Abstract:
The VSA is a 14-element aperture-synthesis telescope for mapping structure in the Cosmic Microwave Background which is now being commissioned at the Teide Observatory, Tenerife. It operates at frequencies between 26 and 36 GHz, with a bandwidth of 1.5GHz. Its elements track the sky, providing fringe-rate discrimination of any instrumental effects such as antenna cross-talk or ground radiation. The instrument incorporates a single-baseline interferometer comprising two large (3.7m) dishes, which is used to provide concurrent (and same frequency) pointed flux measurements of point sources in the

Abstract:
The Very Small Array (VSA) is a fourteen-element interferometer for sensitive measurement of the CMB anisotropies on scales of three degrees to ten arcminutes. The telescope is now observing on site in Tenerife after a period of commissioning, including the first map of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect in the Coma cluster.A distinguishing feature of the instrument is that each antenna in the array tracks quasi-independently, providing a characteristic fringe rate per baseline which can be used to reject many systematics. This effect has been optimised in the antenna array design.

Abstract:
The Very Small Array (VSA) is a unique interferometric telescope operating at 33 GHz at Tenerife. It has the ability to measure fluctuations in the CMB over a large range of angular scales by means of three main array configurations: compact, extended and super-extended. These angular scales correspond to the multipole range ℓ = 150 —2500. Here we present new results from further observations of the extended array (February 2002 - June 2003). We cover ℓ-values up to ℓ ∼ 1600, thus doubling the ℓ-range of WMAP. The resulting power spectrum in the ℓ-range 800 – 1600 has very low noise coupled wi

The VSA is an aperture synthesis array dedicated to measuring anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). It has observed in two configurations to measure the CMB power spectrum from ℓ=150–1600, detecting the first three acoustic peaks at good signal-to-noise. We now plan to enhance the telescope to allow observation at higher ℓ. This will allow measurement of the fourth and subsequent peaks and will allow us to break degeneracies that exist at present between cosmological parameters. In addition we will investigate the excess power detected by CBI at ℓ > 2000 and will conduct hi

Radio astronomical synthesis imaging arrays can create images with resolution much higher than can single dish telescopes. However, one of the biggest problems that imaging arrays face is radio frequency interference (RFI). This interference corrupts signals and prevents accurate image creation. Therefore, it is necessary to remove this interference.

Freezing is a widespread ecological challenge, affecting organisms in over half the terrestrial environment as well as both polar seas. With very few exceptions, if a cell freezes internally, it dies. Polar teleost fish in shallow waters avoid freezing by synthesising a range of protein or glycoprotein antifreezes. Terrestrial organisms are faced with a far greater thermal challenge, and exhibit a more complex array of responses. Unicellular organisms survive freezing temperatures by preventing ice nucleating within the cytosol, and tolerating the cellular dehydration and membrane disruption t

Full text
Abstract:
In this chapter, several planar array designs based on the use of a small number of the active elements located at the center of the planar array surrounded by another number of the uniformly distributed parasitic elements are investigated. The parasitic elements are used to modify the radiation pattern of the central active elements. The overall radiation pattern of the resulting planar array with a small number of active elements is found to be comparable to that of the fully active array elements with a smaller sidelobe level (SLL) at the cost of a relatively wider beamwidth and lower directivity. Nevertheless, the uses of only a small number of the active elements provide a very simple feeding network that reduces the cost and the complexity of the array. Simulation results which have been computed using computer simulation technology-microwave studio (CST-MWS) show that the sidelobe level of the designed array pattern with parasitic elements is considerably better than that of the similar fully active array elements. The proposed array can be effectively and efficiently used in the applications that require wider antenna beams.

Abstract:
In this study, a semi cylindrical capacitive array type liquid interface level measuring sensor is described. The sensor consists of a continuous large semi cylindrical thin metallic plate acting as a common plate of the capacitor and an array of small semi cylindrical thin metallic plates, separated by very small gap distance. All plates are mounted along the outer wall of a cylindrical non conducting vertical storage tank. The detection of liquid interface is based on the measurement of capacitance of the array of plates which varies with the dielectric constant of the liquid within the tank. The measured capacitance has been obtained in nano farad range. Since the sensor is non contact type, it can be used for both conducting and non conducting type of liquid contained within a non conducting tank. Experimental results confirm the satisfactory performance of the sensor for liquid interface level measurement.

