The simulations were accomplished using Finite Difference Time Domain Simulator (FDTD Simulator) based on the Finite Difference Time Domain Method. FDTD Simulator is sophisticated simulator and can take a significant amount of time to learn the complex features and it can run on a variety of operating systems. The primary advantage of FDTD over other full-wave models is that‚ FDTD being a time domain method allows broadband analysis of the antenna by Gaussian pulse excitation. The antenna characteristics

René Descartes (1596—1650) René Descartes is often credited with being the “Father of Modern Philosophy.” This title is justified due both to his break with the traditional Scholastic-Aristotelian philosophy prevalent at his time and to his development and promotion of the new‚ mechanistic sciences. His fundamental break with Scholastic philosophy was twofold. First‚ Descartes thought that the Scholastics’ method was prone to doubt given their reliance on sensation as the source for all knowledge

Ethical egoism is the normative theory that the promotion of one’s own good is in accordance with morality. In the strong version‚ it is held that it is always moral to promote one’s own good‚ and it is never moral not to promote it. In the weak version‚ it is said that although it is always moral to promote one’s own good‚ it is not necessarily never moral to not. That is‚ there may be conditions in which the avoidance of personal interest may be a moral action. In an imaginary construction

COST-VOLUME PROFIT (CVP) ANALYSIS This is a technique used for planning short-term run profits by finding the relationship between profits and factors that influence profits. The following factors are taken to be influencing profits:- • Selling price • Variable cost of production • Fixed costs • Activity level (production and sales units) Profit planning is based on break-even analysis and can be worked out using either; a) Algebraic method b) Contribution method c) Break-even

Daniel Tan PHIL 10200 How does a person determine what is a clear and distinct idea? In other words‚ is there any way of knowing what is certain and what is not? The Meditations are generally considered the starting point of modern Western philosophy‚ and with good reason. In this one brief text‚ Descartes turns many of the old doctrines‚ created by Aristotle‚ upside down and frames many of the questions that are still being debated in philosophy today. Among other things‚ Descartes breaks

AN INTRODUCTION TO CONIC SECTIONS There exists a certain group of curves called Conic Sections that are conceptually kin in several astonishing ways. Each member of this group has a certain shape‚ and can be classified appropriately: as either a circle‚ an ellipse‚ a parabola‚ or a hyperbola. The term "Conic Section" can be applied to any one of these curves‚ and the study of one curve is not essential to the study of another. However‚ their correlation to each other is one of the more intriguing
