Control over structure and composition of (ABO3) perovskite oxides offers exciting opportunities since these materials possess unique, tunable properties. Perovskite oxides with cobalt B-site cations are particularly promising, as the range of the cation's stable oxidation states leads to many possible structural frameworks. Here, we report growth of strontium cobalt oxide thin films by molecul...

background penile fracture is a relatively rare urologic emergency. it is defined as traumatic rupture in tunica albuginea of corpus cavernosum. traditionally, surgeon explores the penis in full-length by complete degloving of its skin and repairs any defect in the tunica. imaging modalities such as ultrasound and mri may be of help to reveal the exact site of tunica defect preoperatively for t...

The properties of photonic crystal (PC) filters in one-dimensional photonic crystal (1D PC) containing a defect layer are studied theoretically using the transfer matrix method. The effect of thickness of defect layers is studied. It is shown that one defect mode and two defect modes appear inside the forbidden band gaps in its reflection spectra. By changing the thickness of the defect layer, ...

BACKGROUND The parapapillary gamma zone has recently been defined as the parapapillary region free of Bruch's membrane. Although it has been reported the presence of defects in peripapillary gamma zone, hitherto undescribed is the herniation of the retinal nerve fiver layer tissue into the peripapillary gamma zone defect with the resulting localized defects in the retinal nerve fiber layer. C...

We report experimental results on the defect turbulent state of undulation chaos in inclined layer convection of a fluid with Prandtl number approximately 1. By measuring defect density and undulation wave number, we find that the onset of undulation chaos coincides with the theoretically predicted onset for stable, stationary undulations. At stronger driving, we observe a competition between o...

A case of tamoxifen retinopathy examined with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is presented. The typical refractile deposits are located between ganglion cell layer and inner plexiform layer in SD-OCT. A defect on the outer retinal layer with disruption of the photoreceptor layer with sharp edges is seen. The still attached posterior hyaloids gives evidence of other pathome...
