Grazing incidence nanogap resonance in the prism-gap-ferromagnet magneto-plasmonic Otto configuration.

In this Letter, we calculate the optical and magneto-optical reflectivity in a dielectric/gap/ferromagnet excited by a -polarized monochromatic optical beam through the prism (Otto configuration) as a function of the angle of incidence and the gap thickness . Besides the well-known surface plasmon polariton (SPP resonance at  ∼ ), we find a new, to the best of our knowledge, resonance with a nanometric gap  ∼ 10 nm at a large  ∼ 80°. Both resonances display pronounced resonant behavior in the transverse magneto-optical Kerr effect (T-MOKE).

Soluble Membrane Attack Complex (sMAC) as a Potential Diagnostic Biomarker Differentiating Acute Viral Encephalitis from Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a Post-infectious Autoimmune State.

Acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) presents with the onset of fever, altered sensorium and/or seizures, known to be caused by various infectious and non-infectious aetiological agents, among which viruses are the commonest. The severity of AES prompts rapid diagnosis, which is not met by time-consuming conventional diagnostic techniques. In this study, archived cerebrospinal fluid samples of laboratory-confirmed viral AES, an acute infectious condition and Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), a post-infectious, autoimmune condition was assessed for soluble membrane attack complex (sMAC) using ELISA.

Anxiety in aquatics: Leveraging machine learning models to predict adult zebrafish behavior.

Accurate analysis of anxiety behaviors in animal models is pivotal for advancing neuroscience research and drug discovery. This study compares the potential of DeepLabCut, ZebraLab, and machine learning models to analyze anxiety-related behaviors in adult zebrafish. Using a dataset comprising video recordings of unstressed and pre-stressed zebrafish, we extracted features such as total inactivity duration/immobility, time spent at the bottom, time spent at the top and turn angles (large and small).

Role of intuition on problem solving style-Mediating effect of mindfulness.

The present study investigates the mediating effect of mindfulness on the role of intuition upon problem solving style among university students in India. 755 university and college students in India (Male = 310, Female = 445) completed a questionnaire that contained items of types of intuition scale (TintS) developed by Pretz et.al.
