We have designed, produced, and experimentally characterized 2.7 mm thick composite panels having negative refractive index between 8.4 and 9.2 GHz. The composite metamaterial is fabricated using conventional commercial multilayer circuit-board lithography; three-dimensional physical (as opposed to electromagnetic) structure is introduced by the use of vias to form sections of the scattering el...

This study examines the relationship between investor attention and broad market index in Indonesia Composite Index (IHSG). In today’s digital world, search engine becomes most important tool looking for information. Google dominated share with 91.38% of people use it. number supports to observe behavior market. Instead using it specific assets or securities that can limit scope investors, this...

background: the purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate surface discoloration of three microhybrid composite resins (esthet•x hd, clearfi l ap-x, gradia direct) and fi ve nanohybrid composite resins (ceram•x, gc kalore, g-aenial, grandio, grandioso), after staining and bleaching procedures. materials and methods: the composite resins were polymerized with a curing light (celalux ii, voco...

P roductivity promotion has received a key attention in contemporary macroeconomic analysis. Productivity of labor driven, in particular, by human capital (i.e. health and education), is seen vitally more important. Labor qualities in terms of health and education (treated as flow and stock variables), have a bearing on labor productivity. The main objective of this paper is to ident...

OBJECTIVE To compare two summary indicators for monitoring universal coverage of reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health care. METHODS Using our experience of the Countdown to 2015 initiative, we describe the characteristics of the composite coverage index (a weighted average of eight preventive and curative interventions along the continuum of care) and co-coverage index (a cumulati...

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To measure and compare the shear bond strength and adhesive remnant index of light-cure composite. (Enlight, Ormco.) and dual-cure composite (Phase II dual cure, Reliance Ortho). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty extracted human premolar teeth were divided into two groups: group I (blue): conventional light cure composite resin. (Enlight, Ormco.) and group II (green): dual cure ...

The case for an assessment of poverty considering multiple deprivations has been well argued for a long time (e.g. Sen, 2001, 2009). While there is a broad consensus about the multidimensionality of poverty, there is a debate as to whether the multiple indicators of deprivations should be brought together into a composite index or not (e.g. see Ravalion, 2010). On the other hand, it seems that ...
