In this study, a core/shell bi-layered calcium phosphate cement (CPC)-based composite scaffold with adjustable compressive strength, which mimicked the structure of natural cortical/cancellous bone, was fabricated. The dense tubular CPC shell was prepared by isostatic pressing CPC powder with a specially designed mould. A porous CPC core with unidirectional lamellar pore structure was fabricate...

This document describes a set of Extension Headers for the Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE), RFC 4326. The Extension Header formats specified in this document define extensions appropriate to both ULE and the Generic Stream Encapsulation (GSE) for the second-generation framing structure defined by the Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) family of specifications.

We theoretically demonstrate direction-dependent polarization conversion efficiency, yielding unidirectional light transmission, through a two-layer nanostructure by using the angular spectrum representation of optical near-fields. The direction-dependent efficiency is characterized based on the momentum of near-field light, which is much larger than that of propagating light. The theory provid...

In the present investigation, various kinds of textures, namely, unidirectional, 8-ground, and random were attained on the die surfaces. Roughness of the textures was varied using different grits of emery papers or polishing powders. Then pins made of Al-4Mg alloys were slid against steel plates at various numbers of cycles, namely, 1, 3, 5, 10 and 20 using pin-on-plate reciprocating sliding te...

The fluid motion generated adjacent to an infinite flat plate undergoing orbital motion in its own plane is a generalization of the classical Stokes-layer profile. We show that the stabilities of these flows can be related to each other via two transformations directly analogous to the well-known Squire transformation. The main result obtained is that, in general, the two-dimensional Stokes lay...

We computationally demonstrate one-way optical transmission characteristics of a subwavelength slit. We comparatively study the effect in single layer and double layer metallic corrugations. We also investigate the effect of a dielectric spacer layer between double corrugations to control the volumetric coupling of plasmon and optical modes. We computationally show unidirectional transmission b...

In this article, an innovative quadrupole-based broadside-radiating unidirectional antenna is designed at 28.475 GHz for fifth-generation (5G) Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The planar based on a single-layer technology and realized flexible substrate to facilitate conformal It consists coax-fed-driven dipole two quadrupolar near-field resonant parasitic (NFRP) elements. design achieves...

A multilayered hydrogel film system based on hyaluronic acid-cysteamine (HA-Cym) and polyvinylalcohol (PVA) was fabricated. It contained a drug-impermeable backing layer, a supporting layer preventing direct contact between the loaded drug and the backing layer, a drug-loading layer and a mucoadhesive layer. Scanning electron microscopy demonstrated the presence of the distinct layers. The comp...

The satellite network does not have the IP layer where the IPsec [2][3] is designed for. Therefore, a new algorithm is needed to secure the satellite link at link layer or physical layer. This paper will give a short analysis on the advantages and disadvantages of the MPEG-2 TS encryption and present an approach trying to use the extension header of Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE...
