industry leading 3D electromagnetic (EM) simulation tool for high frequency and high speed electronic components. Figure 1 highlights several antenna-related applications with emphasis on antennas on or around other structures. With multiple simulation technologies and powerful automated adaptive mesh refi nement providing gold standard accuracy, HFSS can help antenna designers who are constant...

This paper describes the application of a well-known Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) technique called Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE II) to explore porphyry copper deposits. Various raster-based evidential layers involving geological, geophysical, and geochemical geo-datasets are integrated to prepare a mineral prospectivity mapping (MPM). In a...

IW circuits are considered quasi3D (2,5D) metal-dielectric circuits. They have a high level of integration circuits, the metal and dielectric losses moderated and the precision of manufacturing for microwave applications [1]-[3]. The architecture of these structures consists in adding to the planar circuits a network of metallic via-hole integrated in the dielectric layer. The via-holes replace...

BACKGROUND In 2007, new scheduling restrictions on television food advertising to children in the UK were announced. The aim of the restrictions was to "reduce significantly the exposure of children under 16 to high fat, salt or sugar (HFSS) advertising". We explored the impact of the restrictions on relative exposure to HFSS food advertising among all viewers and among child television viewers...

supplier selection is a multi-criteria problem. this study proposes a hybrid model for supporting the suppliers’ selection and ranking. this research is a two-stage model designed to fully rank the suppliers where each supplier has multiple inputs and outputs. first, the supplier evaluation problem is formulated by data envelopment analysis (dea), since the regarded decision deals with uncertai...
