We present a new numerical method to calculate the optimum lens transformation to implement on a monochromatic laser beam path, in order to maximize its coupling to the fundamental Gaussian mode of a resonator or to a single-mode optical fiber whose mode can be described as Gaussian to a good approximation. This method relies on a useful…[Read more]

ied in clinical settings. Copyright © 2020 Nasios, Bakirtzis and Messinis.Genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), previously called idiopathic generalized epilepsies, constitute about 20% of all epilepsies, and include childhood absence epilepsy, juvenile absence epilepsy, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, and epilepsy with generalized tonic-clonic…[Read more]

The study also highlighted that 31.2% of patients with disorders of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism were overweight or obese. The incidence of these disorders differs depending on whether patients were under triple therapy including protease inhibitors or not. © Djagadou Kodjo Agbeko et al.Introduction Heart failure (HF) is a health problem in…[Read more]

In this study, we developed a method to analyze liposomal binding to a cell membrane receptor using fluorescence-labeled liposomes and demonstrated that scavenger class B type 1 (SR-B1) plays a crucial role in binding of liposomes containing phosphatidylcholine (PC) to HEK293T cell membrane and phosphatidic acid (PA) can modulate it. Site-directed…[Read more]

We detail the theoretical basis for this new approach and set out six steps for developing multi-layered contribution pathways and contribution stories with stakeholders to document both the process and outcomes of social learning. The proposed method, we argue, can strengthen our analytical capacity to uncover the structural drivers and barriers…[Read more]

The developed theoretical machinery is applied for predicting aromaticity distribution patterns in large and infinite multiple zigzag chains Zm,n and for computing the distribution of spin densities in biradical states of finite multiple zigzag chains Zm,n.Past attempts to define an anaerobic threshold (AnT) have relied upon gas exchange kinetics,…[Read more]

The findings provided deep insight into the prescription-formulating principle in DZXX for treating the cerebrovascular diseases. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Broad application of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and ubiquitous lead (Pb) pollution may increase the possibility of combined exposure of humans. Information on the combined effects of rGO…[Read more]

A compact D-D fast neutron generator system was developed with an emphasis on imaging applications. It is equipped with an electron cyclotron resonance microwave ion source, an electric field method electron suppression electrode, and a rotating beam target. The design, mechanical assembling, and initial performance of the system is presented in…[Read more]

Patients with neck pain and headache-the first non-ischemic symptoms of arterial dissection-frequently access a physical therapist as a first point provider who may or may not have specialist training in orthopedic manual physical therapy (OMPT). All physical therapists irrespective of their training, who are helping patients manage neck pain,…[Read more]
