A novel analytical approach to the synthesis of electrical (e.g. analogue, digital or microwave) filters is proposed. This approach allows to obtain lowest possible degree filters with given involved specification including e.g. many pass and stop bands, narrow transition bands, high attenuation at the stop bands and low magnitude oscillations at the pass bands. Comparison to other existing app...

The influence of the anodization temperature and of the number of applied voltage cycles on the photonic properties of nanoporous anodic alumina-based distributed-Bragg reflectors obtained by cyclic voltage anodization is analyzed. Furthermore, the possibility of tuning the stop band central wavelength with a pore-widening treatment after anodization and its combined effect with temperature has...

Pipes are widely used in many industrial and mechanical applications and devices. Although there are many different constructions according to the specific application and device, these can show helical pattern, such as spiral pipes, wire-reinforced pipes/shells, spring-suspension, and so on. Theoretical modelling of wave propagation provides a prediction about the dynamic behavior, and it is f...
