A facile one-step route was developed to synthesize crystalline CuGeO₃ nanowire/graphene composites (CGCs). Crystalline CuGeO₃ nanowires were tightly covered and anchored by graphene sheets, forming a layered structure. Subsequently, CGCs were exploited as electrode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs). The reversible formation of Li₂O buffer layer and elastic graphene sheets accommodated...

Hybrid sol-gel technology was used for fabrication of prototypes of coaxial two, three and four telescopes beam combiners for astronomical applications. These devices were designed for the astronomical J-band and have been characterized using an optical source with emission centered at 1265 nm and with a spectral FWHM of 50 nm. Interferometric characterization of the two, three and four beam co...

Neurons in the parietal cortex represent spatial memory of visual stimuli in an eye-centered coordinate frame. To preserve spatial stability across eye movements, spatial memory must be updated during each eye movement. Because eye movement signals in the parietal cortex are known to be modulated by eye position in the orbit, estimates of eye displacement on the basis of these signals could als...

Sungchan Park, Seung Kyu Lee, Young Hwan Ji, June Kim, Young Min Kim, Kyung Hyun Moon From the Departments of Urology and Pathology, Ulsan University Hospital, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Ulsan, Korea Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare intraepithelial adenocarcinoma. To date, about 200 cases of EMPD have been reported since the first report in 1889. There has been only o...

The cumulative rate of childhood eczema during the first three years was studied in a birth cohort of 1265 New Zealand infants. A parental history of eczema was the strongest predictor of rates of childhood eczema but parental asthma was also related to childhood eczema. Children exposed to an early diverse solid-food diet also had increased risks of eczema, but there was no evidence to suggest...

1265-Plat Predicting Charged-Ligand Binding from Molecular Simulations David L. Mobley1, Gabriel J. Rocklin2. Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA, USA, Biochemistry, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA. We seek to use molecular simulations to predict and understand protein-ligand interactions. Our approach uses so-called "alchemical" free energy calculat...

Octave-spanning Kerr combs bridging the spectral windows of near-infrared region (NIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) are expected in a number applications, including high-capacity coherent optical communications, gas molecular absorption footprints. Here, we propose novel concentric dual-ring microresonators (DRMs) for advanced dispersion engineering to tailor comb profile. The can be flexibly enginee...
