Published: October 2008

In this paper, the polarization response of a GaAs based two-photon absorption microcavity photodetector has been studied. The deviation in the dependence of the detector response from that of bulk GaAs is shown to be due to the birefringence of the cavity. A theoretical model based on the convolution of the cavity birefringence and the polarization dependence of two-photon absorption in GaAs is described and shown to match the measured polarization dependence of the microcavity detector very well.

Fluorescence characterization of halophilic archaeal C50 carotenoid-bacterioruberin extracts was investigated using UV/Vis and steady-state fluorescence spectrophotometry in solvents with different polarity. Different extracts showed maximum absorption and fluorescence wavelengths between 369-536 nm and 540-569 nm. Stokes' shifts varied between 50-79 nm depending on the solvent.

A four-level model of political polarization over science: Evidence from 10 European countries.

Citizens' trust in science increasingly depends on their political leaning. Structural equation models on survey data from 10 European countries ( = 5306) demonstrate that this can be captured by a model with four levels of generalization. Voters of populist parties distrust the in general, which indirectly fuels a broad science skepticism.

Bioactive materials from berberine-treated human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells accelerate tooth extraction socket healing through the jaw vascular unit.

Delayed tooth extraction socket (TES) healing can cause failure of subsequent oral implantation and increase socioeconomic burden on patients. Excessive amounts of M1 macrophages, apoptotic neutrophils (ANs), and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) impair alveolar bone regeneration during TES healing. In the present study, we first discovered that conditioned medium (CM) collected from berberine-treated human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BBR-HB-CM) accelerated TES healing.

Dengue Virus Fusion Peptide Promotes Hemifusion Formation by Disordering the Interfacial Region of the Membrane.

Membrane fusion is the first step in the infection process of the enveloped viruses. Enveloped viruses fuse either at the cell surface or enter the cell through endocytosis and transfer their internal genetic materials by fusing with the endosomal membrane at acidic pH. In this work, we have evaluated the effect of the Dengue virus fusion peptide (DENV FP) on the polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated lipid mixing of vesicles (hemifusion formation) at pH 5 and pH 7.
