We demonstrate the MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuit) frequency doublers generating stable and low-cost 29 GHz local oscillator signals from 14.5 GHz input signals. These devices were designed and fabricated by using the M MIC integration process of $0.1\;{\mu}m$ gate-length PHEMTs (pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistors) and passive components. The measurements showed S11 or -9.2 dB at 145 GHz, S22 of -18.6 dG at 29 GHz and a minimum conversion loss of 18.2 dB at 14.5 GHz with an input power or 6 dBm. Fundamental signal of 14.5 GHz were suppressed below 15.2 dBe compared to the second harmonic signal at the output port, and the isolation characteristics of fundamental signal between the input and the output port were maintained above :i0 dB in the frequency range 10.5 GHz to 18.5 GHz. The chip size of the fabricated MMIC frequency doubler is $1.5{\times}2.2\;mm^2$.

From the equation of motion of a "bare" non-uniform beam (without any concentrated elements), an eigenfunction in term of four unknown integration constants can be obtained. When the last eigenfunction is substituted into the three compatible equations, one force-equilibrium equation, one governing equation for each attaching point of the concentrated element, and the boundary equations for the two ends of the beam, a matrix equation of the form [B]{C} = {0} is obtained. The solution of |B| = 0 (where ${\mid}{\cdot}{\mid}$ denotes a determinant) will give the "exact" natural frequencies of the "constrained" beam (carrying any number of point masses or/and concentrated springs) and the substitution of each corresponding values of {C} into the associated eigenfunction for each attaching point will determine the corresponding mode shapes. Since the order of [B] is 4n + 4, where n is the total number of point masses and concentrated springs, the "explicit" mathematical expression for the existing approach becomes lengthily intractable if n > 2. The "numerical assembly method"(NAM) introduced in this paper aims at improving the last drawback of the existing approach. The "exact"solutions in this paper refer to the numerical results obtained from the "continuum" models for the classical analytical approaches rather than from the "discretized" ones for the conventional finite element methods.

As IT-based technologies develop, 3D GIS applications that digitally model real environment are being increased. Although the terms related with 3D CIS are used increasingly, research efforts and applications are mostly limited to only 2D GIS or 3D modeling respectively. The reasons are viewed that there have been less research findings or software tools about integration of 2D GIS and 3B models. Thus, this study presents a method to integrate 2D GIS and 3D models by using database as the means for linkage. To illustrate the process, we developed a prototype application using C# language. Within an interface we showed how to integrate different libraries - EON Studio and MapObjects. We expect that the integration techniques we suggest here can be applied to such areas as disaster prevention, transportation and natural resources management.

We investigated the dynamical properties of the K2-3 multi-planet system. Recently three transiting planets are discovered using the extended Kepler2 (K2) mission (Crossfield et al. 2015). We extended their preliminary stability study by considering a substantial longer integration time. Since planet mass is not known from photometry we calculated exoplanets masses using empirical mass-radius relations (Weiss & Marcy 2014). Forward numerical integration was done using the MERCURY integration package (Chambers 1999). Our results demonstrate that this system is stable over a time scale of $10^8years$. Furthermore, we investigated the dynamical effects of a hypothetical planet in the semi-major axis vs eccentricity space. For stable orbits of the hypothetical planet we calculated transit-timing variation (TTV) and radial velocity signals. We find that for a hypothetical perturber with mass 1-13 Mjup, semi-major axis 0.2 - 0.8 AU and eccentricity 0.00-0.47 the following timing signals for the planet K2-3 b is ~ 5 sec, K2-3 c is ~ 130 sec and for K2-3 d is ~ 190 sec. The radial velocity signal of the hypothetical planet is ~ 4 m/s. Using typical transit-timing errors from the K2 mission, we find that the above hypothetical planet would not be detectable. Its radial velocity signal, however, would be detectable using the APF 2.4m telescope or HARPS at the ESO/La Silla Observatory in Chile.

