Electrodeposition of metal nanostructures for plasmonic sensing by Mueller, Aaron David

“…As this process can produce tall nanostructures, plasmonic modal evolution with height is investigated, along with effects on refractive index sensitivity. Tall v¬-shaped split ring resonator structures were found to have a sensitivity of close to 400 nm/RIU in the optical spectrum, much higher than the theoretical maximum predicted for simple localized resonance.…”

Design of a low-profile wideband spiral antenna by Deng, Wenting

“…The first part of this final year project involves designing a wideband Single-Arm Spiral (SAS) antenna with a small disc backed by a cavityanda ring-shaped AbsorbingMaterial (ABS). By placing a conducting cavity behind an SAS with a disc, the circularly polarized bidirectional beam isconvertedinto unidirectional beam. …”

Fast depth-sensitive fluorescence measurements in turbid media using cone shell configuration by Ong, Yi Hong, Liu, Quan

“…Depth-sensitive fluorescence spectroscopy in a two-layered epithelial tissue phantom was demonstrated using a cone shell configuration implemented by an axicon lens and a fiber assembly including five rings of collection fibers. Each collection fiber ring was located at a different radial distance away from the center, for which fluorescence measurements from all rings showed a larger range of sensitivities to the top and bottom layers compared to the previously reported cone shell configuration. …”

Parametric inversion of spin currents in semiconductor microcavities by Flayac, H., Solnyshkov, D. D., Malpuech, G., Shelykh, Ivan A.

“…The energy of the pulse is set to be close to the inflexion point of the lower polariton dispersion branch and the focusing in real space populates the reciprocal space on a ring. Above threshold, the parametric scattering towards the idler and the signal state is triggered on the whole elastic circle. …”

A multi-beam circularly polarised Fabry-Perot resonator antenna array using SIW for X-Band applications by Khajeh Mohammad Lou, Reza, Aribi, Tohid, Sedghi, Tohid, Virdee, Bal Singh

“…This paper presents a novel multi-layer beamforming antenna array based on Fabry-Perot resonator that is excited by a high performance compact 4 × 4 Butler matrix using substrate integrated waveguide SIW) technology for X-band application. The adapted ring patch antenna is fed through the aperture on a rectangular SIW cavity and forms the radiating element in the antenna array. …”

A signal through the noise: accurate determination of hydrogen atom positions in crystal structures and optimisation of Laue neutron diffraction methods by Sackman, GA

“…This focuses on:</p> <p>Recommendations for the efficient collection of Laue neutron data, in order to optimise the data set completeness and awarded beam-time; strategic considerations for how to best answer the scientific question(s) at hand in a Laue neutron experiment, whilst planning against future contingencies; improving methods for crystal packing and shipping, particularly for air and moisture sensitive materials; discussing issues arising from ice forming on the crystal during a Laue neutron diffraction experiment, and methods for minimising this problem; more effectively modelling disorder using ring shapes, in the crystallographic refinement package CRYSTALS; providing rationale for Laue neutron specific checkCIF comments.…”

Developing small molecule ligands for the study of bromodomain-histone interactions by Brand, M

“…The stability of the dihydroquinaxolinone headgroup was optimised by ring size expansion, which maintained CREBBP affinity and binding mode – the latter of which was confirmed by X-Ray crystallography. …”

Resolution of proteotoxic stress in the endoplasmic reticulum by ubiquitin ligase complexes by Lari, F

“…ER-associated degradation (ERAD) oversees protein folding and delivers misfolded proteins for degradation by the proteasome via ubiquitin conjugation mediated by RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligases. An intact ERAD is crucial to cellular homeostasis, as unresolved protein imbalances cause ER stress that ultimately lead to apoptosis. …”

Synthesis and properties of porphyrin nanotubes by Haver, R

“…An unprecedented method of ring-stacking of pre-formed 6-porphyrin nanorings is discussed as well as a template-directed procedure. …”
