We present a difference frequency generator (DFG) based on 2-mm-long MgO-doped aperiodically-poled lithium-niobate (APPLN) crystal with linearly-varying poling-period. The DFG was pumped by femtosecond fiber-laser system repetition-rate of 53.4 MHz. It produced broadband mid-infrared light source having an instantaneous-bandwidth covering 1.9–4.6 μm, average power 30 mW. Moreover, numerical sim...

Brooding in invertebrates serves to protect embryos from stressful external conditions by retaining progeny inside the female body, effectively reducing the risk of pelagic stages being exposed to predation or other environmental stressors, but with accompanying changes in pallial fluid characteristics, including reduced oxygen availability. Brooded embryos are usually immobile and often encaps...

The success of the first approved kinase inhibitor imatinib has spurred great interest in the development of type II inhibitors targeting the inactive DFG-out conformation, wherein the Phe of the DFG motif at the start of the activation loop points into the ATP binding site. Nevertheless, kinase inhibitors launched so far are heavily biased toward type I inhibitors targeting the active DFG-in c...

The predicted growth of broadband services, has led to extensive research for high capacity systems and networks. Current efforts are concentrated on the investigation of optical time-division multiplexing (OTDM) techniques combined with wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) in order to fully utilize the potential of the installed fibers. All-optical switches, which can route a signal spatiall...

We present straightforward proofs of estimates used in the adiabatic approximation. The gap dependence is analyzed explicitly. We apply the result to interpolating Hamiltonians of interest in quantum computing.

Branching annihilating random walk (BARW) is a generic term for a class of interacting particle systems on Z in which, as time evolves, particles execute random walks, produce offspring (on neighbouring sites) and (instantaneously) disappear when they meet other particles. Much of the interest in such models stems from the fact that they typically lack a monotonicity property called attractiven...
