Natural products provide excellent potential leads for drug development because of their chemical diversity and biological functionality. However, the productivity of discovery of new, pharmacologically active natural products has traditionally been low due to inherent difficulties and costs associated with extract dereplication, i.e., isolation, purification and structure elucidation of indivi...

a filtering power divider/power combiner based on half mode substrate integrated waveguide technology for high power applications is proposed. this design includes one half mode substrate integrated waveguide cavity, one matched load, and four sections of quarter-wavelength transmission lines. the high isolation between output ports is obtained by combining the half mode substrate integrated wa...

A four-way power divider/power combiner using substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) and microstrip lines is proposed and investigated. The proposed power divider consists of a double-layer substrate with a bottom layer including an SIW T-junction and a top layer including a microstrip network. This microstrip network consists of a modified Gysel power divider which provides a high isolation betw...

With the development of high-speed railway in recent years, lots of researchers have been paying more and more attention to the seismic isolation of high-speed railway bridge. The equivalent linear model of hysteretic characteristics of lead rubber bearings (LRB) is presented, the computational method and the varying range of dynamic parameters effecting hysteretic characteristics of LRB are es...

Introduction: The lack of social communication is associated with the primary risk of proper brain functions. It is reported that crocin helps relieve this problem. The present study examined the protective effect of two doses of crocin on Long-term potentiation (LTP) of hippocampal cornu ammonis 1 (CA1) area as a cellular mechanism in rats exposed to chronic social isolated stress. Methods: R...
