Peyronie's disease has been associated with penile shortening and some degree of erectile dysfunction. Surgical reconstruction should be based on giving a functional penis, that is, rectifying the penis with rigidity enough to make the sexual intercourse. The procedure should be discussed preoperatively in terms of length and girth reconstruction in order to improve patient satisfaction. The tu...

In this paper we analyse typical indoor propagation scenarios with respect to the capacity gain made available through use of multiple transmit and receive antennas. In particular, we investigate propagation channels with strong line of sight component, as evident when the transmit array is in the same room as the receive array. It is found that the capacity gain for the pure LOS component high...

In this study, the effect of hygrothermal conditioning on the moisture diffusion properties of the fabric composite (glass fiber/epoxy resin) was investigated. The water uptake of the specimens conditioned in humid environment at different relative humidities (0, 60 and 96 % r.h) at constant temperature (60°C) was evaluated by weight gain measurements. The moisture diffusion properties of the f...

Abstract — This paper presents the design, implementation and test of inductorless low noise amplifiers implemented on a BiCMOS SiGe technology. A study of LNAs with the available spiral inductors has showed that similar gain and noise figure can be obtained with smaller resistive feedback amplifiers due to the inductors low Q at 30GHz. A wide band amplifier with a 3dB bandwidth from 12 to 30GH...
