a new hybrid modal-moment method is proposed to calculate fields penetrated through small apertures on rectangular metallic enclosures. first, the method of moments is used to numerically solve the governing electric field integral equation for the equivalent two-dimensional surface-current distributions on the surface of metallic enclosure including any number of rectangular apertures of arbit...

The goal of this study is a comprehensive examination of openings discovered on two skulls in the collection of skeletal remains from the Loyalty Islands (Melanesia). The skull No. 1524 displayed an evidence of successful trepanation, and the skull No. 7985 revealed openings that were reminiscent of a trepanation, however, we are inclined to believe that in the latter case we are dealing with a...

Based on a newly developed size-dependent cohesive energy formula for two-dimensional materials, a unified theoretical model was established to illustrate the gap openings in disordered graphene flakes, involving quantum dots, nanoribbons and nanoporous sheets. It tells us that the openings are essentially dominated by the variation in cohesive energy of C atoms, associated to the edge physicoc...

In this paper, an approach to the shielding effectiveness evaluation of a metallic enclosure with apertures is discussed. It has been previously shown that a simple analytical transmission line formulation gives good predictions of the shielding effectiveness of a metallic enclosure with apertures. In this work the model is extended to include the fundamental formulas to deal with the cases of ...

Large structuring elements are used in many morphological transformations. They are needed when computing size distributions, in filtering operators (and especially in alternate sequential filters), for regularised gradients and large top-hat transforms, for residual operators (skeletons by openings, critical balls, ultimate openings and so on). Moreover, in some applications, images are large ...

The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship among the point of greatest depression on the root trifurcation floor and the furcation openings of the maxillary second molars. Sixty human extracted upper permanent second molars were analyzed and the furcation area were measured using a vertical calliper, and the values regarding the point of deepest depression were recorded. The results ...
