We propose and demonstrate a compact electro-optic reconfigurable two-mode (de)multiplexer using the configuration of cascaded Mach-Zehnder interferometers formed on thin-film X-cut lithium niobate on silica. Our fabricated device, which is 9.5-mm long, can spatially switch between the two transverse-electric modes with an efficiency higher than…[Read more]

71. In patients with appendiceal adenocarcinoma as a cause for fistula, there were significantly more females than males with a ratio of 2.31.

In conducting a systematic review of case reports of fistulae involving the appendix, we identified 301 unique case reports, with a range of different sites and aetiologies.

In conducting a…[Read more]

The SCL-9S is a fast, structurally valid, and reliable tool for screening general psychological distress among men and women in psychiatric in- and outpatient services, and in combination with other instruments, it will be useful in epidemiological studies.Zika virus (ZIKV) is a widespread flavivirus transmitted to humans through the bite of Aedes…[Read more]

es with an excess of positive charges and antioxidant residues rendered molecules with high neurotoxicity. Single, 30 min exposition of the GBM and NB cell lines to the selected bola dendrimers significantly suppressed their clonogenic potential.

Peptide dendrimers with non-symmetric bola structure are excellent scaffolds for design of…[Read more]

Fish perform many complex manipulation behaviors without hands or flexible muscular tongues, instead relying on more than 20 movable skeletal elements in their highly kinetic skulls. How fish use their skulls to accomplish these behaviors, however, remains unclear. Most previous mechanical models have represented the fish skull using one or more…[Read more]
