	abstract = {A Novell compact multiband broadside coupled split ring resonator (BC-SRR) metamaterial structure fractal loaded slot antenna for 4G and other wireless systems is presented in this article. The radiating elements of the proposed antenna are composed of a Perturbed Sierpinski carpet fractal slot printed on the lower face of an FR4 substrate material (epsilon(r)=4.4). The slots are fed by a single L-microstrip line of 50 Ohms characteristic impedance printed on the upper face of the substrate. The operating frequency bands of this antenna are, respectively, centered at 3.62, 6.244, 14.471, and 19.145 GHz and its total size is 28.5 mm x 40.5 mm x 1.5 mm. The introduction of the BC-SRR structure in the center of this antenna achieved an additional broadband ranging from 2.48 to 3.35 GHz with other additional frequency bands around 5.91, 6.76, 8.33, 10.38, 13.73, and 16.1 GHz (15.74-16.41 GHz). The gain and radiation pattern plots of the antenna are also included and discussed in this article. (c) 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 58:2823-2828, 2016},

We analysed the effect of the separation distance between the coupled lines on both the fractional bandwidth and group velocity of the filter response.

As an illustration of the proposed technique, we designed and measured a dual band and a tri-band filter for the frequencies covering the WiMAX/WLAN/X system bands demonstrating an excellent performance, with a fractional bandwidth covering the 40\% and 100\% of the FCC bandwidth respectively. The proposed technique alleviates the fabrication accuracy requirements. The designs show an optimal improvement in terms of group velocity flatness.},

	abstract = {Large scale grids permit to share grid resources spread over different autonomous administrative sites in the internet. The rapid progress of grid systems opens the door for numerous companies to adopt this technology in their business development. This progress is characterized by the increasing openness and opportunity of resource-sharing across organizations in different domains. In the business context, these shared resources can be misused by some malicious users that can abuse the provided resources and make them behave maliciously to return wrong results and sabotage the jobs execution. The common technique used by most grid systems to deal with this problem is based on replication with voting. Nevertheless, these techniques rely on the assumption that the grid resources behave independently. They may be ineffective where a number of collusive resources collectively return the same wrong results of a job execution. In order to overcome this threat, we propose a reputation-based voting (RBV) approach, which investigates the trustworthiness of the grid resources through a reputation system, and then takes a decision about the results. In addition, the performance of our approach and other voting techniques, like m-first voting and credibility-based voting, are evaluated through simulation to perceive the effect of collusive grid resources on the correctness of the results. The obtained results show that our approach achieves a lower error-rate and better performance in terms of overhead.},

	abstract = {Smart Grid is the most outstanding engineering achievement of the 21st century in power systems. This is an emerging technology that is revolutionizing the conventional electric grid by providing new services based mainly on information Communication technology (ICT), which is considered to be its main enabler. Besides the different opportunities and advantages offered by ICT, Smart Grid suffers from its inherent challenges, especially, at the level of cyber-security. Consequently, there are several security threats that may affect Smart Grid. These can be divided into three categories, namely, people and policy threats, platform threats and network threats. To address these threats several approaches and mechanisms were developed based on cryptographic methods, authentication protocols and firewalls. This paper is dedicated to an overview study on Smart Grid Cyber-security challenges and to the different approaches available to address the different security threats.},

Based on the transmission line theory approach (TLTA), the calculator herein proposed is a good solution to simply obtain the design parameters of this type of filters given that all formulas required for the PCMBPF design are programmed using close-form mathematic expressions and the coupling matrix concept. In order to validate our calculator performance, we implemented the proposed filter in a commercial electromagnetic simulator CST MWs that considers a set of electromagnetic effects, and accurately determine the final filter design. Secondly, we compared these simulation outcomes with the measurement results, achieving a reasonable agreement.},
