Novel graphene-based tunable plasmonic metamaterials featuring single and multiple transparency windows are numerically studied in this paper. The designed structures consist of a graphene layer perforated with quadrupole slot structures and dolmen-like slot structures printed on a substrate. Specifically, the graphene-based quadrupole slot structure can realize a single transparency window, wh...

in this research, the frequency of the jet streams associated with extreme and pervasive precipitation has been analyzed using environmental to circulation approach. based on the 99th percentile index, 109 days of the extreme and pervasive precipitation was selected from the irimo data base ( including 33 synoptic, climatic and rain gage stations during 15992 days from farvardin, 1st, 1340 to d...

numerous investigations have been devoted towards understanding the hydrodynamics of gas jets in fluidized beds. however, most of them address the problem from  macroscopic point of view, which does not reveal the true behavior in the jet region at the single particle level. the present work aims to understand the jet behavior from a more fundamental level, i.e. the individual particle level. a...

OBJECTIVE The coefficients of friction (COFs) of aesthetic ceramic and stainless steel brackets used in conjunction with stainless steel archwires were investigated using a modified linear tribometer and special computer software, and the effects of the bracket slot size (0.018 inches [in] or 0.022 in) and materials (ceramic or metal) on the COF were determined. METHODS Four types of ceramic ...

A plane subsonic jet was subjected to periodic oscillations in the near nozzle region by a twin vane system. During excitation, the jet was found to spread significantly and entrain mass much more than its steady counterpart. Time averaged static pressure measured in the flow field with a disc probe exhibited prominent well defined suction regions different from that of a steady jet.

In this paper a wideband dual polarized antenna is designed, manufactured and measured. Slot coupled patch antenna structure is considered in order to achieve the wideband characteristic. Although rectangular shaped slot coupled patch antennas are widely used in most of the applications, their utilization in dual polarized antenna structures is not feasible due to space limitation. For a rectan...

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