A Millimeter-Wave Antipodal Linearly Tapered Slot Antenna Array for 5G Wireless Communication by C. Ni, W. W. Wang, Y. C. Zheng, J. Ding, K. Cao, B. Liu

“…By employing a SICL-based power splitter with differential outputs, a two-element array with horizontal symmetry is formed. With the inner conductors of two parallel SICLs combined as the flaring metal shared by adjacent tapered slots, the main beam squint is effectively suppressed. …”

Multi-direction health monitoring with carbon nanotube film strain sensor by Tao Xu, Qingdong Qiu, Shaowei Lu, Keming Ma, Xiaoqiang Wang

“…By comparison, the rectangular sensor presents different sensing coefficients from vertical stretching test and horizontal stretching test. Therefore, the circular carbon nanotube film exhibits multi-direction strain monitoring that can serve as an efficient tool for structural health monitoring of composite structures.…”

Formulating the in-plane frictional resistances and collapse mechanisms for multi-storey masonry block walls by L.U. Argiento, A. Maione, C. Casapulla

“…The kinematic approach of limit analysis is used to define the load factor causing the onset of rocking-sliding mechanism under in-plane horizontal loading. A dry frictional contact condition is assumed at the rigid block interfaces, according to the Coulomb's law with non-associated flow rule. …”

Numerical Simulation and Optimization Design of End-Suspended Pile Support for Soil-Rock Composite Foundation Pit by Qingchao Xu, Zhenhao Bao, Tu Lu, Huarui Gao, Jiakang Song

“…Under the given geological conditions, the reasonable socketed ratio is within 0.158∼0.200. (2) The anchor cable prestress can effectively slow down the ground settlement, the force, and deformation of the pile body and can be set to 1P∼1.25P under the conditions of the site. (3) Rock-shoulder width has little influence on the ground settlement and horizontal displacement of piles. The reserved width of rock shoulder is suggested to be selected in the range of 1.0 m∼1.5 m.…”

The Role of Foreign Firm Characteristics, Absorptive Capacity and the Institutional Framework for FDI Spillovers by Thomas Farole, Deborah Winkler

“…A vast set of empirical evidence has been amassed over the past decade on the existence and direction of foreign direct investment (FDI)-generated horizontal and vertical spillovers. Overall, the results are mixed, and suggest that the theoretical postulated spillover effects often do not automatically materialize just because a country is able to attract FDI in the first place. …”
