Metamaterial based ultra-wideband antennas for portable wireless applications by Alibakhshikenari, Mohammad, Naser-Moghadasi, Mohammad, Sadeghzadeh, Ramazan Ali, Virdee, Bal Singh, Limiti, Ernesto

“…Various approaches have been reported to reduce the physical size of RF antennas including using high permittivity substrates, shorting pins, reactive components, and more recently, metamaterials (MTM) based on composite right-/left-handed transmission-lines (CRLH-TLs). MTM exhibit unique electromagnetic response that cannot be found in the nature. …”

Mathematical and computational modelling for the design of pipe bends and compliant systems by Bishop, Steven Richard

“…In particular predictions are sought of any incipient jumps to resonance of the systems which might lead to potentially dangerous loads in the mooring lines or excessive displacements. Throughout the dynamics work stable steady state paths are closely followed and monitored so that any resulting bifurcation, including the possibility of chaotic behaviour, can be analysed with a view to its subsequent prediction.…”

Wideband microstrip quasi-elliptic function bandpass filter with high out-of-band rejection by Virdee, Bal Singh, Riaz, Muhammad, Shukla, Pancham, Onadim, Muhittin, Ouazzane, Karim

“…The design comprises stub-loaded halfwavelength resonators that are electromagnetically coupled to resonant structures that are interdigitally coupled to the input and output feed-lines. Perturbation introduced by the presence of the stub causes the resonators to act as a multimode device. …”

Joining the dots: day to day challenges for practitioners in delivering integrated dementia care by Chase, Mike, Lloyd, Christopher E. M., Peters, Benjamin J., Chase, Elaine, Lee, Kellyn

“…In order to more successfully realise integrated dementia pathways, we propose innovative commissioning frameworks which purposefully seek to diffuse power imbalances, encourage inter-provider respect and understanding, and determine clear lines of responsibility. [Abstract copyright: © 2020 The Authors. …”

A microstrip quasi-elliptic bandpass filter implemented using stub loaded resonators by Riaz, Muhammad, Virdee, Bal Singh

“…The resonators are directly loaded with open-circuited inductive stubs and the feed-lines are interdigital coupled to the resonators. …”

The production and consumption of hospitality space by Lugosi, Peter

“…Drawing on an extended ethnographic case study, and a series of illustrative cases, the thesis develops four lines of inquiry: First, because commercial venues are characterised by fragmentary occupation, the study examines the basis for association and disassociation among hosts and guests through the notion of proximity. …”

State-of-art technologies to detect the DNA damage and repair in sperm and future outlook by Li, Qing, Guo, Juncen, Wu, Sixian, Shang, Lijun, Xu, Wenming

“…If the DNA in sperm is damaged, it may be unable to fertilize the egg, or if fertilization occurs, the resulting embryo may fail to progress normally or properly implant into the uterine lining. Sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) is a measurement used to determine the amount of sperm that have abnormal genetic material and has been becoming widely used in clinic. …”

Compact ultra-wideband bandpass filter with variable notch characteristics based on transversal signal-interaction concepts by Mirzaee, Milad, Virdee, Bal Singh, Noghanian, Sima

“…The filter configuration comprises of two transmission paths which include folded T-shaped stepped impedance resonators (SIRs) that are capacitively coupled with the input/output lines to enable signal transmission. It is shown that by combining the filters of different passband centre frequencies an UWB filter can be realised with either a single- or dual-notch function. …”

Periodic array of complementary artificial magnetic conductor metamaterials-based multiband antennas for broadband wireless transceivers by Alibakhshikenari, Mohammad, Naser-Moghadasi, Mohammad, Sadeghzadeh, Ramazan Ali, Virdee, Bal Singh, Limiti, Ernesto

“…This study presents the empirical results of a low-profile light-weight antenna based on a periodic array of the complementary artificial magnetic conductor metamaterial structure, which is realised by loading the antenna with E-shaped slits and inductive microstrip lines grounded using metallic via-holes. The finalised prototype antenna operates over a broadband of 0.41–4.1 GHz, which corresponds to a fractional bandwidth of 165.84%, and has dimensions of 40mm × 35mm × 1.6mm or 0.054λo × 0.047λo × 0.0021λo, where λo is free-space wavelength at operating frequency of 410 MHz. …”
