We report an experimental study on optical and magneto-optical properties of Cesubstituted yttrium iron garnet thin films incorporating gold nanoparticles. Au nanoparticles were formed by heating Au thin film on cubic quartz and garnet substrate in vacuum chamber and a Ce:YIG layer was deposited on them by the aid of Pulsed laser deposition method. A large enhancement of the longitudinal Kerr e...

Late-life depression (LLD) is a common complex mood disorder with high comorbidity of both psychiatric and physical diseases, cognitive decline, increased mortality. The mechanisms underlying LLD are incompletely understood. heterogeneity complicates research into the mechanisms, factors involved in may differ from those early-life depression. This narrative review provides an overview (micro-)...

Objectives While cognitive bias in younger adults with depression has been extensively researched, there have relatively few investigations of the presence late life (LLD). This exploratory study aimed to ascertain whether negative exists across a range domains participants LLD. Methods/Design Participants were 19 patients LLD and matched non-depressed older adults. completed standardised tests...

Laser direct deposition provides an attractive and cost effective means for repairing or remanufacturing high value engineering components. This study demonstrates the successful repair of defective voids in turbine airfoils based on a new semi-automated geometric reconstruction algorithm and a laser direct deposition process. A Boolean difference between the original defective model and the fi...

Functional magnetic resonance imaging recordings in the resting-state (RS) from the human brain are characterized by spontaneous low-frequency fluctuations in the blood oxygenation level dependent signal that reveal functional connectivity (FC) via their spatial synchronicity. This RS study applied network analysis to compare FC between late-life depression (LLD) patients and control subjects. ...
