This paper proposes a detailed design study of resonating high-frequency notch filters driven by RF MEMS switches and their optimization for dual-band operation in the X-Band. Microstrip configurations will be considered for single and dual-band applications. An SPDT (single-pole-double-thru) switch composed of double-clamped ohmic microswitches has been introduced to connect triangular resonators with Sierpinski geometry, symmetrically placed with respect to a microstrip line to obtain a dual notch response. Close frequencies or spans as wide as 2 GHz can be obtained depending on the internal complexity and the edge side. The internal complexity has been modified to introduce the possibility of using the same edge size for the frequency tuning of an elementary cell, maintaining a fixed footprint, and allowing coupled structures to implement high-frequency filters of the same size and variable operational frequencies. Preliminary experimental results have been obtained as a confirmation of the predicted device functionality.

We report the synthesis and characterization of thiol-stabilized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), functionalized with bis(pyrazole)pyridine ligands (L4 and 10), and their subsequent assembly into rectangular nano/microstripes using a lithographically controlled wetting (LCW) technique. The resulting microstructured patterns, with widths of ∼2 μm and heights of 150-200 μm, were employed to simultaneously explore spin crossover (SCO) behavior and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) properties. Compound 10 exhibited SCO behavior with a molar magnetic susceptibility () of ∼3.

We present a systematic investigation of the optical response to circularly polarized illumination in twisted stacked plasmonic nanostructures. The system consists in two identical, parallel gold triskelia, centrally aligned and rotated at a certain angle relative to each other. Sample fabrication was accomplished through a novel multilevel high-resolution electron beam lithography.

Purpose: To describe a case of two arterial rings of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA)-the anterior communicating artery (ACoA) complex diagnosed by magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).
Methods: A 72-year-old woman with a brain tumor underwent cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MRA using a 3-Tesla scanner. MRA was performed using a standard 3-dimensional time-of-flight technique.

The properties of architected materials, such as origami, kirigami, and lattice materials, are determined by the intrinsic properties of the base material and the designed architecture. It is shown that van der Waals interaction between the elements of the architecture is critical for the mechanical properties of nano-architected triangular graphene. Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that interplay between the flexibility and high Young's modulus of graphene, the designed architecture, and the van der Waals interaction between graphene ligaments results in a shape memory effect with a specific energy dissipation of more than 25 times that of the well-known shape memory alloy NiTi.

Harbor seals, equipped with their uniquely structured whiskers, demonstrate remarkable proficiency in tracking the trajectories of prey within dark and turbid marine environments. This study experimentally investigates the wake-induced vibrations of an elastically supported whisker model placed in the wakes of circular, square, and equilateral triangular cylinders of varying dimensions. Thereafter, a machine learning model is trained to identify and classify these intrinsic responses.
