Rosai-Dorfman disease is a rare condition with poorly understood pathogenesis at this time. Although it often involves the lymph nodes, it can present nearly anywhere at extranodal sites. Patients are frequently asymptomatic, but surgical debulking is currently the only method of treatment that has shown benefit for patients requiring intervention.

The transition between two distinct ionization mechanisms in femtosecond laser fields at 785 nm is observed for C molecules. The transition occurs in the investigated intensity range from 3 to 20 TW/cm and is visualized in electron kinetic energy spectra below the one-photon energy (1.5 eV) obtained via velocity map imaging.

Objective: To compare the effects of 2 physical training programs on multiple fitness measures in police cadets.
Design: Cohort study.
Strong laser fields can be used to trigger an ultrafast molecular response that involves electronic excitation and ionization dynamics. Here, we report on the experimental control of the spatial localization of the electronic excitation in the C_{60} fullerene exerted by an intense few-cycle (4 fs) pulse at 720 nm. The control is achieved by tailoring the carrier-envelope phase and the polarization of the laser pulse.

This ultrafast VUV pulse is synchronized with an infrared (IR) laser pulse to study dissociative ionization in deuterium molecules. At a VUV photon energy of 16.
