As the new Editor-in-Chief of the Journal, I am pleased to recognize my predecessor, David van Essen, for the tremendous job he has done in leading the Journal through one of its greatest periods of growth and for seeing the Rapid Communications project through from start to finish. It is also a pleasure to recognize Michael Gazzaniga, who brought forward the idea for all electronic publication...

This paper reports recent developments in the ‘THz Torch’ technology, for short-range wireless data transfer. The ultra-low cost ‘THz Torch’ concept was recently introduced as an ultra-secure non-contacting technology in the physical layer. Previous results reported a 10 bits/s link over a single channel, across a distance of 1 cm. In this paper, some fundamental limitations of this technology ...

A new inductively coupled plasma (ICP) torch with an air-cooling system has been designed and developed for both argon and helium plasma. The same torch and impedance-matching network could be used to generate stable Ar- and He-ICP. The torch consists of three concentric quartz tubes. The carrier gas, plasma gas, and cooling gas flow through the intervals between each tube. In an experiment, it...

BACKGROUND The acute infections which are caused by Toxoplasma gondii, Rubella virus, Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-2) during pregnancy are often associated with adverse foetal outcomes and reproductive failures. In the Indian context, the exact seroprevalence of these infections is not known due to unavailability of baseline data. AIMS The present study was undertak...

Class of 2006 Electrical Engineering How do people in power use history to shape current policy? How does current policy influence conceptions of history? Examining these questions, this paper addresses how British imperialists during the late 19th and early 20th centuries redefined their ideas about the classical Roman Empire to fit their (imperialist) ideologies, and how British imperial poli...

This pilot case-control study at a tertiary-care hospital over a four-month period was aimed at evaluating the possible usefulness of screening of TORCH (Toxoplasma gondii, rubella virus, cytomegalovirus, and Herpes simplex virus) in females with bad obstetric history. The study included 12 women with bad obstetric history and a similar number of matched controls with previous normal pregnancie...

The dynamics of the electric arc inside a direct current non-transferred arc plasma torch are simulated using a three-dimensional, transient, equilibrium model. The fluid and electromagnetic equations are solved numerically in a fully coupled approach by a multiscale finite element method. Simulations of a torch operating with argon and argon-hydrogen under different operating conditions are pr...