Abstract:
Chapter 4 takes long-standing debates over the “population–seats” relationship in a new direction by focusing on how the preponderance of white-majority districts and very small number of majority-minority districts limit the realistic array of electoral opportunities for Asian American women and men and Latina/os. The chapter also shows that the utility of majority-minority districts in advancing descriptive representation has been mischaracterized. Using the GRACE dataset, Chapter 4’s analysis shows that the relationship between a racial group’s population size in a district, and its likelihood of having a descriptive representative on the ballot or in office, is much more robust for men than women. To explain why, Chapter 4 uses interview data to demonstrate that within these rare districts that are widely perceived as nonwhite candidates’ primary opportunity for representation, the politics of recognition among political elites often disadvantage Asian American women and Latinas, relative to co-racial men.

Abstract:
A polymer is a very-long-chain macromolecule in which hundreds or thousands of atoms are linked together to form a one-dimensional array. The skeletal atoms usually bear side groups, often two in number, which can be as small as hydrogen, chlorine, or fluorine atoms or as large as aryl or long-chain alkyl units. Polymers are different from other molecules because the long-chain character allows the chains to become entangled in solution or in the solid state or, for specific macromolecular structures, to become lined up in regular arrays in the solid state. These molecular characteristics give rise to solid-state materials properties, such as strength, elasticity, fiber-forming qualities, or film-forming properties, that are not found for small molecule systems. The molecular weights of polymers are normally so high that, for all practical purposes, they are nonvolatile. These characteristics underlie the widespread use of polymers in all aspects of modern technology. Attempts to understand the relationship between the macromolecular structure and the unusual properties characterize much of the fundamental science in this field. Polymers are among the most complicated molecules known. They may contain thousands of atoms in the main chain, plus complex clusters of atoms that form the side groups attached to the skeletal units. How, then, can we depict such molecules in a manner that is easy to comprehend? First, an enormous simplification can be achieved if we remember that most synthetic polymers contain a fairly simple structure that repeats over and over down the chain. This simplest repetitive structure is known as the repeating unit, and it provides the basis for an uncomplicated representation of the structure of the whole polymer. For example, suppose that a polymer consists of a long chain of atoms of type A, to which are attached side groups, R. The polymer chain can be represented by the formula shown in 1.1. The two horizontal lines represent the bonds of the main chain. The brackets (or parentheses) indicate that the structure repeats many times. The actual number of repeating units present is normally not specified, but is represented by the subscript, n.

Abstract:
‘Wind power’ focuses on wind-based power and its potential as a renewable energy source. Single wind turbines, both large and small, can be used to provide power to homes or a community. Wind turbines for large power generation are usually deployed in wind farms, which are arrays of turbines. These are located in regions where the wind conditions are good, such as exposed ridges, high-altitude plains, mountain passes, coastal areas, and out at sea. Wind power produces essentially no global warming nor any pollution; only a small amount of associated carbon dioxide emissions from the fossil fuels used in the construction and operation of the wind farms. And it takes less than a year for a wind farm to generate the same amount of energy used in its manufacture. The sharp fall in the cost of electricity from wind farms, corresponding to a 20 per cent learning rate over the last decade, is such that onshore wind farms have now achieved cost competitiveness (grid-parity) with fossil-fuel-fired generators. By 2050, it is estimated that about a seventh of the world’s energy demand could be met by wind power.

