Effects of Reentry Plasma Sheath on Mutual-Coupling Property of Array Antenna by B. W. Bai, X. P. Li, Y. M. Liu, J. Xu

“…Results show that mutual coupling coefficients of array elements are deteriorating more seriously with the decrease of collision frequency. Moreover, when electron density and collision frequency are both large, plasma sheath improves the mutual coupling property of array elements; this conclusion suggests that replacing the on-board single antenna with the array antennas and using beamforming technology can be adopted to mitigate the blackout problem in this condition.…”

Chemical, Mineralogical, and Morphological Properties of Steel Slag by Irem Zeynep Yildirim, Monica Prezzi

“…The mineralogical and morphological properties of BOF and electric-arc-furnace-ladle [EAF(L)] slag samples generated from two steel plants in Indiana were determined through X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analyses and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) studies. The XRD patterns of both BOF and EAF(L) slag samples were very complex, with several overlapping peaks resulting from the many minerals present in these samples. …”
