Microwave detection of buried mines using non-contact, synthetic near-field focusing [PDF]
Existing ground penetrating radars (GPR) are limited in their 3-D resolution. For the detection of buried land-mines, their performance is also seriously restricted by `clutter'. Previous work by the authors has concentrated on removing these limitations

Transient behavior of a system composed of conductive thin wire structures excited by harmonic and lightning type signals [PDF]
The transient response of a system of independent electrodes buried in a semi-infinite conducting medium is studied. Using a simple and versatile numerical scheme written by the authors and based on the Electric Field Integral Equation (EFIE), the ...

Abstract This research aims to study the intelligent wireless sensor to improve the water permeability of permeable asphalt concrete pavement. The water permeability of pavement is extremely important for the traffic environment. This study first briefly introduces the background and significance analysis, and then exemplifies the deployment algorithm ...

Dynamics of methane ebullition from a peat monolith revealed from a dynamic flux chamber system [PDF]
Methane (CH4) ebullition in northern peatlands is poorly quantified in part due to its high spatiotemporal variability. In this study, a dynamic flux chamber (DFC) system was used to continuously measure CH4 fluxes from a monolith of near‐surface ...

Customarily, while designing the micro grid (MG) grounding the impact of close by grounding is not surmised. Due to which their grounding design becomes more flawed as it results in the fallacious computation of safety parameters, evincing the surplus ...

The first maps of κd - the dust mass absorption coefficient - in nearby galaxies, with DustPedia [PDF]
The dust mass absorption coefficient, κd is the conversion function used to infer physical dust masses from observations of dust emission. However, it is notoriously poorly constrained, and it is highly uncertain how it varies, either between or within ...

Not quite the 'Great Britain of the Far East': Japan's security, the US-Japan alliance and the 'war on terror' in East Asia [PDF]
Japan, in responding to US expectations for support in the 'war on terror', has displayed a degree of strategic convergence on global security objectives, thus prompting policy-makers and observers to dub it the 'Great Britain of the Far East'.
