Al2O3 doped Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 ~BST! thin films, with different Al2O3 contents, were deposited on ~100! LaAlO3 substrates by the pulsed laser deposition technique to develop agile thin films for tunable microwave device applications. The dielectric properties of Al2O3 doped BST films were determined with a nondestructive dual resonator near 7.7 GHz. We demonstrated that the Al2O3 doping plays a sig...

Here we discussed different dielectric substrate frequently used in microstrip patch antenna to enhance overall efficiency of antenna. Various substrates like foam, duroid, benzocyclobutane, roger 4350, epoxy, FR4, Duroid 6010 are in use to achieve better gain and bandwidth. A dielectric substrate is a insulator which is a main constituent of the microstrip structure, where a thicker substrate ...

Mechanical phenotyping of cells by atomic force microscopy (AFM) was proposed as a novel tool in cancer cell research as cancer cells undergo massive structural changes, comprising remodelling of the cytoskeleton and changes of their adhesive properties. In this work, we focused on the mechanical properties of human breast cell lines with different metastatic potential by AFM-based microrheolog...

Microwave technology has a potential application in the extraction of zinc from sulphide ores, knowledge of the dielectric properties of these ores plays a major role in the microwave design and simulation for any process. The dielectric properties of zinc sulfide concentrate for two different apparent densities—1.54 and 1.63 g/cm3—have been measured by using the resonance cavity perturbation t...

Some results of the influence of y radiation on the mechanical properties of PoIymethylmethacrylate are presented. Doses of 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 kGy were employed. The internal friction (loss tangent) and storage shear modulus were measured at temperatures between 173 K and 300 K using a damped torsion pendulum. Compressive tests were made at room temperature with strain rates between 1 . 4 ...

Polycrystalline samples of Gd-modified Lead Zirconate Titanate [PGZT; Pb1-xGdx(Zr0.65Ti0.35)1-x/4O3] ceramics (where, x = 0.00, 0.06 and 0.09) were prepared using high temperature mixed oxide method at sintering temperature 1450 K. Preliminary structural analysis through X-ray diffraction technique suggests their formation in single phase tetragonal crystal system at room temperature. From the ...

We define rectifiability in \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\times\mathbb{R}\) with a parabolic metric terms of \(C^1\) graphs and Lipschitz small constants we characterize it approximate tangent planes measures. also discuss relations between the other notions rectifiability.

In this paper, we first present a new important property for Bouligand tangent cone (contingent cone) of a star-shaped set. We then establish optimality conditions for Pareto minima and proper ideal efficiencies in nonsmooth vector optimization problems by means of Bouligand tangent cone of image set, where the objective is generalized cone convex set-valued map, in general real normed spaces.

Practical design parameters of resonant metamaterials, such as loss tangent, are derived in terms of the quality factor Q of the resonant effective medium permeability or permittivity. Through electromagnetic simulations of loopbased resonant particles, it is also shown that the Q of the effective medium response is essentially equal to the Q of an individual resonant particle. Thus, by measuri...

This work presents the effect of nanoparticles (Al2O3 and TiO2) on methyl ester synthesized from palm kernel oil for oil-filled power equipment. It investigates loss tangent, AC conductivity, breakdown strength ester-based nanofluid. The surface was functionalized with oleic acid before dispersing it into to modify stability mixture. Scanning electron microscopy coupled dispersive X-ray done tw...
