We propose an improved method to retrieve the effective constitutive parameters (permittivity
and permeability) of a slab of metamaterial from the measurement of S parameters. …

The compressive, flexural and splitting tensile strength of cement mortar has been measured
and interpreted in terms of its porosity. The authors first reviewed the existing porosity–…

… The right of Xudong Chen to be identified as the author of … Chen has started from the
fundamentals of electromagnetic … Chen should be lauded for spending the effort to write this book…

Understanding the strain rate effects on cement-based materials are important for accurately
modeling concrete structure damage to high-velocity impact and blast loads. This paper …

As the fraction of electricity generation from intermittent renewable sources—such as solar
or wind—grows, the ability to store large amounts of electrical energy is of increasing …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), which consist of central metal nodes and organic linkers,
constitute a fast growing class of crystalline porous materials with excellent application …

Information security with optical means, such as double random phase encoding, has been
investigated by various researchers. It has been demonstrated that optical technology …

Municipal solid waste management (MSWM) in China warrants particular attention as China
has become the largest MSW generator in the world and the total amount of MSW it …

We discuss possible improvements in the efficiency of dye-sensitized photovoltaic cells using
dyes capable of singlet fission into two triplets, thus producing two electron−hole pairs from …

In this Letter, we propose a method for optical image encryption based on diffractive imaging.
An optical multiple random phase mask encoding system is applied, and one of the phase-…
