The design of Tri-Band, 1X8 Linear Antenna Array that operates in three bands 5.4GHz, 6.2GHz, 9.2GHz with the perspective that the antenna array has multiple resonating frequencies and is able to modify its radiation pattern as well, using Micro-strip Patch Antenna elements in combination with PIN Diodes and beam can be steered in each iteration by controlling the supply of PIN Diodes.

We developed a facile synthesis to yield orthogonally protected mannose building blocks with high overall yields. The protection/glycosylation steps can be carried out in a successive manner without purification of intermediate products. This developed synthesis led to formation of linear/branched tri-, penta- and heptasaccharides.

We present Convolution Shadow Maps, a novel shadow representation that affords efficient arbitrary linear filtering of shadows. Traditional shadow mapping is inherently non-linear w.r.t. the stored depth values, due to the binary shadow test. We linearize the problem by approximating shadow test as a weighted summation of basis terms. We demonstrate the usefulness of this representation, and sh...

This study uses industrial pollution data from the Environmental Protection Agency's Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) and tract-level demographic data from the 2000 U.S. census to determine whether environmental racial inequality existed in the Detroit metropolitan area in the year 2000. This study differs from prior environmental inequality research in two important ways. First, it offers a posi...

An SN2 reaction (NaI) of 1,7-di(methanesulfoxyl)heptadien-4-yl methoxy-(2-naphthyl)acetate and a tributyltin hydride reduction of 1,7-diiodo-4-yl methoxy-(2-naphthyl)acetate (2NMA) is crucial for determination of the absolute configuration of secondary alcohols.

[Purpose] The purpose of the present study was to develop an education program for physical therapy assistants in order to provide high quality physical therapy for the province of Quang Tri in Vietnam. [Subjects and Methods] Subjects consisted of 9 professors in Quang Tri medical college and 1 physical therapist in Quang Tri General hospital. The survey research to lecturer for education of ph...
