Antennas with higher gain and efficiency deliver superior performance across a wide frequency range. Achieving these characteristics at high frequencies while keeping a compact size necessitates sophisticated design approaches. This research presents a substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity-backed slotted patch antenna (SPA) tailored for the 28 GHz and 34 GHz frequency bands.

The original design of the antenna is a traditional patch antenna, and its dual-polarized features are determined using characteristic mode analysis.

Antenna performance can be improved by fine-tuning preliminary designs created using theoretical considerations and rough dimension adjustment via supervised parameter sweeps. This paper introduces a frequency reconfigurable antenna design that can operate at 28/38 GHz frequencies to meet FCC and Ofcom standards for 5G applications and in the 18 GHz frequency band for K-band radar applications.

The utilisation of partial transmission sequence, often known as PTS, is an efficient method for reducing PAPR. When it comes to minimizing the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) Systems, PTS is one of the most effective approaches that may be used.

These animals have a suite of biological characteristics that contribute to their successful establishment, including long reproductive seasons, rapid growth rates, and resistance to pollution. Here, we sequenced a fragment of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene to characterize symbiont diversity and host-specificity in the solitary species Syela clava and Ascidiella aspersa, and the colonial species Didemnum vexillum.

To understand these mechanisms, here we investigated iTRAQ based proteomic profiling of diatom in a multifactorial experimental with a combining change of temperature and silicate concentrations. In total, 3369 differently abundant proteins were detected in four different environmental conditions, and the function of all proteins was identified using Gene Ontology and KEGG pathway analysis.

Metabolites, steroids and fatty acids are abundant in crude compounds of ascidian and showed potential zone growth inhibition against bacterial strains (10 mm). The active crude compounds of exhibited prominent larvicidal activity against the Zika vector mosquitoes of (LC values of 0.

Our results showed that >30 metabolites were detected in three seaweeds, among these, steroids and fatty acids are the most dominant chemical group that highly contributes to discriminate this species. The PCA of GC-MS mass spectral variables showed a clear discrimination between three different species based on the phytochemical diversity of seaweeds.

We performed untargeted metabolomics using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in two invasive ascidian species to investigate the inter-specific chemical diversity of and in search of drug-like properties and metabolic pathways. The chemical profiling of individual ascidian species was obtained using GC-MS, and the metabolites were determined by searching in NIST library and literature data.

Two non-indigenous solitary ascidians Ascidiella aspersa and Corella eumoyta were recorded for the first time in shellfish farms at this location. Both invasive ascidians have the potential to greatly reduce mussel production in Killary Fjord by competing with shellfish for food and habitat.

A total of 71 metabolites were reported among these alkaloids, fatty acids and lipids are the most dominant chemical group. Multivariate statistical analysis, principal component analysis (PCA) showed a clear separation according to chemical diversity and taxonomic groups.
