Abstract: The mainlobe directivity maximization problem for shaped beams of linear and planar arrays is addressed based on the framework of alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMMs). First, ...

Abstract: The efficient method of moments (MoM) analysis of very large antenna arrays of disjoint elements, using macro basis function (MBF) schemes, is considered. Directional cross approximation ...

Block copolymers form the basis of the most ubiquitous materials such as thermoplastic elastomers, bridge interphases in polymer blends, and are fundamental for the development of high-performance ...

Microtubule (MT) inhibitors show anti-cancer activity in a wide range of tumors in vitro and demonstrate high clinical efficacy. To date they are routinely included into many chemotherapeutic regimens ...

Linear defects-disclinations in thermotropic liquid crystals are known to serve as templates for self-assembly of nanoparticles and molecules into continuous thread-like structures. Here, we show that ...

Microelectrode arrays and microprobes have been widely utilized to measure neuronal activity, both in vitro and in vivo. The key advantage is the capability to record and stimulate neurons at multiple ...
