A fundamental limit on the performance of geometrically-tuned planar resonators [PDF]
Geometric frequency tuning in planar electromagnetic resonators is common in many applications. It comes, however, at a penalty in the resonance quality, Q0. The literature traces the causes of such penalty often in terms of the shortcomings in the added

Sickle Cell Disease Is an Inherent Risk for Asthma in a Sibling Comparison Study
ABSTRACT Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) and asthma share a complex relationship. Although estimates vary, asthma prevalence in children with SCD is believed to be comparable to or higher than the general population. Determining whether SCD confers an increased risk for asthma remains challenging due to overlapping symptoms and the ...

Perspectives on Mechanism Design in Economic Theory [PDF]
Economics began with Xenophon’s Oeconomicus (c 360 BCE), in which Socrates interviews a model citizen who has two primary concerns. He goes out to his farm in the country to monitor and motivate his workers there. Then he goes back to the city, where his participation in various political institutions is essential for maintaining his rights to own this

ABSTRACT Background While Wilms tumor (WT) typically has a favorable prognosis, relapsed cases—especially those with high‐risk histology—remain therapeutically challenging after intensive frontline therapy. The combination of vincristine and irinotecan has demonstrated activity in pediatric solid tumors, and pazopanib, a multi‐targeted tyrosine kinase ...

Deployment Dynamic Modeling and Driving Schemes for a Ring-Truss Deployable Antenna
Mesh reflector antennas are widely used in space tasks owing to their light weight, high surface accuracy, and large folding ratio. They are stowed during launch and then fully deployed in orbit to form a mesh reflector that transmits signals.
