Published: August 2009

We investigate numerically and analytically the effects of gain saturation on the propagation of the fundamental mode in a gain-guided index-antiguided slab waveguide. The propagating mode adapts to gain saturation by becoming less confined, while at the same time its peak intensity increases more slowly. At steady state, both the mode shape and the power remain constant.

The molecular basis for the liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) behavior of various biomolecular components in the cell is the formation of multivalent and low-affinity interactions. When the content of these components exceeds a certain critical concentration, the molecules will spontaneously coalesce to form a new liquid phase; i.e.

Objective: This study examined the lived employment experiences of young adults with childhood and adult-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Methods: Participants were recruited from three Canadian lupus clinics and asked to complete, semi-structured, qualitative video/phone interviews. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using thematic analysis.

Currently, bacterial classification at the species level relies on the 95-96% average nucleotide identity (ANI) value that is known to be equivalent to a 70% digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) value. However, during the routine identification of bacteria in the uteri of camels with a history of conception failure, we found that four out of the seven strains (2298A, 2569A, 2652, 2571B, 1103A, 2571A, and 335C) could not be assigned to any valid species. Furthermore, a 70% dDDH value did not correspond to a 95-96% ANI value in strain 2569A.

Stress, psychosocial resources and possible interventions: a qualitative study among dental students.

BMC Med Educ

December 2024

Institute of Occupational, Social and Environmental Medicine, Centre for Health and Society, Heinrich Heine University and University Hospital Düsseldorf, Moorenstr. 5, Düsseldorf, 40225, Germany.

Background: Prior studies found that dental students are affected by various stressors during their studies. Those stressors can exert adverse effects on their (mental) health. Our study addresses the lack of qualitative data on students' perspectives by exploring perceived stressors and resources among dental students and interventions suggested by them.

Gain Saturation of Encapsulated CdTe-Ag Quantum Dot Composite in SiO.

Nanomaterials (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Optics & Cogno-Mechatronics Engineering, Pusan National University, Busan 46241, Republic of Korea.

Amplified spontaneous emission of CdTe and CdTe-Ag quantum dot composites were compared for increasing the optical stripe length, whereby optical gain coefficients for various emission wavelengths were obtained. In the case of CdTe-Ag nanoparticle composites, we observed that plasmonic coupling causes both optical enhancement and quenching at different wavelengths, where the amplified spontaneous emission intensity becomes enhanced at short wavelengths but suppressed at long wavelengths (>600 nm). To analyze the logistic stripe length dependence of amplified spontaneous emission intensity, we used a differential method to obtain the gain coefficient beyond the amplification range.
