Osteoporosis: Common Questions and Answers.

Osteoporosis affects 10.2% of adults older than 50 years and is expected to increase to 13.6% by 2030.

Optical response of hyperbolic metamaterials with adsorbed nanoparticle arrays.

Experimental studies of have been recently performed to determine the optical effect of adsorption of arrays of gold nanoparticles, NPs (16 nm or 40 nm in diameter) on reflective substrates (Ma , , 2018, , 4604-4616; Ma , , 2020, , 328-336) and on transparent interfaces (Montelongo , , 2017, 16, 1127-1135). As predicted by the theory (Sikdar , , 2016, , 20486-20498), a reflection quenching effect was observed on the reflective substrates, in the frequency domain centred around the nanoparticle localised plasmon resonance. Those results showed a broad dip in reflectivity, which was deepening and red-shifting with increasing array densities.

Monitoring Quality Across Home Visiting Models: A Field Test of Michigan's Home Visiting Quality Assurance System.

Introduction In order to achieve the positive outcomes with parents and children demonstrated by many home visiting models, home visiting services must be well implemented. The Michigan Home Visiting Initiative developed a tool and procedure for monitoring implementation quality across models referred to as Michigan's Home Visiting Quality Assurance System (MHVQAS). This study field tested the MHVQAS.

Electrochemical plasmonic metamaterials: towards fast electro-tuneable reflecting nanoshutters.

Self-assembling arrays of metallic nanoparticles at liquid|liquid or liquid|solid interfaces could deliver new platforms for tuneable optical systems. Such systems can switch between very-high and very-low reflectance states upon assembly and disassembly of nanoparticles at the interface, respectively. This encourages creation of electro-variably reversible mirror/window nanoplasmonic devices.
