The effects of anion solvation by N(2)O on photoelectron angular distributions are revisited in light of new photoelectron imaging results for the NO(-)(N(2)O)(n), n = 0-4 cluster anions at 266 nm. The new observations are examined in the context of the previous studies of O(-) and NO(-) anions solvated in the gas phase by nitrous oxide [Pichugin; et al. J. Chem. Phys. et al. 2008, 129, 044311.; Velarde; et al. J. Chem. Phys. et al. 2007, 127, 084302.]. The photoelectron angular distributions collected in the three separate studies are summarized and analyzed using bare O(-) and NO(-) as zero-solvation references. Solvent-induced deviations of the angular distributions from the zero-solvation reference are scaled by solvation number (n) to yield solvent-induced anisotropy differentials. These differentials, calculated identically for the O(-)(N(2)O)(n) and NO(-)(N(2)O)(n) cluster series, show remarkably similar energy dependences, peaking in the vicinity of a known electron-N(2)O scattering resonance. The results support the conclusion that the solvation effect on the photoelectron angular distributions in these cases is primarily due to resonant interaction of photoelectrons with the N(2)O solvent, rather than a solvent-induced perturbation of the parent-anion electronic wave function.

Numerical modeling of conventional spin-stop agitation of liquid drug products for automated visual inspection.

The inspection of liquid-filled vials and syringes using automated visual inspection (AVI) machines is a common practice in pharmaceutical production lines. Liquid drug products are typically agitated using a spin-stop motion to detach particles from the interior surface of the containers, thereby maximizing the probability of their detection. A numerical model for an ISO 8362-1 6R glass vial was developed and validated to qualitatively assess the agitation process for a range of motion profiles, liquid drug product properties, and fill volumes.

Partial wave analysis is key to interpretation of the photoionization of atoms and molecules on the attosecond timescale. Here we propose a heterodyne analysis approach, based on the delay-resolved anisotropy parameters to reveal the role played by high-order partial waves during photoionization. This extends the Reconstruction of Attosecond Beating By Interference of Two-photon Transitions technique into the few-photon regime.

Recently, vortex beams have been widely studied and applied because they carry orbital angular momentum (OAM). It is widely acknowledged in the scientific community that fractional OAM does not typically exhibit stable propagation; notably, the notion of achieving stable propagation with dual-fractional OAM within a single optical vortex has been deemed impracticable. Here, we address the scientific problem through the combined modulation of phase and polarization, resulting in the generation of a dual-fractional OAM vector vortex beam that can stably exist in free space.

Human medial parietal cortex (MPC) is recruited during multiple cognitive processes. Previously, we demonstrated regions specific to recall of people or places and proposed that the functional organization of MPC mirrors the category selectivity defining the medial-lateral axis of ventral temporal cortex (VTC). However, prior work considered recall of people and places only and VTC also shows object-selectivity sandwiched between face- and scene-selective regions.

Generating computer-generated holograms (CGHs) for 3D scenes by learning-based methods can reconstruct arbitrary 3D scenes with higher quality and faster speed. However, the homogenization and difficulty of obtaining 3D high-resolution datasets seriously limit the generalization ability of the model. A novel approach is proposed to train 3D encoding models based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) using 2D image datasets.
