The free convective flow in incompressible viscous fluid past a vertical plate is studied under the presence of magnetic field. The flow is considered along the vertical plate at x-axis in upward direction and y-axis is taken normal to it. The governing equations are written in vector form. Afterwards, the equations are solved numerically using fin

Ultra Wideband (UWB) is a wireless technology for transmission of massive amounts of data over a wide frequency band using short-pulses with very low power spectral density. In 2002, FCC authorized a frequency allocation in the range of 3.1–10.6 GHz with a maximum transmitted power of -41.3 dBm/MHz for UWB commercial use. Certain applications req

In this paper, the design of an electronically reconfigurable ground plane composed of a high impedance surface (HIS) based on liquid crystals is presented and used as a backing structure for a two-arm Archimedean spiral antenna. The structure is used to provide electronic switching of two different shaped radiation patterns for monopulse radar app

The introduction of the no-fault rule in the employment injury compensation laws ousted the exclusive defences under common law that has long shielded the employers from becoming responsible for their employees' injury.
