Zero-mode-waveguides (ZMWs) are subwavelength apertures on metal films. They are fabricated at the CNF with a lift-off process using electron-beam lithography (Figure 1). We further process these structures for biological studies by topping the surface with polyethylene glycol, and selectively coating the inside of the ZMWs with 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP) functionalized polymer. Using fluorescence...

On a two-dimensional cake, there are m pairwise-disjoint toppings. It is required to cut the cake to m + b pieces, such that each topping is entirely contained in a unique piece, and the total number of empty pieces (b, ”blanks”) is minimized. The minimal number of blanks naturally depends on the geometric constraints of the cake and its pieces. I present tight bounds on the number of blanks wh...

In general, the quality of fruits depends on local conditions experienced by the fruit during its development. In cotton, fruit quality, and more specifically the quality of the fibre in the fruit, depends on interactions between fruit position in the plant architecture, temperature and agronomic practices, such as sowing time, mulching with plastic film and topping of the plant's main stem and...
