introduction: trichophyton rubrum is one of the most common species of dermatophytes which affects superficial keratinous tissue. it is not especially virulent but it can be responsible for considerable morbidity. although there are different therapeutic modalities to treat fungal infections, clinicians are searching for alternative treatment because of the various side effects of the present t...

For decades, scientists and engineers have been fascinated by cybernetic organisms, or cyborgs, that fuse artificial and natural systems. Cyborgs enable harnessing biological systems that have been honed by evolutionary forces over millennia to achieve astounding feats. Male moths can detect a single pheromone molecule, a sensitivity of roughly 10 grams. Thus, cyborgs can perform tasks at scale...

Vallabhan Cochin University of Science and Technology International School of Photonics Laser Division Cochin 682 022, India Abstract. Pulsed photoacoustic studies in solutions of C70 in toluene are made using the 532-nm radiation from a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser. It is found that contrary to expectation, ...

III The use ofdiode lasers instead ofHashlamps as optical pump sources for solid state lasers offers significant advantages such as higher efficiency and longer lifetime. We have demonstrated three novel lasers based on this technology. The first is a zig-zag slab laser pumped by hybrid planar microchannel-cooled diode arrays that allow high-repetition-rate operation in a pulsed mode. The secon...

Proton linacs with very high beam power constitute the first part in the production chain for different applications. Proton beams of several tens of MW can be used to yield an extremely high flux of neutrons and other secondary particles. Hence, possible applications range from accelerator driven transmutation of nuclear waste and spallation neutron sources to irradiation installations for mat...

Flip-flops (FFs) are key building blocks in the design of high-speed energyefficient microprocessors, as their data-to-output delay (D-Q) and power dissipation strongly affect the processor’s clock period and overall power [1]. From previous analyses [2], the Transmission-Gate Pulsed Latch (TGPL) [3] proved to be the most energy-efficient FF in a large portion of the design space, ranging from ...

Since the Russian launch of the Zond-2 satellite in 1964 there have been over fifty years of research dedicated to the understanding of the first electric propulsion device to be flown in space, the Pulsed Plasma Thruster. The Pulsed Plasma Thruster originates from the evolution of the vacuum arc switch, but due to its microsecond operation time, the internal dynamics and nature of operation ha...

Medium voltage direct-current based integrated power system is projected as one of the solutions for powering the all-electric ship. It faces significant challenges for accurately energizing advanced loads, especially the pulsed power load, which can be rail gun, high power radar, and other state of art equipment. Energy storage based on supercapacitors is proposed as a technique for buffering ...
