    Abstract: In this paper, topographic data for line-of-sight (LOS) communication link between Eket and Akwa Ibom state University are used to validate the frequency scaling factors for computing the radius of the Fresnel zone, Fresnel-Kirchoff diffraction parameter and the number of Fresnel zones that are partially or fully blocked by single knife edge obstru...

    Abstract: Langevin bolted transducers (BLT) with two piezoelectric ceramics inserted between the front and rear plates are widely used in ultrasonic cleaner transducers and components of underwater acoustic antennas for a fish finder [1, 2]. And it is very important to attain a maximum ratio of vibrating velocities of the front and rear plates of transducers... Show More

    Abstract: The modified eutectic silicon or refinement of primary silicon particles with uniform distribution are desired in real casting practice. In order to modify the microstructure of Al-Si alloys, many techniques are available. However the deliberate additions of several elements during melting are still the most easy and efficient way than other differ... Show More
