Background Ranibizumab (Lucentis) is an antibody fragment with high binding affinity for all isoforms of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGF-A) and is specifically developed for intraocular use. Since its introduction in 2007 it has been administered increasingly and in our hospital approximately 1650 intravitreal injections were given in 2013. Ranibizumab is injected monthly and in most...

We discuss properties of baryon resonances belonging to the N , ∆, Σ, Λ, Ξ and Ω families in a collective string-like model for the nucleon, in which the radial excitations are interpreted as rotations and vibrations of the string configuration. We find good overall agreement with the available data. The main discrepancies are found for low lying S-wave states, in particular N(1535), N(1650), Σ...

We propose an efficient optical coupler between a submicrometer-sized silicon waveguide on a silicon photonic chip and a multi-micrometer wide polymer waveguide on an optical printed circuit board for interchip optical networks. We show low coupling loss <0.4 dB with high lateral and angular tolerance to misalignment so that coupling can be done by automatic pick-and-place equipments with high ...
