A Wideband Waveguide Antenna with Nearly Equal E- and H-Plane Radiation Patterns by Mei Qing Qi, He-Xiu Xu, Hui Feng Ma, Mou Ping Jin, Wei Wang, Tie Jun Cui

“…A novel wideband waveguide antenna with excellent performance is proposed, which is composed of a coaxial-waveguide transition and an open-ended rectangular waveguide loaded with a pair of horizontal umbrella-shaped metallic brims. The brims perpendicular to two broad walls of the waveguide are constructed to modulate the antenna to radiate nearly identical E- and H-plane radiation patterns. …”

Compressive behavior and connecting topology of monolithic nanoporous niobium by Seoyun Sohn, Shan Shi, Jürgen Markmann, Stefan Alexander Berger, Jörg Weissmüller

“…With an eye on the role of structure size and topology, this study explores the mechanical behavior of nanoporous (NP) Nb made by liquid-metal dealloying. Results from X-ray nanotomography and macro-compression tests confirm that coarsening degrades the yield strength and that Young's modulus deviates from scaling laws developed for NP Au made by dealloying in aqueous media. …”
