Transition-edge sensors (TESs) have the potential to perform electron spectroscopic measurements with far greater measurement rates and efficiencies than can be achieved using existing spectrometers. Existing spectrometers filter electrons by energy before detecting a narrow band at time, discarding vast majority of available for measurement. In contrast, TESs intrinsic sensitivity so do not require prior filtering energy-resolved measurements. Despite this fundamental advantage, TES...

Porous GaN distributed Bragg reflectors offer an opportunity to provide the high reflectance, lattice-matched components required for efficient vertical cavity surface emitting lasers. The birefringence of these structures is, therefore, key interest as it could be used control polarization emitted light. Here, we present a detailed analysis optical both laterally etched, patterned and self-assembled radial porous structures. We correlate this with 3D structure pores, which measure through...

Twenty-five patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma were treated bleomycin-radiotherapy protocol, 15 mg bleomycin I.V. on alternate days followed by radiation within half an hour. The average total dose of was 150 mg. Radiotherapy given daily. Two lost to follow-up very early in the course treatment removed from study for statistical purposes. Thirty-six who radiotherapy alone during same period used as controls. two years. incidence response rate did not differ significantly...

Transition-edge sensors (TESs) are capable of highly accurate single particle energy measurement. TESs have been used for a wide range photon detection applications, particularly in astronomy, but very little consideration has given to their capabilities as electron calorimeters. Existing spectrometers require filtering optics achieve discrimination, this step discards the vast majority electrons entering instrument. no such filtering, meaning they could provide orders magnitude improvement...

The demand for bandwidth and interconnectivity in aerospace other defense networks systems continues to expand. To meet this while still satisfying the unique requirements of these systems, innovative approaches are needed. For future goals, they will need have high bandwidths that scalable particular applications. In addition, be very fault tolerant, protocol independent, non-blocking, low latency, power consumption small size. OptiComp Corporation has developed a network architecture where...

Heterogeneous integrated waveguide-grating-coupled VCSEL and REPD arrays have been demonstrated, achieving an output power of >1.4 mW per facet, VCSEL-to-photodetector data communication at 2.5 Gb/s through waveguide. Integrated WDM also achieved. This technology enables the realization VCSEL-based planar photonic circuits.

Integrated waveguide-grating-coupled VCSEL/RCEPD arrays with >1.4 mW/facet output power and VCSEL-to-photodetector data communication at >1.25 Gbps through an integrated waveguide have been demonstrated. This technology will enable practical applications using VCSEL-based photonic circuits.

Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) have a small form factor, low drive current, power dissipation, and natural two-dimensional integrability. However, the surface-normal cavity of VCSEL makes it difficult to integrate with in-plane waveguides other optoelectronic components planar photonic circuits. This obstacle can be overcome by embedding an optical waveguide within resonance VCSEL, utilizing grating couplers (WGC) diffract light from into (Louderback, 2005)....

Clinical trials play a vital role in the ongoing expansion of medical knowledge and healthcare. The way public perceives understands clinical research can influence regulatory policies, direct priorities, contribute to overall development sector. Barriers participation trials, such as distrust, insufficient awareness, misconceptions about research, have been recognized significant challenges. objective current study is "To assess Research Knowledge & Perception among participants." 158...

India has become a significant hub for clinical research (CR) in the past decade, marked by series of regulatory modifications aimed at promoting CR growth and safeguarding patient rights. Insufficient awareness trials been recognized as hindrance to participating such trials, challenge that may be particularly pertinent minority populations are frequently underrepresented.
