We propose two new methods for measuring tangential peculiar velocities of rich clusters of galaxies. Our first method is based on weak gravitational lensing and takes advantage of the differing images of background galaxies caused by moving and stationary gravitational potentials. Our second method is based on measuring relative frequency shifts between multiple images of a single strongly len...

In this work, we fabricated a biaxially stretchable light-emitting diode (LED) display based on wavy structured-metal electrode grid packaged together with LED chips. The micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) fabrication process was utilized to fabricate the wavy-structured metal connections and rigid islands. resulting can be readily bent, rolled, stretched even washed no degradation of its i...

Background: Based on Chicago Classification version 3.0, the disorders of esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO) include achalasia (types I, II and III) and EGJOO. Although no curative treatments are currently available for the treatment of the disorders of EGJOO, medical treatments, endoscopic pneumatic dilation (PD), laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM), and per-oral endoscopic myo...

We describe a new conjecture involving Fully Packed Loop counting which relates (via the Razumov–Stroganov conjecture) recent observations of Thapper to formulae in the Temperley–Lieb model of loops.
