Development of an out-of-Focus Irradiator Based on a Phased Antenna Array for a Space Communications' Parabolic Reflector Antenna by D. V. Douksha, S. V. Liashkevich, V. A. Saetchnikov

“…The irradiator based on the above mentioned was simulated and the irradiator geometry was optimized according to the maximum gain criterion.The maximum gain was achieved for the irradiator based on conical spiral antennas and amounted to 30.8 dB, which for the considered mirror aperture of 2.4 m is close to traditional focal schemes. The results obtained make it possible to create an adaptive antenna system able to compensate for the deviations of the mirror's shape from the theoretical profile, as well as phase distortions in the atmosphere by changing the lattice weights coefficients.…”

Magnetically activated carbon fibers felt (MACFF) as an effective adsorbent for successful removal of cephalexin and amoxicillin from water by Ali Maghsoudi, Alireza Khajeh-Amiri

“…The BET results showed that the deposition of Fe3O4 on the surface of ACFF reduced the specific surface area to 108 m2/g. A combination of kinetic and thermodynamic studies was then performed to evaluate the absorption behavior of MACFF in the presence of cephalexin and amoxicillin as drug wastes. …”
