Novel opto-electronic and plastic fibre sensors by Ioannides, Nicos

“…The middle POF is coupled to a red LED and emits light onto a flat target with the two outer fibres receiving the reflected light from the target and guiding it to two silicon PIN photodiodes. Theoretical investigations on the behaviour of the sensor are presented for ranges between 0 mm and 100 mm, and for targets with different reflectivities. …”

Electrical breakdown and structural characterization in synthetic resins using optical techniques by Dodd, Stephen John

“…The early tree growth is shown to be driven by the high electrical field near the pin tip, which is itself dependent on the pin-plane electrode separation as well as the applied voltage. …”

Low-loss paper-substrate triple-band-frequency reconfigurable microstrip antenna for sub-7 GHz applications by Singh, Ajit Kumar, Mahto, Santosh Kumar, Sinha, Rashmi, Alibakhshikenari, Mohammad, Al-Gburi, Ahmed Jamal Abdullah, Ahmad, Ashfaq, Kouhalvandi, Lida, Virdee, Bal Singh, Dalarsson, Mariana

“…In this paper, a low-cost resin-coated commercial-photo-paper substrate is used to design a printed reconfigurable multiband antenna. The two PIN diodes are used mainly to redistribute the surface current that provides reconfigurable properties to the proposed antenna. …”

The paradox structure in humorous narrative: an analysis of intellectuals as comic heroes by Li, Jun

“…Whether through the effect of joyful laughter or tearful laughter, these humorous texts tell the awkward but fascinating experiences of their heroes: their pursuit of higher-standard values and their final disappointment; their efforts and their failure; their disparagement as well as the beliefs they grudgingly hold in spite of their frustration. In each case, their intellectual adventures have influenced and indeed formed the contradictory personalities of these characters as presented in these humorous narratives.…”

Infrared spectroscopy of NaCl(CH3OH)n complexes in helium nanodroplets by Sadoon, Ahmed M., Sarma, Gautam, Cunningham, Ethan M., Tandy, Jonathan D., Hanson-Heine, Magnus W. D., Besley, Nicholas A., Yang, Shengfu, Ellis, Andrew M.

“…These complexes were formed in liquid helium nanodroplets by consecutive pick-up of NaCl and CH3OH molecules. For the smallest NaCl(CH3OH)n, complexes where n = 1−3, the IR data suggest that the lowest-energy isomer is the primary product in each case. …”
