Implementation of a New and Modified Scheme of Butler Matrix for C-Band Applications with Enhanced Characteristics [PDF]

open access: yesRadioengineering, 2020
In this paper, the structure of a miniaturized broadband 4 × 4 Butler matrix is presented. All components of the proposed feeding network are designed in a way that they have the smallest electrical size and acceptable performance in the C band.

A High‐Performance Oxidized Graphene for Dendrite‐Free Anodes and Kinetically Enhanced Cathodes of Aqueous Zn‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Oxidized graphene rich in carboxylic acid groups obtained via a simple electrochemical exfoliation route is shown to tackle the main challenges of aqueous Zn‐ion batteries (AZIBs), specifically short Zn anode cycle life and sluggish cathode reaction kinetics.

Numerical Analysis and Optimization of a Continuous‐Flow pH‐TRC for Steady‐State Low‐Grade Waste Heat Recovery

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A steady‐state numerical model is established for a continuous‐flow pH‐TRC for low‐grade waste heat recovery. Based on carbonate and bicarbonate electrolytes, the influences of operating conditions and electrode structure on pH‐driven power generation are clarified.

Managing Strategically in Public Procurement: Dynamic Capabilities, Set‐Asides, and Contract Outcomes

open access: yesStrategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A key challenge in public procurement management is balancing equity and efficiency in government procurement. Based on longitudinal data on more than 120,000 US federal service and construction contracts awarded between 2008 and 2018 across over 500 federal agencies, we examine how agency‐level dynamic capabilities shape the performance of ...

Array Antenna Feeding Network Design for 5G MIMO Applications

open access: yesElectrica, 2019
Emerging smart antenna systems requiredifferent beam patterns of multiple antennas. Although adjustable phaseshifters are mostly used in continuous-beam systems, the Butler matrix is usedin switching-beam systems due to its low cost and easy fabrication.

Effect of age class on the survivorship and spatial movement patterns of headstarted Texas horned lizards soft‐released into an urban population

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
When compared to resident lizards of the corresponding age class, juvenile headstarted Texas horned lizards soft‐released into an urban population exhibited more favorable responses to short‐term translocation objectives (i.e., daily movement rates, home range sizes, and survival rates) than did conspecifics headstarted to the adult age class ...