Objective : This study examined the effects of vestibular sensory integration on the sensory processing, problem behavior, and auditory behavior in children who had cochlear Implants. Methods : This single-subject AB study was conducted for 11 weeks from August to November 2019 with three children with cochlear implants. A pre-test measure of each child's sensory processing and auditory behavior was recorded with the baseline on operationally defined behavioral problems as four incidents during 40 minutes of free play with an occupational therapist. The treatment period was 15 40-minute sessions of vestibular sensory integration. Behavioral problems were monitored and recorded during each treatment session. Once treatment was complete, a post-test was conducted on the children's sensory processing and auditory behavior. Results : The sensory processing and auditory behavior of all three participants improved after the vestibular-focused sensory integration, and diverse problem behaviors showed decreasing trends during the interventions. Conclusion : Vestibular sensory integration leads to positive changes in the sensory processing, problem behavior, and auditory behavior of children with cochlear implants.

The A. nidulans expression vector which contained trpC marker gene from A. nidulans was constructed to produce glucoamy]ase. The recombinant plasmid was introduced into auxotrophic mutant A. nidulans B17. Southern blot analysis of the genomic DNA from transformant showed that pKHG2 DNA had integrated into the A. nidulans chromosomes. Northern analysis of the total RNA from transform ant showed that mRNA of glucoamylase gene was synthesized in induction condition. Specific activity of glucoamylase was increased in transform ants. G]ucoamylase was shown to be active in non-denaturing acrylamide gel.

Free vibration analysis of thin shells is carried out by using isogeometric approach. For this purpose, a thin shell element based on Kirchhoff-Love shell theory is developed. Non-uniform rational B-spline surface (NURBS) definition is introduced to represent the geometry of shell and also used to derive all terms required in the isogeometric element formulation. Gauss integration rule is used for stiffness and mass matrices. The present shell element is then applied to examine vibrational behaviours of thin plate and shell structures. From numerical results, it is found be that reliable natural frequencies and associated mode shapes of thin shell structures can be predicted by the present isogeometric shell element.

This paper presents a fabrication technology for the integration of single crystal Si microstructures with on-chip circuitry. It is a dissolved wafer technique that combines an electro-chemical etch-stop for the protection of circuitry with an impurity-based etch-stop for the microstructures, both of which are defined in an n-epi layer on a p-type Si wafer. A CMOS op. amp. has been integrated with $p^{++}$ Si accelerometers using this process. It has a gain of 68 dB and an output swing within 0.2 V of its power supplies, unaffected by the wafer dissolution. The accelerometers have $3{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$ thick suspension beams and $15{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$ thick proof masses. The structural and electrical integrity of the fabricated devices demonstrates the success of the fabrication process. A variety of lead transfer methods are shown, and process details are discussed.

This paper suggests and demonstrates a novel flow measurement technique: tunable AC thermal anemometry that allows simple integration, robust measurement, and extremely high accuracy. The principle and simple theoretical analysis of the technique are presented. To find the optimal condition at which the phase lag becomes most sensitive to flow speed change, the phase lag was measured scanning the heating frequency from 1 to 100 Hz, while the flow speed of ethanol was increased stepwise from 0 to 40 mm/s. The sensitivity of phase lag depended on the heating frequency and the flow speed. It was possible to measure the flow speed of 0.7 mm/s with the resolution of 0.1 mm/s at 4 Hz.

This study was conducted to develop a selection marker for the identification of the Bacillus licheniformis K12 strain in microbial communities. The strain not only demonstrates good growth at moderate temperatures but also contains enzymes that catalyze the decomposition of various polymer materials, such as proteases, amylases, cellulases, lipases, and xylanases. To identify molecular markers appropriate for use in a microbial community, a search was conducted to identify variable gene regions that show considerable genetic mutations, such as recombinase, integration, and transposase sites, as well as phase-related genes. As a result, five areas were identified that have potential as selection markers. The candidate markers were two recombinase sites (BLK1 and BLK2), two integration sites (BLK3 and BLK4), and one phase-related site (BLK5). A PCR analysis performed with different Bacillus species (e.g., B. licheniformis, Bacillus velezensis, Bacillus subtilis, and Bacillus cereus) confirmed that PCR products appeared at specific locations in B. licheniformis: BLK1 in recombinase, BLK2 in recombinase family protein, and BLK3 and BLK4 as site-specific integrations. In addition, BLK1 and BLK3 were identified as good candidate markers via a PCR analysis performed on subspecies of standard B. licheniformis strains. Therefore, the findings suggest that BLK1 can be used as a selection marker for B. licheniformis species and subspecies in the microbiome.
