An isolation enhanced dual polarized microstrip patch antenna has been designed for Sband Synthetic Aperture Radar. This antenna operates at 3.125 GHz with operating bandwidth of 150 MHz or 4.8%. The electromagnetic power is coupled from the feed line to radiating patch through proximity coupling feeding technique for better bandwidth achievement. A centre groundshorted microstrip line is creat...

The spatial and temporal characteristics and driving factors analysis of regional land use are the core scientific problems in the research of ecological environment and human sustainable development. It is also an important basis for the government to formulate land management policy. Based on the land use maps of 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015, this article analyzed the spatiotemporal pattern of l...

Unknown to the United States three decades ago, Lyme disease is now the most prevalent vectorborne disease in the country. Caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, Lyme disease is typically transmitted to humans by the bite of a blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis) in the nymph stage. For this reason the density of infected nymphs is considered the most precise ecological indicator of Lyme...

In this paper, we propose a new compact quasi-fractal shaped microstrip antenna that consists of a hexagonal patch as the main radiator and a complementary stacked patch as the parasitic element. The overall surface of the proposed quasi-fractal patch is about 55% lower than the conventional hexagonal patch. Using of stacked technique, the gain reduction of compression technique is almost compe...

Forest communities are mosaic systems composed of patches classified into four different developmental patch types: gap patch (G), building patch (B), mature patch (M) and degenerate patch (D). To study the mechanisms maintaining diversity in subalpine coniferous forests, species presence frequency and diversity in the four distinct patch types (G, B, M and D) of Larix chinensis conifer forests...

as special depositional environments which are adjacent to the seas, deltas have provided a field for human habitat establishment. geomorphic features of deltas are in constant transformation due to their dynamic features. constructing dams on rivers can intensify these changes and cause either negative or positive consequences. minab delta in hormozgan province of iran is a round or crescent-s...
