recently, time reversal (tr) method, due to its high functionality in heterogeneous media has been widely employed in microwave imaging (mi) applications. one of the applications turning into a great interest is through-wall microwave imaging (twmi). in this paper, tr method is applied to detect and localize a target obscured by a brick wall using a numerically generated data. regarding this, i...

investigation of projectiles penetration phenomenon has been carried out in non-cohesive soil (sand) targets under dry, saturated and compacted conditions. analytical studies have been performed on the linear and non-linear soil models to obtain penetration depth formulae for ogival nose projectile and the results are verified by experimental studies. in present work, three ogival nose projecti...

in quality control charts, the problem of determining the optimum process mean arises when the deviation of a quality characteristic in one direction is more harmful than in the opposite direction. the failure mode in these two directions is usually different. a great majority of researches in this area have considered asymmet-ric cost function for processes with single quality characteristics....

This symposium was held in Trento, Italy, from June 14 to 16, 2007, and was co chaired by William G. Kaelin, Enrico Mihich, and Charles L. Sawyers. A session was devoted to the proof of concept derived from successes in target-oriented therapeutics. Molecular targets must be identified in each patients because they are equally present in all patients with the same tumor type. A session was devo...
