This paper reports a new class of compact inline dual-band bandpass filters using TM-mode dielectric resonators in planar configuration. Thanks to the employment dielectric-loaded waveguide configuration and dual-mode TM120 TM210 resonances, substantial size miniaturization volume saving (>70%) can be obtained comparison with conventional technology. Additionally...

This letter presents the design of a novel dual-mode dual-band bandpass filter that utilises TM210 and TM020 modes cylindrical cavity resonators for millimetre-wave operation when fed with standard WR-10 waveguide ports. In this manner, two selected are demonstrated as single propagation path fixed dual-passband responses without need perturbations or tuning screws. The passbands designated cen...

To investigate the effects of different glossing conventions on vocabulary recognition and recall, 158 participants were given a pre-test to make sure that they did not have any prior knowledge of the target words. Reading passages with four different glossing conventions (interlinear, marginal, pre-text, and post-text) were given to eight groups. Four groups received interlingual glosses and f...

This study was a qualitative exploration of the effect of multiple-choice glosses and periodic second language (L2) text reconstruction on lexical acquisition. L2 readers of German engaged in a think-aloud procedure while reading a short text and retelling its content in German after each of four short sections. In each section, four unfamiliar target words (TWs) were embedded. Half of the part...

The garbage collector presented in this paper makes use of two well known compaction garbage collection algorithms with very diierent performance characteristics: Cheney's two-space copying collector and Jonker's sliding compaction collector. We propose a scheme which allows either collector to be used. The run-time memory requirements of the program being executed are used to determine the mos...

We show that spiral vortices in oscillatory systems can lose stability to secondary modes to form dual-mode spiral vortices. The secondary modes grow at the vortex core where the oscillation amplitude vanishes but are nonlinearly damped by the oscillatory mode away from the core. Gradients of the oscillation phase, induced by the hosted secondary mode, can lead to additional hosting events that...

This paper presents a suite of methods and results for the semantic disambiguation of WordNet glosses. WordNet is a resource widely used in natural language processing and artificial intelligence. Intended and designed as a lexical database, WordNet exhibits some deficiencies when used as a knowledge base. By semantically disambiguating the words in the glosses, we add pointers from each word t...
