ON DECOMPOSITION-BASED SURROGATE-ASSISTED OPTIMIZATION OF LEAKY WAVE ANTENNA INPUT CHARACTERISTICS FOR BEAM SCANNING APPLICATIONS

On Decomposition-Based Surrogate-Assisted Optimization of Leaky Wave Antenna Input Characteristics for Beam Scanning Applications

Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in reconfigurable antenna systems.Travelling wave antennas (TWAs) and leaky wave antennas (LWAs) are representative examples of structures featuring a great level of flexibility (e.g., straightforward implementation of beam scanning), relatively simple geometrical structure, Makeup Wipes Case low profi

The Genetic Diversity of Cranberry Crop Wild Relatives, Vaccinium macrocarpon Aiton and V. oxycoccos L., in the US, with Special Emphasis on National Forests

Knowledge of the genetic diversity in populations of crop wild relatives (CWR) can inform effective strategies for their conservation and facilitate utilization to solve agricultural challenges.Two crop wild relatives of the cultivated cranberry are widely distributed in the US.We studied 21 populations of Vaccinium macrocarpon Aiton and 24 populat
