A wide band, integrated linear printed antenna array with low sidelobe cosecant square-shaped beam pattern is presented. Array synthesis mainly about the wide shaped coverage, low ripple and sidelobe level (SLL) has been done using the modified least square method by matrix inversion. A printed dipole integrated with wideband balun has been chosen as the array element for wide bandwidth and goo...

An important study of the responses to the point target and the distributed target of the radar echoes processed by a neural network pulse compression (NNPC) algorithm is presented in this paper. For whatever the purpose of a radar system, both of the point target and distributed target echoes are received simultaneously. It is always necessary and helpful to discriminate them clearly while det...

In this paper, we design tapers for the periodogram in the case of nonuniformly sampled data. We consider both data independent and data dependent taper designs. In the data independent design case, we derive tapers by minimizing either the integrated sidelobe level or the peak sidelobe level of the spectral window. In the data dependent case, we extend the design by allowing the tapers to be c...

Islet-1 (Isl-1) is essential for the survival and ensuing differentiation of pancreatic endocrine progenitors. Isl-1 remains expressed in all adult pancreatic endocrine lineages; however, its specific function in the postnatal pancreas is unclear. Here we determine whether Isl-1 plays a distinct role in the postnatal β-cell by performing physiological and morphometric analyses of a tamoxifen-in...

The Lin-11, Isl-1, and Mec-3 (LIM) homeodomain transcription factor Isl-1 has been reported to be involved in pituitary development in the early stages of mouse embryogenesis. Our recent studies have shown that Isl-1 is mainly located in the pituitary gonadotropes throughout pituitary development and persists to adulthood. We still do not know the physiological functions of Isl-1 expression and...

A current controversy in the area of implicit statistical learning (ISL) is whether this process consists of a single, central mechanism or multiple modality-specific ones. To provide insight into this question, the current study involved three ISL experiments to explore whether multimodal input sources are processed separately in each modality or are integrated together across modalities. In E...

A method is presented which optimizes weights of general planar 1D and 2D symmetric full and sparse arrays. The objective is to nd a weighting of the array elements which gives the minimum sidelobe level of the array pattern in a speci ed region the stopband. The sidelobe level is controlled on a discrete set of points from this region. The method minimizes the Chebyshev norm of the sidelobe le...

Imbalances in intestinal bacteria correlate with colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC). Traditional Chinese medicines have been used to adjust the gut microbiota, and isoliquiritigenin (ISL), a flavonoid extracted from licorice, has shown antitumor efficacy. In this study, the effects of ISL on CAC development and the gut microbiota were evaluated using an azoxymethane and dextran sulphate...

High sidelobe level is a major disadvantage of the Capon beamforming. To suppress the sidelobe, this paper introduces a mainlobe to sidelobe power ratio constraint to the Capon beamforming. it minimizes the sidelobe power while keeping the mainlobe power constant. Simulations show that the obtained beamformer outperforms the Capon beamformer. Index Terms array signal proccessing, Capon beamform...

Phase Perturbation Method (PPM) is introduced as a new phase-only synthesis method to design reflectarray antennas so as their sidelobe level is reduced. In this method, only the reflected phase of conventional unit cells are perturbed from their required values. To this end, two approaches namely the conventional Optimization method and newly introduced Phase to Amplitude Approximation (PAA) m...
