A near-field to far-field projection algorithm is applied to a structure in the free-field case and generalized to a buried scatterer. The method of superposition is applied where the scattered field produced by the target may be approximated by the field produced by a number of point sources placed near the target. The source strengths are determined by requiring the field they produce to satisfy boundary conditions on the measurement surface. In the free-field case, the expression of the Green's function is simple. In the buried case, the two-domain Green's function may be expressed as an integral over special functions. Once the source strengths are determined, the far-field is computed as a superposition of the fields produced by the individual sources. The algorithm is tested on numerically generated data.

This study investigates the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic behavior of propellers operating in ground-effect conditions, with an emphasis on the impact of porous ground surface treatments. The investigation explores the potential of porous materials to reduce propeller noise near the ground, a major barrier to the acceptance and integration of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) systems. Experiments were conducted in an anechoic chamber using an APC [Formula: see text] inch propeller in a pusher configuration.

Optical vortex beams carrying orbit angular momentum have attracted significant attention recently. Perfect vortex beams, characterized by their topological charge-independent intensity profile, have important applications in enhancing communication capacity and optimizing particle manipulation. In this paper, metal-insulator-metal copper-coin type reflective metasurfaces are proposed to generate perfect composite vortex beams in X-band.

Background: Atypical atrial tachycardia (AT) is a commonly encountered rhythm disorder especially in patients with underlying atrial scar. Peak frequency (PF) annotation of bipolar electrograms is a novel method, which mainly aims to discriminate near-field and far-field signals.
Objective: To evaluate the association between PF annotation of low-voltage zones (LVZ) and deceleration zones (DZ) during sinus / paced rhythm and their role to predict the critical isthmus (CI) and termination sites of atypical ATs.

Current guidelines recommend cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) programming, including faster detection rates, longer detection durations, and strict discrimination for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) to prevent unnecessary ICD treatment. This delayed-style ICD programming could lead to a rise in the possibility of VF undersensing. To avoid this risk, an innovative algorithm known as VF Therapy Assurance (VFTA; Abbott, Sylmar, CA) has been developed.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAchiral metasurfaces with near-field optical chirality have attracted great attention in molecular sensing and chiral emission control. Here, the circular dichroism (CD) response of an achiral metasurface induced by spatially selective coupling with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) molecules is demonstrated. A designed achiral metasurface with a V-shaped resonator exhibits large optical chirality with a strongly dissymmetric distribution under circular polarization.
