EFFICIENCY-DRIVEN DESIGN FOR PLANAR ANTENNAS WITH LOSSY MATERIALS

Efficiency-Driven Design for Planar Antennas With Lossy Materials

This article demonstrates a design strategy for improving the radiation efficiency of a planar antenna made of a layered conductor of MXene with modest conductivity on a lossy PDMS substrate.New methods to reduce the conductor loss and the dielectric loss are proposed.On the one hand, the conductor loss is minimized by identifying the location of h

Comparative study of the effects of two suturing techniques of End-to-side arteriovenous anastomosis on early outcomes of radio-cephalic fistulas

Introduction: Radiocephalic arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) for dialysis have significantly high maturation failure rate.Many surgical technique-related factors are known to impact the outcomes of AVF surgery; anastomotic suturing technique is one such factor for which the published data is sparse.Patients and Methods: We pentair hose retrospectively

A Laboratory for Anthropology: Science and Romanticism in the American Southwest, 1846-1930, by Don D. Fowler. University of New Mexico Press, Albuquerque, 200.0

The southwestern United citronella horse shampoo States became central to American anthropology early in the development of the discipline.Beginning with the Stevensons and Coshing at Zuni in ethnology and Cushing in the Salt River Valley in archaeology just about everybody who was anybody came to work and learn in the Southwest.For this reason, it

Quantification of a Low-Cost Stretchable Conductive Sensor Using an Expansion/Contraction Simulator Machine: A Step towards Validation of a Noninvasive Cardiac and Respiration Monitoring Prototype

The use of wearable sensors in health monitoring is increasing dramatically, largely due to their convenience and low-cost.Understanding the accuracy of any given sensor is paramount to avoid potential misdiagnosis.Commercially available electro-resistive band (ERB) sensors have been integrated into several newly developed wearable devices with a v
