A simple algorithm is presented for evaluating scattering parameters of a two-port network. This technique uses the indefinite admittance matrix to calculate scattering or any other desired set of two-port parameters.

Port organizations have focused their efforts on physical or tangible assets, generating profitability and value. However, it is recognized that the greatest sustainable competitive advantage is the creation of knowledge using the intangible assets of the organization. The Balanced ScoreCard, as a performance tool, has incorporated intangible assets such as intellectual, structural and social c...

Abstract: Purpose: This paper identifies the impacts of port characteristics and port-logistics integration on performance in case Ethiopian dry ports. Research Methodology: To complete study, we used structural equation modeling to test relationship between with performance. Moreover, Statistical Package for Social Science is also filter indicators. Apart from this, study was conducted three p...

In this article we describe a new instrumental setup at the University of Twente Faculty ITC with an optimized processing chain to measure absolute directional-hemispherical reflectance values of typical earth science samples in the 2.5 to 16 μm range. A Bruker Vertex 70 FTIR spectrometer was chosen as the base instrument. It was modified with an external integrating sphere with a 30 mm samplin...

The object this research is population in were employees amounting 80 people, because was less than 100 sample office Fishing as respondents. data collected using a questionnaire, analyze...

Acquired port-wine stain is a rare vascular lesion that mimics a congenital port-wine stain clinically and histologically, but is acquired after birth. A survey on more than 60 reported cases in the literature reveals that most of these cases are idiopathic, but some of the cases developed after physical or mechanical trauma, hormonal changes, chronic sun exposure, and medications (OCP, i...

Defect detectors and comparators, able to detect tiny differences between a reference (REF) sample material under test (MUT), are presented in this paper. In one version, the comparator is implemented by means of rat-race hybrid coupler single step-impedance open-ended transmission line connected ports coupler. The exploits imbalance generated two pairs isolated when MUT differs from REF sample...
