Recent advances in miniaturized optical gyroscopes

Recent advances in optical tweezers.

It has been over 20 years since the pioneering work of Arthur Ashkin, and in the intervening years, the field of optical tweezers has grown tremendously. Optical tweezers are now being used in the investigation of an increasing number of biochemical and biophysical processes, from the basic mechanical properties of biological polymers to the multitude of molecular machines that drive the intern...

Recent Advances in Transport Modeling for Miniaturized Cmos Devices (invited)

With the rapid feature size reduction of modern semiconductor devices accurate description of hot-carrier phenomena is becoming very important. Frequently used carrier transport models are the traditional drift-diffusion model and energytransport models which also consider the average carrier energy as an independent solution variable. Recent results show, however, that the average energy is in...

Recent Advances in Hemophilia Gene Therapy

Heterogeneous loss of function mutations at F8 and F9 genes causes X-linked recessive bleeding disorders, hemophilia A (HA) and hemophilia B (HB), respectively. HA is clinically indistinguishable from HB and accounts for more than 80% of hemophilia cases; the former affects 1/5000 and the latter 1/25000 male births worldwide. In Iran, it is estimated that around 4300 HA and 900 HB patients are ...

Recent advances in diffuse optical imaging.

We review the current state-of-the-art of diffuse optical imaging, which is an emerging technique for functional imaging of biological tissue. It involves generating images using measurements of visible or near-infrared light scattered across large (greater than several centimetres) thicknesses of tissue. We discuss recent advances in experimental methods and instrumentation, and examine new th...
