CONCENTRIC RING OPTICAL TRAPS FOR ORBITAL ROTATION OF PARTICLES

Concentric ring optical traps for orbital rotation of particles

Optical vortices (OVs), as eigenmodes of optical orbital angular momentum, have been widely used in particle micro-manipulation.Recently, perfect optical vortices (POVs), a subclass of OVs, are gaining increasing interest and becoming an indispensable tool in optical trapping due to their unique property of dyna gel topological charge-independent v

Perceptual inequality between two neighboring time intervals defined by sound markers: correspondence between neurophysiological and psychological data

Brain activity related to time estimation processes in humans was analyzed using a perceptual phenomenon called auditory temporal assimilation.In a typical stimulus condition, two neighboring time intervals (T1 and T2 in this order) are perceived as equal even when the physical lengths of these time intervals are considerably different.Our previous

Using Partial Budgeting Analyses to Analyze Profitability of Commercial Pumpkin Production, Standardize Bin Size Categories, and Understand Bin Sorting Accuracy

Pumpkins (Cucurbita sp.) are currently sold in retail commercial sigma lambda gamma line jacket bins categorized based on fruit size.There are no standards for these fruit sizes, thus creating discrepancies across the industry.Furthermore, there is not a published partial budget analysis for pumpkin fruit yield based on plant area.An observational

Rare Plasmid-Mediated AmpC Beta-Lactamase DHA-1 Located on Easy Mobilized IS26-Related Genetic Element Detected in Escherichia coli from Livestock and Food in Germany

AmpC beta-lactamases cause resistance to third-generation cephalosporins, including beta-lactamase inhibitors.In Escherichia coli from the German food production chain, the majority of AmpC beta-lactamase activity can be attributed to plasmid-mediated CMY-2 or overproduction of chromosomal AmpC beta-lactamase, but occasionally other enzymes like DH
