A 2 x 2 non-uniform planar array with a new technique of array arrangement has been proposed in this paper. The proposed non-uniform array has been achieved by shifting the second-row elements with a change of certain angle with respect to the elements in the first row. After optimizing the angle using CST MWS, the proposed array has achieved a pea

A series of rice husk ash silica derived mesoporous calcium silicate, and calcium carbonate catalysts were synthesized via a direct one-pot synthesis technique by varying the calcium/CTAB molar ratio (0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00). The aragonite-type calcium carbonate crystalline phase was formed on the catalyst surface when the Ca/CTAB molar ratio w
