A model is developed for studying the acoustic behavior of a cMUT array. This model is based on separate calculations of the terms describing the behavior of a single cMUT on one hand, and those corresponding to acoustic mutual coupling on the other hand. The terms are combined into an equivalent circuit with matrix terms which displays only one degree of freedom per cell. This approach allows the simulation of several dozen cMUTs considered individually with a very short computer time. A Finite Difference model is used for the simulation of an isolated cell radiating acoustic energy and the determination of its equivalent electromechanical circuit. It is shown for various mutual coupling situations that the coupling between cells can be correctly approximated using a very simple mutual impedance term. The model is compared with experimental results, using a set of different cMUT configurations. Experimental results were obtained with electrical impedancemetry and laser interferometry techniques performed in fluid immersion.

An eight-element MIMO antenna with a neutralization line was utilized for future 5G mm-wave applications. The MIMO configuration was designed for two ports, four ports and eight ports to validate the desired impedance and radiation characteristics. The measured results in terms of MIMO and scattering parameters correlate well with the simulated one.

Same-gender couples typically appear as examples of complete egalitarianism. However, previous studies indicate that same-gender couples may also involve role specialization. We conducted 24 life history interviews with people in a same-gender relationship, cohabiting for at least one year in Chile, with the aim to explore distributions of housework and childcare and the ways interviewees justify their arrangements.

The transition metal single atoms (SAs)-based catalysts with M-N coordination environment have shown excellent performance in electrocatalytic reduction of CO, and they have received extensive attention in recent years. However, the presence of SAs makes it very difficult to efficiently improve the coordination environment. In this paper, a method of direct high-temperature pyrolysis carbonization of ZIF-8 adsorbed with Ni and Fe ions is reported for the synthesis of Ni SAs and FeN nanoparticles (NPs) supported by the N-doped carbon (NC) hollow nanododecahedras (HNDs) with nanotubes (NTs) on the surface (Ni SAs/FeN NPs@NC-HNDs-NTs).
