Adaptive beamforming of steerable array monopole antenna for WLAN application [PDF]
The modern communication systems are using smart portable devices that operate on WLAN frequency of 2.45 GHz. One of the serious limitations of handled devices is difficult to achieve a direct connection between the transmitter and receiver. Therefore, a

Abstract Degradation within a manmade earth embankment structure is often unobservable from the surface. In order to evaluate the structural integrity of earth embankment levees and dams and identify subsurface zones of weakness that may result in the future failures of such structures, various geophysical methods have been proposed as effective ...

Stepped Spillway Flows and Air Entrainment [PDF]
Stepped spillways have become a popular method for handling flood releases. The steps increase significantly the rate of energy dissipation taking place on the spillway face and reduce the size of the required downstream energy dissipation basin.

Abstract Off‐stream reservoirs are artificial water storage structures that increase the flood risk of an area. In some places, related risk reduction plans are based on a risk classification of these structures, which follows local water resource management regulations. These classification methods typically follow deterministic qualitative guidelines
