Metasurfaces have been extensively investigated due to their ability tailor the amplitude, phase, and polarization of electromagnetic waves at subwavelength scales. However, most research has focused on planar metasurfaces. This limited applicability since curved geometries are required in numerous applications. In this article, wave propagation radial direction cascaded, cylindrical structures...

The design and implementation of a web-based diagnostic support tool for melanoma dermatological images and related diagnostic data is presented. The proposed system is semantic web-based and is driven by exploiting the combination of AJAX framework and topic map technology. A novel client/server architecture was developed that enables several clients to interact online with the topic map-based...

Early diagnosis is the most reliable solution for an effective treatment of melanoma. There is an ongoing research effort to develop computer aided imaging tools and functional content-based image retrieval systems as diagnostic support to dermatologists. Following this spirit, a Topic Map based management and retrieval system for melanoma images has been developed. Currently, this research wor...

The theory of Agreement By Correspondence has gained prominence as a way to explain harmony patterns, especially long-distance consonant agreement (Rose & Walker 2004, Hansson 2010). Bennett (2015) observes that the theory also generates Dissimilation, even with no further assumptions made (ergo ‘ABCD’). This connection between dissimilation and assimilation is an appealing result, as it was in...

Partially coherent Lorentz-Gauss beams can propagate by remaining spatially localized and non-divergent. The Gaussian beams and after a bit application of Lorentz function, the Lorentz-Gauss beams are a better tool for optical communication. Analytical formulae for spatial complex degree of coherence are derived. In this paper mathematical model of Lorentz-Gauss beams is derived in terms of ABC...

Ciguatoxins are a family of marine toxins composed of transfused polycyclic ethers. It has not yet been clarified at the atomic level on the pathogenic mechanism of these toxins or the interaction between a polycyclic ether compounds and a protein. Using the crystal structures of anti-ciguatoxin antibody 10C9 Fab in ligand-free form and in complexes with ABCD-ring (CTX3C-ABCD) and ABCDE-ring (C...
