Design and implementation of an array of patch antenna
Wireless technology is one of the main areas of research in global communication systems today and the study of communication systems is incomplete without an understanding of the process and manufacture of antennas. This was the main reason for choosing this project to focus on this area. This paper presents the design and implementation of an antenna array consisting of 4 patch antenna elements that work on 2.4GHz frequency,the substrate FR4, It was analyzed using HFSS (High Frequency Simulator Structure). In order to achieve a gain of 7 db, and a reflection coefficient of s11 of -10db Then the board was printed And he made measurements in the laboratory on the spectrum analyzer and the kit for the antennas As a result of the measurements, we obtained the antenna gain, the antenna radiation pattern, and the s11

Deliberative public engagement with science : An empirical investigation
This compact open access reference delves beyond popular concepts of educated consumers and an informed public by examining the science behind deliberative engagement. Using data from four longitudinal studies, the authors assess public engagement methods in deliberative discussions of ethical, legal, and social issues concerning innovations in nanotechnology. Coverage includes the theoretical origins of the studies, forms of engagement and variations used, and in-depth details on cognitive, affective, and social components that go into the critical thinking process and forming of opinions. Not only are the findings intriguing in and of themselves, but researchers from varied fields will also find them useful in pursuing their own projects.
Delft Pneumatic Bipeds
Walking is simple for most of us, but two-legged robots (bipeds) are often slow, complex, inefficient, heavy, and have robotic-looking motions. What makes human walking so graceful? Can this be replicated with human-like robots?
