A new and accurate edge extension formula based on the Taguchi method is proposed to calculate the resonant frequency of electrically thin and thick rectangular patch antennas with an air gap (RPAAG) and rectangular patch antennas without an air gap.Based on 3205 antennas data random distribution in the Hand Mixer electrical substrate thickness h/&
Genetics and shell morphometrics of assimineids (Mollusca, Caenogastropoda, Truncatelloidea) in the St Lucia Estuary, South Africa
The Assimineidae are a family of amphibious microgastropods that can be mostly found in estuaries and mangroves in South Africa.These snails often occur in great Perfume numbers and are ecologically important to the St Lucia Estuary, which forms a crucial part of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.Genetic and shell morphome
Uncovering the Epigenetic Marks Involved in Mediating Salt Stress Tolerance in Plants
The toxic effects of salinity on agricultural productivity necessitate development of salt stress tolerance in food crops in order to meet the escalating demands.Plants use sophisticated epigenetic systems to fine-tune their responses to environmental cues.Epigenetics is the study of heritable, covalent modifications of DNA and histone proteins tha
Microscopic Approaches to Decomposition and Burning Processes of a Micro Plastic Resin Particle under Abrupt Heating
To elucidate the possibility and availability of thermal recycling of waste plastic resin from a basic and microscopic viewpoint, a series of abrupt heating processes of a spherical micro plastic particle having a diameter of about 200 μm is observed, when it is abruptly exposed to hot oxidizing combustion gas.Three ingenious devices 6-06 N are
