An outstanding square slot element, for x-band wireless applications with asymmetric coplanar waveguide fed (CPW) is proposed. Various shapes of metallic strips are utilized as grounded stubs for providing Right Hand Circular Polarization (RHCP) functionality and wide-band properties. By adjusting the proposed stubs and hook-shaped radiator, length and positions, wider impedance band width is o...

â  background treatment of hemorrhoid disease is one of the most challenging fields in general surgery in which different methods are used to treat this condition. in this study, we compared the manometric and clinical results of three treatment methods for hemorrhoids. me t hod s a total of 150 patients with symptomatic grades ii or iii internal hemorrhoids were randomly assigned to three grou...

conclusions bosworth screw and tension band wiring are both useful procedures in patients with acj dislocation, but each should be used in the selected patients with special indications. both methods had good results during follow-up period. there was not statistically meaningful difference in the articular stability, range of motion, oss score and vast score between the two groups (p > 0.05). ...

two different methods of bayesian segmentation algorithm were used with different band combinations. sequential maximum a posteriori (smap) is a bayesian image segmentation algorithm which unlike the traditional maximum likelihood (ml) classification attempts to improve accuracy by taking contextual information into account, rather than classifying pixels separately. landsat 7 etm+ data with pa...

by means of first principles calculations we show that both rutile and anatase phases of bulk tio2 doped by s, se or pb can display substantial decreasing in the band gap (up to 50%), while doping by zr does not sizably affect the band-gap value. moreover, the absorption edge is shifted (up to 1 ev) to the lower energy range in the case of tio2 doped by s or pb that opens a way to enhancing of ...

background and aims. this in vitro study was designed to compare enamel demineralization depths adjacent to bands cemented with zinc polycarboxylate, glass ionomer (gi) and resin-modified glass ionomer (rmgi), in order to achieve minimal enamel demineralization during orthodontic treatment. materials and methods. sixty fully developed extracted third molars were randomly divided into three test...
