Pregnancy-specific glycoproteins (PSGs) are immunoglobulin superfamily members encoded by multigene families in rodents and primates. In human pregnancy, PSGs are secreted by the syncytiotrophoblast, a fetal tissue, and reach a concentration of up to 400 ug/ml in the maternal bloodstream at term. Human and mouse PSGs induce release of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-10 and TGFβ1 from mon...

The study investigates the therapeutic value of Lagerstroemia speciosa ethanolic green and red leaf extracts against Lauric acid (LA) a Ketogenic diet (KGD) in Albino rats. is an important constituent breast milk, forming nutritional factors having various medicinal values. It present 6.2% human 3.1% goat 2.9% cow milk. also found plant sources like coconut, cohune, palm kernel oil. uses fat, p...

We provide a new algorithm that translates a unitary matrix into a quantum circuit according to the G = KAK theorem in Lie group theory. With our algorithm, any matrix decomposition corresponding to type-AIII KAK decompositions can be derived according to the given Cartan involution. Our algorithm contains, as its special cases, CosineSine decomposition (CSD) and Khaneja-Glaser decomposition (K...

We report a SIMPLE test experiment based on a prototype CF3I superheated droplet detector with a total exposure of 0.024 kgd. The result, despite the low exposure, is seen to provide restrictions on the allowed phase space of both spinindependent and -dependent interactions which can be compared with those from the significantly larger searches in assessing the potential impact of a full-scale ...

We present a study of the actuality of acousto-optics devices capable to withstand high-power laser emission. Some applications and specifics were considered, and the first assessment of parameters of the devices on KGd(WO4)2 single crystal was made. New acousto-optics modulator on that crystalline material for non-polarized high-power light radiation was developed, tested and shown almost 100%...

A KGd(WO₄)₂ Raman laser was pumped within the cavity of a cw diode-pumped InGaAs semiconductor disk laser (SDL). The Raman laser threshold was reached for 5.6 W of absorbed diode pump power, and output power up to 0.8 W at 1143 nm, with optical conversion efficiency of 7.5% with respect to the absorbed diode pump power, was demonstrated. Tuning the SDL resulted in tuning of the Raman laser outp...

Thin Nd-doped potassium gadolinium tungstate @KGW or KGd~WO4!2# films are grown by pulsed laser deposition by ablation of a stoichiometric monocrystal target. Rutherford backscattering, x-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and waveguide propagation analyses are performed. The as-grown films are optically active, as evidenced by the photoluminescence spectra centered at 1.068 mm. In some ...
