Heralded Generation of Correlated Photon Pairs from CdS/CdSe/CdS Quantum Shells.

Quantum information processing demands efficient quantum light sources (QLS) capable of producing high-fidelity single photons or entangled photon pairs. Single epitaxial quantum dots (QDs) have long been proven to be efficient sources of deterministic single photons; however, their production via molecular-beam epitaxy presents scalability challenges. Conversely, colloidal semiconductor QDs offer scalable solution processing and tunable photoluminescence, but suffer from broader linewidths and unstable emissions.

The wolf in sheep's clothing: vasovagal syncope in acute aortic dissection.

Background: The presentation of acute aortic dissection can pose a challenge for emergency physicians, as it may occur without pain. Atypical presentations can lead to significant delays in diagnosis and increased mortality rates.

Case Description: Our case illustrates that isolated painless syncope can be a rare presenting symptom of acute aortic dissection type A.

Green Light from Red-Emitting Nanocrystals: Broadband, Low-Threshold Lasing from Colloidal Quantum Shells in Optical Nanocavities.

Spherical semiconductor nanoplatelets, known as quantum shells (QSs), have captured significant interest for their strong suppression of Auger recombination, which leads to long multiexciton lifetimes and wide optical gain bandwidth. Yet, the realization of benefits associated with the multiexciton lasing regime using a suitably designed photonic cavity remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate broadly tunable lasing from close-packed films of CdS/CdSe/CdS QSs deposited over nanopillar arrays on Si substrates.

Gender Typicality, Pressure to Conform to Gender Norms, and Anti-Fat and Appearance Stereotypes in Girls.

This mixed-methods study investigated the relation among gender identity (i.e., self-perceived gender similarity to girls and boys; self-perceived parental and peer pressure to conform to gender norms) and stereotyping about weight (i.

Self-Reported Violence Experienced by Swiss Prehospital Emergency Care Providers.

Background: Workplace violence is a serious and increasing problem in health care. Nevertheless, only few studies were carried out concerning this topic and then mainly in English-speaking countries. The objectives were to describe the acts of violence experienced by prehospital emergency care providers (PECPs) in the western part of Switzerland between January and December 2016 and to assess the consequences for subsequent PECPs behaviors.
