Formal component models have been subject to research for decades, but current component frameworks hardly reflect their capabilities with respect to composition, dependency management and interaction modeling. Thus the frameworks don’t exploit the benefits of formal component models like understandability and ease of maintenance, which are enabled when software is composed of hierarchical and ...

Synchronization of a complex network with switched coupling is considered. In particular, we establish a simple method to obtain a proper coupling strength for the network. Via switched system theory, with this coupling strength, we achieve synchronization of the network without requiring synchronizability of all possible configurations. First, we convert the network into a switched system with...

In this paper a novel method for computing the radiation pattern and also the input impedance of a planar rectangular micro-strip antenna array with consideration of mutual coupling and mutual impedance is presented. Each two triangles with a common edge make an Edge element or RWG. Any such edge element is considered as an infinitesimal dipole. The electrical currents over each dipole can be c...

a specific form of the inertial law is presented by which we can gain a deeper insight into the essence of mass and inertia. in this modified theory, there is no need to keep the concept of absolute space and newton's third law as principles, by introducing a convenient form for gravitational law the coupling constant g becomes a function of inertial parameters of the universe

we have designed a new type of optical channel drop filter (cdf) based on two dimensionaltriangular lattice photonic crystals. cdf operation is based on coupling to the photonic crystalwaveguide. the proposed structure is optimized to work as a cdf for obtaining the cdfcharacteristics and band structure of the filter the finite difference time domain (fdtd) method andplane wave expansion (pwe) ...

starting from two-dimensional (2d) equations of motion, discretized formulations for transient behavior of soil-structure interaction problems have been derived. two different dynamic infinite elements taking into account single and two-wave types are presented in transformed space. by coupling the infinite elements with standard finite elements, an ordinary finite element procedure is used for...

Microwave assisted facile one-step approach was adopted to prepare mono-dispersed silver sulfide nanoparticles. The structures of the synthesized Ag2S nanoparticles were confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), diffuse reflectance UV-vis spectroscopy (DRS), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The pre...

In this paper a new procedure for designing forward-wave directional couplers using periodic shunt short circuited stubs is proposed. A new type of cell using these stubs, which enlarge the phase difference between even- and odd modes of a uniform microstrip coupled line is introduced. Using the equivalent circuit model for even- and odd-modes of the proposed cell, the elements of the  ABCD tra...
