A new transmission ellipsometric method-based on an eight-zone measurement-allows determination of birefringent properties of transparent systems and samples. In addition to well-known magnitudes (relative retardation Delta and polarization-dependent loss angle Psi) of reflection ellipsometry, two additional magnitudes-orientation of the optical axis phi and pseudoactivity angle rho-have to be ascertained. With a transmission ellipsometer working automatically on the basis of an eight-zone measuring method we attained resolution and reproducibility which is 1-2 decades better than that of commercial research reflection ellipsometers.

Introduction: There is a paucity of information regarding providers' attitudes toward gastric-protective strategies with concurrent use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). We aimed to assess gastric-protective strategies used upon prescribing NSAIDs and providers' awareness of societal guidelines for preventing NSAID-induced gastric complications.
Methods: A standardized 10-item questionnaire was sent to all orthopedic providers in North Carolina and South Carolina.

High-throughput DNA transformation techniques are invaluable when generating high-diversity mutant libraries, a cornerstone of successful protein engineering. However, transformation efficiencies have a direct correlation with the probability of introducing multiple DNA molecules into each cell, although reliable library screenings require cells that contain a single unique genotype. Thus, transformation methods that yield a high multiplicity of transformations are unsuitable for high-diversity library screenings.

The twenty-first century presents a serious threat to public health due to the growth in antibiotic resistance among opportunistic bacteria, particularly within the ESKAPE group, which includes Enterobacter species with high morbidity, mortality, virulence, and nosocomial dissemination rates. Enterobacter species, especially Enterobacter cloacae, bacteria have developed resistance to multiple antibiotics through mechanisms, such as continuous production of AmpC beta-lactamase. In this study, a comprehensive bioinformatics approach was employed to analyze the genome of Enterobacter cloacae, utilizing sequence data from GenBank (ID: OW968328.

In the field of psychological science, behavioral performance in computer-based cognitive tasks often exhibits poor reliability. The absence of reliable measures of cognitive processes contributes to non-reproducibility in the field and impedes the investigation of individual differences. Specifically in visual search paradigms, response time-based measures have shown poor test-retest reliability and internal consistency across attention capture and distractor suppression, but one study has demonstrated the potential for oculomotor measures to exhibit superior reliability.

Forests play a critical role in the global carbon cycle, with carbon storage being an important carbon pool in the terrestrial ecosystem with tree crown size serving as a versatile ecological indicator influencing factors such as tree growth, wind resistance, shading, and carbon sequestration. They help with habitat function, herbicide application, temperature regulation, etc. Understanding the relationship between tree crown area and stock volume is crucial, as it provides a key metric for assessing the impact of land-use changes on ecological processes.
