A simple and accurate method to determine the pitch of a cholesteric substance is the observation of disclination lines in a Grandjean-Cano-wedge [1—3] . However, from the position of these lines nothing can be said about the sense of rotation of the cholesteric helix. The determination of the sense is often made by either an additional experiment [4] or by a special construction of the wedge a...

The morphological characteristics of the eyes and the retinae of lanternfish larvae of Lampanyctus crocodilus, Benthosema glaciale, and Myctophum punctatum were analyzed in pre-flexion, flexion, and post-flexion stages. Pre-flexion larvae of L. crocodilus, the species with the shallowest depth distribution, had spherical eyes located antero-laterally on a strongly laterally-compressed head, sug...

Case report 2 full-term silvery marmosets (Ca/lithrix argentata) were born to young adults housed on exhibition in the Charles Clore pavilion at London Zoo. The litter comprised 1 female which was stillborn and 1 male born alive of equal size. The stillborn female weighed 35 g and showed distinct deformities of the hands and feet. The facial appearance was flattened and there were a number of d...

Breast cyst fluid (BCF) contained in gross cists is involved with its many biomolecules in different stages of breast cystic development. Type I apocrine and type II flattened cysts are classified based on biochemical, morphological and hormonal differences, and their different patterns of growth factors and active biocompounds may require different regulation. In a previous paper, hyaluronic a...

We present flattened convolutional neural networks that are designed for fast feedforward execution. The redundancy of the parameters, especially weights of the convolutional filters in convolutional neural networks has been extensively studied and different heuristics have been proposed to construct a low rank basis of the filters after training. In this work, we train flattened networks that ...

Abstract With just a month of data, JWST is already transforming our view the universe, revealing and resolving starlight in unprecedented populations galaxies. Although “HST-dark” galaxies have previously been detected at long wavelengths, these observations generally suffer from lack spatial resolution, which limits ability to characterize their sizes morphologies. Here we report on first sub...

Macroscopic arrays of highly-crystalline nanocarbons offer the possibility modifying electronic structure their low dimensional constituents, for example through doping, and studying resulting collective bulk behaviour. Insertion electron donors or acceptors between graphitic layers is an attractive method to reversibly increase charge carrier concentration without disruption sp2-conjugated sys...

The power consumption of modern highly complex chips during scan test is significantly higher than the consumed functional mode. This leads to substantial heat dissipation, excessive IR drop, and unrealistic timing failures integrated circuits (ICs) under test. In this brief, a ByPassable Scan Data Retention Flip-Flop (BPS-DRFF) proposed for low-power IC flip-flop contains two secondary latches...

The flattening filter free (FFF) X-rays can provide much higher dose rate at the treatment target compared to the conventional flattened X-rays. However, the substantial increase of dose rate for FFF beams may affect the ion recombination correction factor, which is required for accurate measurements using ionization chambers in clinical dosimetry. The purpose of this work is to investigate the...
