Published: March 2011

The transmission of a normally incident wave through an array of subwavelength gold film with Z-shaped slits has been explored by using the finite-difference time-domain method. The results show that the transmission of a thinner metal film perforated with a Z-shaped slit array behaves nearly the same as that of a thicker metal film perforated with straight slit array with the same central slit length, which is useful for the miniaturization of the optical device. It is also presented that the transmission of a Z-shaped slit array sensitively depends on the slit geometrical parameters. By adjusting the width and length of each section of the Z-shaped slit, noticeable magnitude modification of the transmission, redshift, and blueshift of the resonance modes is found, which is useful for the design of frequency-selective and sensor optical devices.

Background: To explore the role of foveal and parafoveal Müller cells in the morphology and pathophysiology of tractional macular disorders with a mathematical model of mechanical force transmission.

Methods: In this retrospective observational study, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography images of tractional lamellar macular holes and patients with myopic foveoschisis were reviewed and analysed with a mathematical model of force transmission. Parafoveal Müller cells were modelled as a structure composed of three rigid rods, named R1, R2 and R3.

Three series of piglets with 10 animals in each were operated on with intrathoracic oesophageal anastomosis. In one series the ends of the oesophagus were brought together with single 6/0 silk sutures (S). In another series with the same suture material each oesophageal end was slit (C).
