Low-profile and end-fire antennas for airborne applications by Chen, Zhuozhu

“…For example, the performance of log-periodic, Yagi-Uda and Vivaldi antennas is very sensitive to the conducting ground-plane on which these antennas are mounted. H-plane horn antennas can hardly achieve wide bandwidth and maintain low profile simultaneously. …”

Magneto-photoconductivity of three dimensional topological insulator bismuth telluride by Cao, Bingchen, Eginligil, Mustafa, Yu, Ting

“…Here, we report on low temperature magneto-photoconductivity, up to 7 T, of two metallic bismuth telluride topological insulator samples with 68 and 110 nm thicknesses excited by 2.33 eV photon energy along the magnetic field perpendicular to the sample plane. At 4 K, both samples exhibit negative magneto-photoconductance below 4 T, which is as a result of weak-antilocalization of Dirac fermions similar to the previous observations in electrical transport. …”

Design of a conformal end-fire array antenna by Wang, Xin Xin

“…Based on the understanding of previous design methodology for a wideband and low-profile H-plane ridged SIW horn antenna, we further explore the possibility of advanced low-profile horn antenna designs to provide better performance of larger bandwidth, lower VSWR, and better radiation pattern. …”

Automated multisensor polyhedral model acquisition by Ortin, D, Montiel, JMM, Zisserman, A

“…The vision algorithms are then able to compute a very accurate registration (via a plane to plane homography) which is used to segment the model into planar facets, and to improve the estimate of the model and sensor position. …”

Homologous Lympho-epithelial Kazal-type inhibitor domains delay blood coagulation by inhibiting factor X and XI with differential specificity by Ramesh, Karthik, Lama, Dilraj, Tan, Kang Wei, Nguyen, Van Sang, Chew, Fook Tim, Verma, Chandra Shekhar, Mok, Yu Keung

“…A model of the LEKTI-protease complex revealed that FXaB has a narrower S4 pocket compared with FXIa and hence prefers only small side-chain residues at the P4 position, such as Ala in LEKTI domain 6. Mutational studies combined with a molecular complex model suggest that both a more flexible reactive-site loop and a bulky residue at the P4 position make LEKTI domain 4 a weaker but highly selective inhibitor of FXIa.…”

Design and implementation of a non-iterative division circuit by Zhang, Dawei

“…To simplify the computation, and hence hardware complexity, each strip of the curved surface is then represented by a flat plane. Linear programming is used to find the flat plane with best fit to the curved surface, i.e., minimum difference between the curved surface and the fitted plane (minimum error). …”

Electronic Properties of Fluoride and Half–fluoride Superlattices KZnF3/KAgF3 and SrTiO3/KAgF3 by Yang, Xiaoping, Su, Haibin

“…While within half–fluoride SrTiO3/KAgF3, out–of–plane electronic reconstruction results in electron doping of AgF2 plane and antiferromagnetic state instability, and the Fermi surface shape presents considerable similarity to that in HgBaCuO4. …”
