We present a systematic process of theoretical design and experimental fabrication of the large mode area and large negative dispersion photonic crystal fiber. An easily fabricated fiber structure is proposed. The influence of structure parameters deviations from the design on the chromatic dispersion are evaluated and a design rule is given. Finally our fabricated fiber and test results are demonstrated. The measured effective area of inner core mode is 40.7 mum(2) which is the largest effective area of high negative dispersion photonic crystal fibers that have been experimentally fabricated. The measured peak dispersion is -666.2ps/(nm.km) and the bandwidth is 40nm.

A halobenzene molecule contains several sites that are capable of acting in an electron-donating capacity within a H-bond. One set of such sites comprise the lone electron pairs of the halogen (X) atoms on the periphery of the ring. The π-electron system above the ring plane can also fulfill this function in many cases.

This review discusses the chemical properties, synthesis and detection, and biological functions of a molecular group of cis-2-unsaturated fatty acids, containing fatty acid carbon chains of various lengths and cis double-bond configurations, known as the diffusible signaling factor family (DSFF). Early postulation of the conserved nature of the DSFF among Gram-negative bacteria have now been challenged by the latest evidences that unraveled their presence in a various other distinct microorganisms. Over the last decade, a significant depth and breadth of understanding has been made on the multifaceted functions of DSFFs among bacteria, and their interactions with evolutionarily divergent fungi, plants insects and small animals.

This global study analyzed data from the largest dataset ever studied in the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) biofeedback field, comprising 1.8 million user sessions collected from users of a mobile app during 2019 and 2020. We focused on HRV Coherence, which is linked to improved emotional stability and cognitive function.

: Tamoxifen (TAM) is an anti-breast cancer drug suffering from acquired resistance development, prompting cancer relapse. Propranolol (PRO)'s repurposing for cancer therapy has gained interest. This work aimed to investigate combined TAM/PRO therapy for potentiating the anti-breast cancer activity of TAM.