Abstract:
An inventor—any creative person—knows to look under the surface of what things seem to be, to learn what they are. I have been able to find only one constant in the creative mind. It is that surprise is the hidden face of the coin of invention. In their operetta Pinafore, Gilbert and Sullivan warn us: . . . Things are seldom what they seem, Skim milk masquerades as cream; Highlows pass as patent leathers; Jackdaws strut in peacock’s feathers. . . . For example, an engineer designing a highway system wants to include crossroads between the major arteries. Common sense says that crossroads will increase driver options and speed traffic. Only very keen insight, or a complex computer analysis, reveals that crossroads tend to make matters worse. They often create localized traffic jams where none would otherwise occur. We are caught off guard when common sense fails us. Yet it is clear we would live in a deadly dull world if common sense alone were sufficient to lead us through all the mazes around us. If what we learn is no more than what we expect to learn, then we have learned nothing at all. Sooner or later, every student of heat flow is startled to find out that insulation on a small pipe can sometimes increase heat loss. Common sense is the center of gravity we return to after our flights of fancy. But it is the delicious surprise—the idea that precedes expectation—that makes science, technology, and invention such a delight. A wonderful old expression calls creativity “a fine madness,” and it is. Invention lies outside the common ways and means. If it is sane to respond predictably to reality, then invention surely is madness. A well-known riddle shows us something of the way that madness works. You are asked to connect nine dots, in a square array, with four straight lines. Each line has to continue from the end of the last line. The problem seems to have no solution.

Full text
Abstract:
At the present time, the most commonly accepted definition of a complex system is that of a system containing many interdependent constituents which interact nonlinearly. Therefore, when we want to model a complex system, the first issue has to do with the connectivity properties of its network, the architecture of the wirings between the constituents. In fact, we have recently learned that the network structure can be as important as the nonlinear interactions between elements, and an accurate description of the coupling architecture and a characterization of the structural properties of the network can be of fundamental importance also in understanding the dynamics of the system. In the last few years the research on networks has taken different directions producing rather unexpected and important results. Researchers have: (1) proposed various global variables to describe and characterize the properties of realworld networks and (2) developed different models to simulate the formation and the growth of networks such as the ones found in the real world. The results obtained can be summed up by saying that statistical physics has been able to capture the structure of many diverse systems within a few common frameworks, though these common frameworks are very different from the regular array, or capture the random connectivity, previously used to model the network of a complex system. Here we present a list of some of the global quantities introduced to characterize a network: the characteristic path length L, the clustering coefficient C, the global efficiency E<sub>glob</sub>, the local efficiency E<sub>loc</sub>, the cost Cost, and the degree distribution P(k). We also review two classes of networks proposed: smallworld and scale-free networks. We conclude with a possible application of the nonextensive thermodynamics formalism to describe scale-free networks. Watts and Strogatz [17] have shown that the connection topology of some biological, social, and technological networks is neither completely regular nor completely random. These networks, that are somehow in between regular and random networks, have been named small worlds in analogy with the smallworld phenomenon empirically observed in social systems more than 30 years ago [11, 12].

In addition, a new method called MUSIC (Multiple Signal Classification) was proposed to analyze the direction of ship waves. The distribution of the directional spectrum of ship waves as estimated by MUSIC presented a sharp monotone peak, and the estimated results were supported by field results using a small boat. The proposed estimation of ship waves by MUSIC was confirmed to

Abstract:
Extensive wake flow field measurements and visualizations are conducted using particle image velocimetry (PIV) inside the wakes of the elliptical and circular pin fin arrays in order to better understand the flow physics and the loss mechanisms of these devices. The true-mean velocity field inside the wake two diameters downstream of the pin fin arrays is obtained by collecting and ensemble averaging a large number of PIV samples in the midplane of the test section. Additional experiments are also conducted inside the very near wake of the pin fins in order to visualize instantaneous flow fiel

Abstract:
Many of the compounds in drugs cannot be effectively delivered using current drug delivery techniques (e.g., pills and injections). Transdermal delivery is an attractive alternative, but it is limited by the extremely low permeability of the skin. Because the primary barrier to transport is located in the upper tissue, Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System (MEMS) technology provides novel means in terms of both micro needle array and PZT pump, with the former one to increase permeability of human skin with efficiency, safety and painless delivery, and the latter one to decrease the size of the pump.

Abstract:
Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP) are one of the most commonly used surface mount components due to its low overall cost. Traditionally leadframe packages such as TSOP or Quad Flat Package (QFP) are less of a concern (if assembled with SnPb eutectic solder paste) about their long term reliability and often exempted from board level qualification testing as the mechanical compliance of metal leads mitigate the stresses due to the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) mismatch between the package and Print Circuit Board (PCB). Therefore more attention has been put on the solder joint reliabilit
