Celebrating creation : therapeutic use of art and design for the elderly. by Lim, Dorothy Ghim Woon.

“…In Philadelphia, this phenomenon has been likened to old cars being traded for new and becoming a scrap heap. (Offir, 1974) Not only do the elderly face a loss of control in their lives, their sense of self-worth and sense of identity are also slowly slipping away – inevitable effects of aging. …”

Dual-band multi-layer antenna array with circular polarization and gain enhancement for WLAN and X-band applications by Virdee, Bal Singh, Aribi, Tohid, Sedghi, Tohid

“…The design employs a pentagon-shaped radiating element with parasitic strips to enable dual-band operation. A dual-transformed feed network with chamfered feed strip corners minimizes radiation distortion and cross-polarization while introducing orthogonal phase shifts to achieve circular polarization (CP) at the X-band. …”
