Patch size, isolation and quality are key factors influencing species persistence in fragmented landscapes. However, we still lack a detailed understanding of how these variables exert their effects on populations inhabiting fragmented landscapes. At which ecological scale do they have an effect (e.g., individuals versus populations) and, on which demographic parameters? Answering these questio...

AIM To evaluate corneal injury during general anesthesia and analyze the protective effect of medical hydro-gel eye patch in clinics. METHODS Seventy-six patients with 152 eyes undergoing general anesthesia were included. None had positive corneal fluorescein staining before surgery. Both eyes of each patient were analyzed, with one randomly allocated to receive medical hydro-gel eye patch, a...

Analysis of aperture-coupled microstrip antennas with a superstrate using space domain closed form Greens functions is presented. Integral equations are derived from applying the boundary conditions on the radiating patch, across the aperture, and on the microstrip feedline. The computation of space domain greens functions is performed using the closed-form. The solution of the integral equatio...

This paper presents the effect on resonant frequency (fr) of equilateral triangular patch due to cover and space dielectric. It is observed that as the superstrate dielectric constant and its thickness increases, the resonant frequency decreases. For space dielectric, as the air gap between patch and space dielectric increases the resonant frequency increases with incremental change in fr < 0.4...
