Analysis of accident injury-severity outcomes: The zero-inflated hierarchical ordered probit model with correlated disturbances (2018)
Journal Article
Fountas, G., & Anastasopoulos, P. C. (2018). Analysis of accident injury-severity outcomes: The zero-inflated hierarchical ordered probit model with correlated disturbances. Analytic Methods in Accident Research, 20, 30-45

In accident injury-severity analysis, an inherent limitation of the traditional ordered probit approach arises from the a priori consideration of a homogeneous source for the accidents that result in a no-injury (or zero-injury) outcome. Conceptually... Read More about Analysis of accident injury-severity outcomes: The zero-inflated hierarchical ordered probit model with correlated disturbances.

A New Waveguide Slot Array Antenna with High Isolation and High Antenna Bandwidth Operation on Ku- and K-bands for Radar and MIMO Systems (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alibakhshikenari, M., Virdee, B. S., See, C. H., Abd-Alhameed, R., Falcone, F., & Limiti, E. (2018, September). A New Waveguide Slot Array Antenna with High Isolation and High Antenna Bandwidth Operation on Ku- and K-bands for Radar and MIMO Systems. Presented at 2018 15th European Radar Conference (EuRAD), Madrid

In this paper a novel technique is proposed to reduce the mutual coupling between the radiating elements of a waveguide slot array antenna. This is achieved by inserting slots between the waveguide oval shaped slots. The reference waveguide array ant...
