A monolithic non-linear transmission line and sampling circuit with reduced shock-wave-to-surface-wave coupling are presented herein. The synthetic connecting peptides result in the preferential synthesis of multispecific binding molecules comprising polypeptide chains that are linked via at least one interchain disulfide linkage. The stacked patch antenna array includes a ground plane that is common to each planar patch array antenna. Further provided by the present invention are adhesive compositions comprising invention gem-diesters and epoxidized derivatives thereof. A candidate minimum asset value that maximizes the value may then be selected.
