The application of a 3D domain decomposition finite-element and spherical mode expansion for the design of planar ESPAR (electronically steerable passive array radiator) made with probe-fed circular microstrip patches is presented in this work.A global generalized scattering matrix (GSM) in terms of spherical modes is obtained analytically from the
Abstract Purpose Percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP) is a palliative intraarterial therapy for unresectable hepatic malignancies.During PHP, high-dose melphalan is infused via the hepatic artery to saturate tumor in the liver with the chemotherapeutic substance.The venous hepatic blood is filtered by an extracorporeal melphalan specific filtration
Different multifunctional (PbTiO3, Sm0.6Nd0.4NiO3, NdMnO3) thin films were grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) technique on SrTiO3 and LaAlO3 substrates.TEM and X-ray diffraction measurements reveal that almost single crystalline thin films can be epitaxially grown on the top of substrates.The relationship between the crystallog
Abstract Background Scimitar syndrome is a rare form of partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage associated with pulmonary hypertension Lozenge and congestive heart failure that may lead to death in the newborn infant.Although it is described with anomalies of the lung, heart and their vascular structure, extremely rare association with imperfor
