A new waveguide slot array antenna with high isolation and high antenna bandwidth operation on Ku- and K- bands for radar and MIMO systems by Alibakhshikenari, Mohammad, Virdee, Bal Singh, See, Chan, Abd-Alhameed, Raed, Falcone, Francisco, Limiti, Ernesto

“…Edge-to-edge distance between the slot radiators is 0.2λ, which is at least two-fold smaller than conventional array antennas. With the slot isolators the antenna’s minimum and maximum gains improve by 53.5% and 25.5%, respectively. …”

The Foyers Granitic Complex and its aureole by Hood, Philip Thomas.

“…Contact relationships between envelope and complex imply sloping was the major intrusion mechanism, with siliceous lithologies more readily sloped than others. Low density contrasts between granitoid and envelope necessitate sloping occured whilst the pluton was very fluid, extra bouyancy perhaps derived from connection with a magma source at depth. …”

Ultrasound propagation in colloidal dispersions by Sherman, Nigel E.

“…Attenuation as a function of barite concentration in Newtonian liquids was investigated and the ultrasonic particle radius was found to be systematically larger than expected. This is attributed to particle rugosity. …”

The shipwrecked shore and other metaphors : what we can learn from occupation of, and representations in, virtual worlds by Burns, Tom, Sinfield, Sandra, Holley, Debbie

“…With educational paradigms shifting to include 'online learning, hybrid learning and collaborative learning' (NMC2012:5); the NMC report points out that institutions that support their learners by offering affordances other than physical campuses leverage the online skills that learners bring with them to academia. …”

Remote banking fraud detection framework using sequence learners by Patel, Yogesh, Ouazzane, Karim, Vassilev, Vassil, Li, Jun

“…The results of the modelling demonstrate that given the labeled dataset both the LSTM and SVM model can detect payment fraud with acceptable accuracy, though overall the LSTM models perform slightly better than the SVM models. The results also prove the hypothesis that the events across banking channels can be modelled as time series data and then sequence-based learners such as Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) can be applied to improve or reduce the False Positive Rate (FPR) and False Negative Rate (FNR).…”

A novel downlink semi-persistent packet scheduling scheme for VoLTE traffic over heterogeneous wireless networks by Tabany, Myasar R., Guy, Chris G., Sherratt, R. Simon

“…The simulation results confirm that the proposed scheme is able to reduce VoLTE end-to-end delay and achieve a better system capacity than current methods, and maintain the desired VoLTE QoS.…”

Fine motor skills and unsystematic spatial binding in the common region test (CRT): under-inclusivity in ASD and over-inclusivity in ADHD by Lange-Kuettner, Christiane, Kochhar, Ridhi

“…Results: Children with ASD and ADHD showed more unsystematic coding than TD children. This was due to lower fine motor skills, and in children with ADHD also because of reduced verbal naming. …”

An innovative and simpleiImpedance matching network using stacks of metasurface sheets to suppress the mismatch between antennas and RF front-end transceivers circuits by Alibakhshikenari, Mohammad, Virdee, Bal Singh, Althuwayb, Ayman Abdulhadi, Falcone, Francisco, Limiti, Ernesto

“…Each MTS impedance matching sheet comprises two-dimensional periodic array of subwavelength microstrip resonator unit-cells that are spaced at a wavelength that is smaller than the frequency of operation. The unit-cells are square shaped patches and embedded with cross-shaped slots that are grounded through a via-hole. …”

Politics in Wales since devolution by Stirbu, Diana, McAllister, Laura

“…The history of modern Welsh politics is better represented by continuity, rather than dramatic or radical change. Its electoral history has been characterised by loyalty to a single party: first to the Liberals (between 1885 and 1918), then to the Labour Party for most of the 20th century. …”

Turkish foreign policy in the Balkans amidst 'soft power' and 'de-Europeanisation' by Alpan, Başak, Öztürk, Ahmet Erdi

“…In this regard, this paper aims to decipher different dimensions of Turkey’s foreign policy in the Balkans through a more general exploration of the de-Europeanisation of Turkish foreign policy in the 2010s. Through more than 80 semi-structured interviews, which were conducted between 2016-2020, with political actors, diplomats, religious leaders, scholars and journalists in Turkey and in the Balkans, we address the question of whether the divergence Turkish foreign policy from a soft power perspective and its concomitant de-Europeanisation tendency had been crystallised in its policy towards the Balkans within the context of the 2010s.…”
