the energization of a loaded power transformer is presented and its effect on the differential protection of the pow...

Following a previous study that revealed the disobedience of Ultra-Orthodox citizens, as compared to secular citizens, of traffic lights at crosswalks, the present study examined the road habits of 995 Ultra-Orthodox and secular pedestrians in neighboring Ultra-Orthodox and secular cities. Using an observation grid designed specially for this study, the pedestrians were observed at two crosswal...

in the present work, a titanium-based ziegler-natta catalyst was employed to synthesize ultra molecular weight polyethylene in a slurry medium. the effect of different parameters such as ethylene pressure, temperature, catalyst composition, and hydrogen pressure was studied. as the results indicate, increasing either [al]/[ti] ratio or temperature causes polymerization rate to go through a maxi...

Ultra wideband (UWB) radio is a new wireless technology that uses sub-nanosecond pulses to transmit information, resulting in a bandwidth greater than 1 GHz. The problem of synchronizing a receiver with the incoming signal grows in complexity as the signal bandwidth increases. This paper addresses coarse synchronization in UWB receivers. It analyzes how the design of the correlation process aff...

In this paper, we propose a distance estimation scheme for radar systems using direct sequence ultra wideband (DS-UWB) signals. The proposed distance estimation scheme averages out the noise by accumulating the correlator outputs of the radar, and thus, helps the radar to employ a short-length DS-UWB signal reducing the correlation processing time. Numerical results confirm that the proposed di...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Radiation dose in temporal bone CT imaging can be high due to the requirement of high spatial resolution. In this study, we assessed whether CT imaging of the temporal bone by using an ultra-high-resolution scan mode combined with iterative reconstruction provides higher spatial resolution and lower image noise than a z-axis ultra-high-resolution mode. MATERIALS AND MET...

A novel ultra-broadband printed monopole antenna with 10 dB return loss bandwidth from 2.1-21.5GHz is proposed. This printed monopole antenna is constructed using cross-slotted modified circular patch with etched ground plane. This UWB printed monopole antenna is microstrip-fed with a triangular tapered input line for broadband matching.

We propose the use of cooperative communication among single-antenna users to enhance the performance of ultrawideband networks. We consider the amplify-and-forward cooperative protocol in the multiband OFDM setting using practical channel measurements.
