Magnetohydrodynamic wave phenomena have been investigated in the deep plasmasphere by the electric field measurements in the EXOS-D(Akebono) satellite.EXOS-D has highly eccentric orbits(the perigee: 274km, the apogee: 10,500km), which allows relatively long observational time interval near the apogee region compared to othe satellites which pass ww
Interleaved Subwavelength Gratings Strip Waveguide Based TM Pass Polarizer on SOI Platform
We report on an ultra-compact, low loss and broadband TM-pass polarizer, which is constructed by two interleaved subwavelength-gratings (SWGs) waveguides inserted in the center of the strip waveguide on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform.The device structure is optimally engineered to support Bloch mode for fundamental TM polarization only.There
GH-secreting pituitary macroadenoma (acromegaly) associated with progressive dental malocclusion and refractory CPAP treatment
Abstract Background A link between progressive dental malocclusion, the use of a continuous positive airway pressure mask and GH-secreting pituitary macroadenoma (acromegaly) has not been previously reported.The present clinicopathological analysis stresses that tooth malposition should not be seen exclusively as a local process.Case presentation A
Genomic Characterization of the Istrian Shorthaired Hound
Istrian shorthaired hound is an old indigenous Croatian dog breed with historical traces of its origin, which date back to the 14th century.Due to its intelligence and great hunting abilities, it is considered an excellent hunting dog.Despite its ancient origin, there is no data on genetic diversity, population structure, and degree of inbreeding t
Critical review and functional safety of a battery management system for large-scale lithium-ion battery pack technologies
Abstract The battery management system (BMS) is the main safeguard of a battery system for electric propulsion and machine electrification.It is tasked to ensure reliable and safe operation of battery cells connected to provide high currents at high voltage levels.In addition to effectively monitoring all the electrical parameters of a battery pack
