This project is intended to build a microstrip low pass filter with a pass band till 3 GHz at 3 dB cutoff frequency. This project is divided into two stages. In the first stage, a conventional seven pole low pass filter using commensurate length 8 / g λ is designed by converting the value of g1 to g7 into unit elements as well as open circuit stubs. In second stage, a method to design low pass ...

Several mushroom species have been pointed out as sources of antioxidant compounds, in addition to their important nutritional value. Agaricus blazei and Lentinus edodes are among the most studied species all over the world, but those studies focused on their fruiting bodies instead of other presentations, such as powdered preparations, used as supplements. In the present work the chemical comp...

In this paper, we investigate efficient approaches and algorithms for protecting multicast sessions against any single link failure while establishing multicast sessions in WDM mesh networks. Since a single failure may affect whole nodes in a multicast group and causes severe service disruption and a lot of traffic loss, protecting critical multicast sessions against link failure such as fiber ...

Epochs present in the voiced speech are defined as time instants of significant excitation of the vocal tract system during the production of speech. Nonstationary nature of excitation source and vocal tract system makes accurate identification of epochs a difficult task. Most of the existing methods for epoch detection require prior knowledge of voiced regions and a rough estimation of pitch f...

This paper introduces a novel algorithm for designing low-pass filter (LPF) and microstrip Wilkinson power divider (WPD) using neural network surrogate model. The proposed is applicable to various microwave devices, enhancing their performance frequency response. Desirable output parameters can be achieved the designed LPF WPD by algorithm. artificial (ANN) model employed calculate dimensions o...

In renewable microgrid systems, energy storage system (ESS) plays an important role, as buffer, to stabilize the by compensating demand-generation mismatch. Battery serves a decisive and critical component. However, due low power density consequently slow dynamic response lifetime of BESS is observably reduced high current stress, specifically experienced during abrupt/transient variations. Hen...

The purpose of this study was to examine motivational constructs and the effect of physical activity engagement on health behaviors in college students who were required to take a 15-week lifetime physical fitness (LPF) course for graduation. A total of fifty-eight first and second year college students aged between 17 and 23 years (M=18.72; SD=1.09). Paper and pencil questionnaires were anonym...

A slotted-ground-plane meandered-slot resonator with multi-resonance characteristics and a compact lowpass filter (LPF) by using the resonator are demonstrated in this paper. The meandered slot provides a wideband resonator with low insertion loss and very sharp cutoff frequency response. Unlike conventional design of cascading bandstop slotted-ground-plane resonators in the literature, the int...

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) strains are causative agents of diarrhea and hemorrhagic colitis, both diseases associated with intestinal inflammation and cell damage. Several studies have correlated EHEC virulence factors to high levels of intestinal pro-inflammatory cytokines and we have previously described that the Long polar fimbriae (Lpf) is involved in the secretion of interle...
