An Au-SiO2-Au (metal-insulator-metal; MIM) surface-plasmon-polariton (SPP) guide is schematically presented in Fig. S1a. As the name “MIM” implies, a structural symmetry exists with respect to the mirror plane that cuts through the center of the SiO2 layer and is parallel to the x–y plane. As a result, supported SPP modes in the guide can be classified into two major types, each with its own di...

statement of problem: considering the importance of the occlusal plane orientation in complete denture prostheses, a study was conducted on the relationship between this plane with ala-tragus and camper’s lines in soft tissue among individuals with class iii malocclusion, in mashhad school of dentistry. purpose: the aim of the present study was to define the best soft tissue index by which the ...

SUMMARY In recent years, with the rapid growth of the In-ternet as well as the increasing demand for broadband services, live pay-television broadcasting via the Internet has become a promising business. To get this implemented, it is necessary to protect distributed contents from illegal copying and redistributing after they are accessed. Fingerprinting system is a useful tool for it. This pap...

This paper introduces a Relative Mapping Algorithm. This algorithm presents a new way of looking at the SLAM problem that does not use Probability, Iterative Closest Point, or Scan Matching techniques. A map of landmarks is generated by using the average relative location difference between landmarks. This means the algorithm does not use any known, estimated or predicted movement or position d...

Abstract This article investigates the long-wave anti-plane shear motion in a symmetric three-layered laminate composed of pre-stressed compressible elastic layers. The layers are perfectly bonded, while traction-free and fixed boundary conditions considered on outer faces laminate. In both cases, dispersion relation is obtained terms anti-symmetric decompositions. Numerical results an asymptot...
