Dual-mode photoswitching of luminescence

Experimental observation of spatially resolved photo-luminescence intensity distribution in dual mode upconverting nanorod bundles

A novel method for demonstration of photoluminescence intensity distribution in upconverting nanorod bundles using confocal microscopy is reported. Herein, a strategy for the synthesis of highly luminescent dual mode upconverting/downshift Y1.94O3:Ho3+0.02/Yb3+0.04 nanorod bundles by a facile hydrothermal route has been introduced. These luminescent nanorod bundles exhibit strong green emission...

The Dual-mode Model

Dual-Mode Garbage Collection

The garbage collector presented in this paper makes use of two well known compaction garbage collection algorithms with very diierent performance characteristics: Cheney's two-space copying collector and Jonker's sliding compaction collector. We propose a scheme which allows either collector to be used. The run-time memory requirements of the program being executed are used to determine the mos...

Dual-mode spiral vortices.

We show that spiral vortices in oscillatory systems can lose stability to secondary modes to form dual-mode spiral vortices. The secondary modes grow at the vortex core where the oscillation amplitude vanishes but are nonlinearly damped by the oscillatory mode away from the core. Gradients of the oscillation phase, induced by the hosted secondary mode, can lead to additional hosting events that...

Real-time in vivo quantitative monitoring of drug release by dual-mode magnetic resonance and upconverted luminescence imaging.

Insufficient or excess drug doses, due to unknown actual drug concentrations at the focus, are one of the main causes of chemotherapy failure for cancers. In this regard, the real-time monitoring of the release of anticancer drugs from nanoparticle drug delivery systems is of crucial importance, but it remains a critical and unsolved challenge. Herein, we report the proposal and development of ...
