A Low-Profile Metasurface MIMO Antenna with Suppressed Higher-Order Modes for 5G Applications by Hamed Hamlbar Gerami, Robab Kazemi

“…The metasurface layer is a 3×3 array of patches. By strategically incorporating slits and stubs within the middle patches, the undesired degenerate mode is separated from the fundamental mode, and higher-order modes are suppressed that typically appear in conventional metasurfaces. …”

Topological conditions drive stability in meta-ecosystems by Johannes Nauta, Manlio De Domenico

“…Our results appear to further indicate that network sparsity does not necessarily reduce stability, and that connections between patches are just as important, if not more so, to consider when studying the stability of large ecological systems.…”

Analysis of deviation from nominal control chart performance on short production runs by Márcio Ricardo Morelli de Meira, Pedro Carlos Oprime, Ricardo Coser Mergulhão

“…Abstract Paper aims This paper studies the influence of process variation on deviation from nominal control chart performance and proposes some adjustments on the control limits to make it enable on small batches. Originality Specific methods were developed to monitor small batches, mainly due to unavailability of data for precise parameters estimation, like the deviation from nominal control charts. …”

ACUTE TOXICITY OF A NIGERIAN ARMAMENT FACTORY EFFLUENT ON OREOCHROMIS NILOTICUS (LINNAEUS+) by G.B ONWUMERE

“…The values for ammonia (x=3.0. mg/l), cyanide (x=2.27mg/l), sulphide (x=2.8 mg/l), and total alkalinity (x=403.0 mg/l) were consistently higher than FEPA approved limits in all batches of effluent investigated. Some heavy metals such as Nickel and chromium and also ammonia were consistently high in all the three batches of effluents analysed. …”

Amalric choroidal infarction, retinal artery occlusion, and ischemic optic neuropathy: Delayed presentations of traumatic internal carotid artery dissection by Pavinee Tangkitchot, Kittisak Unsrisong, Janejit Choovuthayakorn

“…Fundus examination showed slightly pale optic disc swelling, macular whitening with a cherry red spot appearance indicating the presence of CRAO, and several whitish triangular patches in the peripheral retina. Fundus fluorescein angiography revealed delayed arm to choroidal and retinal circulations in the early phase, with hyperfluorescence and hyperfluorescent staining along the areas of whitening triangular patches in the later phase. …”

How Do Particles with Complex Interactions Self-Assemble? by Lara Koehler, Pierre Ronceray, Martin Lenz

“…In living cells, proteins self-assemble into large functional structures based on specific interactions between molecularly complex patches. Because of this complexity, protein self-assembly results from a competition between a large number of distinct interaction energies, of the order of one per pair of patches. …”

Spatial clustering of hosts can favor specialist parasites by Jeremy Draghi, Evan Zook

“…We find that a phage may optimally ignore the worse host when the two hosts are clustered together in dense, ephemeral patches. We model conditions that enhance or reduce this selective benefit to a specialist parasite and show that it is eliminated entirely when the hosts occur only in separate patches. …”
