In this article, a new approach for the efficient design of quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) circuits is introduced. The main advantages of the proposed idea are the reduced number of QCA cells as well as increased speed, reduced power dissipation and improved cell area. In many cases, one needs to double the effect of a particular inter median signal. State-of-the-art designs utilize a kind...

Microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuits and RF distribution networks often require two transmission lines to cross over each other. In this paper, experimental measurements and three-dimensional (3-D) finite difference time domain analysis are used to thoroughly characterize coplanar waveguide (CPW) and finite ground coplanar waveguide (FGC) 90-degree crossover junctions. It is shown ...

The paper presents the design of a novel ultra-wideband microwave crossover for the use in microstrip circuits. The proposed structure includes a double microstrip-coplanar waveguide (CPW) vertical interconnect in single-layer substrate technology which allows an inclusion of a finite-width coplanar waveguide (CPW) on the top side of the substrate to achieve the required cross-link. The present...

DNA molecules containing two crossover sites between helical domains have been suggested as intermediates in recombination processes involving double-strand breaks. We have modeled these double-crossover structures in an oligonucleotide system. Whereas the relative orientations of the helical domains must be specified in designing these molecules, there are two broad classes of the molecules, t...

despite the role of oral corticosteroids in management of sever asthma, use of these drugs needs careful awareness of its many side effects. there are controversies about the role of methotrexate in lowering the need for corticosteroides in these patients. in this study an attempt has been made to determine methotrexate effects in corticosteroid dependent asthma. six patients were entered in a ...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to compare various coplanar and non-coplanar 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) beam arrangements for the delivery of stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) to patients with early stage lung cancer, based on the dosimetric criteria from the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) 1021 protocol. METHODS Ten medically inoperable lung...

A quantum-dot cellular automata(QCA) is important technology to be with CMOS. QCA is expected to reach very high operating frequencies and significant reduction of power consumption. Reversible logic is an one-to-one mapping between the input and output vectors. Reversible logic is significant in QCA circuit with almost zero power dissipation. In this paper we propose a new reversible gate usin...
