The lensing behavior of sinusoidal phase gratings is studied in the limit of large phase amplitudes phi. The resulting asymptotic expressions are compared with the exact results and are shown to represent excellent approximations even for moderate values of phi. They are well suited to a quantitative description of focusing imperfections caused by the strong spherical aberrations encountered in this type of microlens array.

The role of delta phase for temporal predictions investigated with bilateral parietal tACS.

Background: Previous research has shown that temporal prediction processes are associated with phase resets of low-frequency delta oscillations in a network of parietal, sensory and frontal areas during non-rhythmic sensory stimulation. Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) modulates perceptually relevant brain oscillations in a frequency and phase-specific manner, allowing the assessment of their functional qualities in certain cognitive functions like temporal prediction.
Objective: We addressed the relation between oscillatory activity and temporal prediction by using tACS to manipulate brain activity in a sinusoidal manner.
Blood flow dynamics in the arterial and venous parts of the capillary.

Although there is currently sufficient information on various parameters of capillary blood flow, including the average values of blood velocity, there is no data on the dynamics of velocity and the mechanisms of its modulation in various parts of the capillary. The main idea of this work is to develop a tool and image data processing to study the characteristics of the capillary blood flow dynamics. In this study, using the developed method of high-speed videocapillaroscopy, the red blood cells (RBC) velocities in the arterial and venous parts of the nailfold capillaries were compared and a time-frequency analysis of the dynamics of the velocity signals with the calculation of phase coherence was performed.

The chemical structure of nine imidazolium sulfonate and triflimide zwitterionic liquids (ZILs) were systematically tuned to increase their thermal stability for gas chromatography (GC) separations. Substituents for imidazolium and 2-phenylimidazolium cation systems, comprised of alkyl, benzyl, and oligoether groups of varying chain lengths, were studied as stationary phases in GC. Propanesulfonate, ethanesulfonate, and propanetriflimide anions were examined to understand the effect of linker length and nucleophilicity on ZIL thermal stability.

In this multicenter phase Ib trial, we investigated the combination of CPX-351 and gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Cohort A received CPX-351 plus a single dose of GO, while cohort B received two doses of GO. Thirteen participants received investigational treatment.

In this paper, we propose a vascular tumor growth model that combines a phase-field tumor model with a phase-field angiogenesis model. By incorporating various tumor cell species, we capture the instabilities of the tumor in the presence of evolving neovasculature. The model not only considers different dynamics of tumor cell phase conversions, movement, and pressure effects but also provides a comprehensive representation of angiogenesis, encompassing chemotaxis of endothelial cells, sprouting, anastomoses, and blood flow in capillaries.
