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. …”

Space and place as constraints and resources in women’s strategies to escape domestic violence by Bowstead, Janet

“…This paper will particularly explore three examples of such thinking about women’s spatial strategies: Foucault’s concepts of the spatiality of surveillance are used in understanding space as a constraint and appreciating what women are overcoming when they leave abusive relationships; Deleuze and Guattari’s concepts of rhizomic networks and lines of flight are used in understanding space as a resource on the journeys themselves; and Augé’s concepts of nonplaces are used in understanding space as place, and recognising what needs to be counteracted to create new homes and a sense of belonging.…”

Potts model with the simplest modulated phase by Ganikhodjaev, Nasir, Temir, Seyit, Akin, Hasan, Uguz, Selman

“…We study the phase diagrams for the Potts model on the Bethe lattice with competing nearest-neighbor interactions J1 and ternary interactions Jp and Jt: At vanishing temperature, the phase diagram is fully determined for all values and signs of Jp=J1 and Jt=J1; in particular, we show that the phase diagrams contain ferromagnetic, paramagnetic and < 2 > phases only; i.e., the set of modulated phases consists of the < 2 > phase only for J1 > 0 and Jp=J1 < 0: We verify that values of T=J1 in the very narrow strip ¡0:11 < T=J1 < 0 with ¡Jp=J1 < 0 favor the modulated phase, which is either a commensurate phase with a very large period or an incommensurate phase. The transition lines are obtained from stability conditions, and characteristic points in the phase diagram are analyzed by using numerical iterations. …”

The Anglo-Egyptian Sudan: from collaboration mechanism to party politics, 1898-1956 by Abu Shouk, Ahmed Ibrahim

“…It discusses how the Khartoum policy-makers maintained a wide scope of choices in shifting their support from one client to another along the lines of their political agendas. It investigates the gradual shift from collaboration mechanism to party politics, highlighting the response of the Khartoum policy-makers and the Sudanese nationalists who were largely influenced by the divergent attitudes of London and Cairo towards the future of the Sudan, and that of Sayyid Ali al-Mirghani and Sayyid Abd al-Rahman al-Mahdi who had a widespread influence on Sudanese society. …”

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.…”
