Interface microstructure and reaction in Gr/Al metal matrix composites

The interface structure in Gr/Al composites fabricated with liquid metal infiltration has been studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Morphologies of interfacial reaction product, aluminium carbide Al₄C₃, formed at different manufacturing parameters were compared and, the growth mechanism of the carbide was studied by means of high resolution electron microscopy (HREM). It has been shown that the morphology of the carbide is intimately related to the processing parameters with which the composites were produced. There are two kinds of interfaces between the carbide and the aluminium matrix. They have different growth mechanisms and relative growth rates under different growth driving forces. Several crystal orientation relationships between the carbide and the aluminium matrix have been observed.     

Characteristics of aperture coupled microstrip antennas withvarious radiating patches and coupling apertures

A full wave moment method is applied to the analysis of aperture coupled microstrip antennas, in which all components of the electric and equivalent magnetic surface currents are considered. The electric current distributions on the rectangular patch for different coupling aperture positions are presented with their radiation patterns. The effects of the coupling aperture shape and size on the input impedance and radiation performance are also discussed. As an example of new radiators, slotted patches are studied, and it is shown that they can be used to achieve dual-frequency operation

Characterization of an ovarian cancer activating factor in ascites from ovarian cancer patients

Ascites from ovarian cancer patients contain potent growth-promoting activity toward human ovarian cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. This activity is associated with rapid increases in cytosolic free calcium ([Ca2+]i) as a consequence of phosphoinositide hydrolysis. In this study, we describe the purification, characterization, and identification of an ovarian cancer activating factor (OCAF) from ascites of ovarian cancer patients. We have isolated OCAF by a combination of solvent extraction, silica gel chromatography, and TLC. Mass spectral analysis, phospholipase sensitivity, and gas chromatographic behavior of purified OCAF indicate that OCAF is composed of various species of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), including LPAs with polyunsaturated fatty acyl chains (linoleic, arachidonic, and docosahexaenoic acids). However, OCAF is more potent than sn-1 palmitoyl, oleoyl, or stearoyl LPA in increasing [Ca2+]i in ovarian cancer cells. The ability of OCAF to alter [Ca2+]i is sensitive to the effects of lipoxidase, whereas the activity of sn-1 oleoyl, stearoyl, or palmitoyl LPA is not, suggesting that polyunsaturated bonds in the fatty acyl chain of OCAF may account for its increased ability to activate ovarian cancer cells. Furthermore, a sn-2 linoleoyl LPA generated by phospholipase A1 treatment of synthetic phosphatidic acid is much more active than are sn-1 palmitoyl, stearoyl, or oleoyl LPA in increasing [Ca2+]i in ovarian cancer cells. Taken together, these data suggest that the ability of OCAF to increase cellular calcium may reside in the structure and/or location of the fatty acyl chain of LPA. Purified OCAF, at concentrations similar to those present in ascites from ovarian cancer patients, was sufficient to induce proliferation of ovarian cancer cells, as indicated by thymidine incorporation, reduction of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, or colony formation. However, even at optimal concentrations of OCAF, proliferation was lower than that induced by FCS or ascites from ovarian cancer patients, indicating that, although OCAF may be a major regulator of ovarian cancer cells in vivo, it is not the sole mediator present in ascites, and it likely functions in concert with other growth factor activities.

A millimeter-wave omnidirectional dielectric rod metallic gratingantenna

A new millimeter-wave omnidirectional dielectric rod metallic grating antenna is investigated theoretically and experimentally, in this paper. The radiation characteristics of the antenna are carefully investigated by a rigorous formulation for the TE₀₁-mode and TM₀₁-mode excitation in the Ka-band frequency range. Based on the analysis, an omnidirectional antenna excited by the TE₀₁ mode is designed and measured. The measured results are compared with theoretical predictions and good agreement is found. Extensive numerical results are given to establish some useful guidelines for the design of the omnidirectional antenna
