Abstract We demonstrate theoretically the feasibility of correlated entangled photon-pair generation with vanishing threshold in a bimodal cavity setup that uses single V -type three level atom pumped by dual incoherent sources and driven two coherent fields. The is shown to be only for low levels pumps owes its origin solely drives. Our results show pumping no drive can lead amplification fiel...

the present research is aimed at investigating how the politeness of the speakers of urdu is influenced by their relative social status in society. the researcher took politeness theory of brown and levinson (1978, 1987) as a model. to observe politeness of urdu speakers, speech act of apology with different strategies was selected. a discourse completion task (dct) was used as an instrument to...

In last decades 20th century, decline brown hare populations has been observed many European countries. this study, we documented long-term (1965–2018) population field forest mosaic central Poland (from over 30 ind./100 ha mid-1960s 1–2 past decade). We...

parathyroid adenoma involving a single parathyroid gland is the underlying cause of 80-85% of primary hyperparathyroidism (phpt). skeletal system is significantly affected by phpt. brown tumors are known to have affinity for 99mtc-mibi. we report a rare case of phpt presenting with diffuse bony pain, high calcium level and significantly elevated alkaline phosphatase level. 99mtc-pertechnetate/9...
