Study on Polarization Reconfigurable Patch Antennas
Abstract: When we consider a microstrip patch antenna, the main important feature that is been emphasized in recent years is about polarization reconfigurability. These reconfigurable antennas are providing multiple degrees of freedom to the antenna designers because they are able to radiate in one or more polarization states. The detailed study made on polarization antennas are broadly classified into two types: simple feed structure and complex feed structure. Multiple polarizations reconfigurable …

Advanced Magnesium-Based Metallic GlassComposites for Biomedical Implant Applications: AMachine-Learning-Informed Approach
Abstract: Magnesium-based bulk metallic glasses (Mg-BMGs) combine strength, low density, and tunable degradability. Their amorphous matrix has a small plastic process zone. This zone is only about 4 μm wide. A small process zone keeps most glasses brittle. Adding a second phase is the best fix. This chapter extends Mg-BMGs to true composites. We call these Mg-based bulk metallic glass composites, or Mg- BMGCs. The chapter covers matrix engineering and interfacial …

Rural electrification through micro-grid design case study
Abstract: We introduce the design and experimental demonstration of a scalable DC micro-grid for rural electrification in the developing regions. The distributed control of the grid voltage is one of the main features of the DC micro-grid architecture, which allows both instantaneous power sharing and a metric for available grid power. A droop-voltage power-sharing scheme is utilized wherein the bus voltage decreases in response to low supply/high demand. Besides that, the …

Seismic Wisdom in Stone: Structural Logic of Indian Temple Architecture
Abstract: Indian temple architecture has long been admired for its aesthetic perfection, ritual symbolism, and constructional ingenuity. Less celebrated – but equally remarkable – is its inherent seismic wisdom. Drawing upon textual canons (Vāstu Vidyā), geometric discipline (square and mandala-based layouts), and refined masonry craft, historic temples across India exhibit a suite of architectural and structural features that collectively enhance earthquake performance. This paper synthesizes evidence from classical treatises and modern …
