Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleReflectivity of Reflectarrays Based on Dielectric SubstratesM. Y. Ismail, M. Inam, A. M.A. ZaidiProblem statement: Reflectarrays provide a low cost and low profile solution for antennas required for high gain applications but their use is restricted in some applications due to the narrow bandwidth and high loss performance. These performance limitations can be attributed to different sources of reflectivity of the reflectarrays. This work provides a thorough investigation on the reflectivity performance of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,628 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Retrofits Needed in Old Office Buildings to Achieve Thermal ComfortChipozya Tembo Silungwe, Josephine Mutwale Ziko, Edward Jims SakalaBuilding designs normally are made to offer a given level of comfort to occupants without any mechanical intervention. However, with the advent of global warming temperatures globally have been seen to rise making the occupants of most buildings uncomfortable. The immediate solution has been to add mechanical ventilation, which comes at an added cost of installation and running a building. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 18 Sep 2019 · 7,370 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Contribution of the CDP Gathers and Pre-Stack Seismic Inversion in the Prospect Evaluation: A Case Study of El Mansoura Field, Nile Delta, EgyptMohamed Hussein, Ahmed Abu El-Ata, Mohamed El-BehiryThis case study showing the usefulness of the Common Depth Point (CDP’s) analysis to assess the amplitude response which is similar at two cases (gas-bearing and dry sands) after stack, using the Amplitude Versus Offset (AVO) analysis and the pre-stack inversion to understand the reservoir configuration and its relationship to the different amplitude response. The results led to a high … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 24 Jul 2019 · 7,794 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModels for Mixed Ensemble of Hydrometeors and their Use in Calculating the Total Random Cross Section of a Resolution Volume Filled by Random ScatterersAyman Al-Lawama, Salaheddin Malkawi, Abdullah Al-Odienat, Felix YanovskyFlight safety is of a major concern in aircrafts since the beginning of air traffic. One of the problems threatening the safety is the in-flight icing of the aircraft. This research deals with a problem arises in the context of weather aviation maintenance. Methods of aircraft icing are based on the difference in behavior of the polarization of radar signal … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,802 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparison of Spatio-Temporal Bayesian Models for Reconstruction of Rainfall Fields in a Cloud Seeding ExperimentSujit k. sahu, Giovanna Jona Lasinio, Arianna orasi, Kanti V. MardiaIn response to the drought experienced in Southern Italy a rain seeding project has been setup and developed during the years 1989-1994. The initiative was taken with the purpose of applying existing methods of rain enhancement technology to regions of south Italy including Puglia. The aim of this study is to provide statistical support for the evaluation of the experimental … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,810 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDemonstration of Optical Phase-conjugation in Methyl Green Dye-doped Thin FilmT. Geethakrishnan, P. K. PalanisamyOptical Phase-Conjugation (OPC) has been observed in Methyl Green (MG) dye sensitized gelatin films in Degenerate Four-Wave Mixing (DFWM) configuration at 633 nm radiation from a He-Ne laser of total power 35 mW. The mechanism of Phase-Conjugate (PC) wave generation associated with this dye-doped system was discussed. The dependence of the PC wave generation on the incident angle between the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 6,783 accessesView PDF Cite
