The experimental results of light transmission through periodic array of H-shaped hole and more complicated hole which is a combination of multiple U shape are demonstrated. The observations indicate that the localized shape resonance in the longest resonant length of unfolded U-shaped part of the hole always appears. However, localized modes resonant in smaller U-shaped length don't always appear. Localized mode with non-U-shaped resonant path cannot be seen in our sample. In addition, localized mode with different order and resonant path can be excited by different polarized light.

Vertebrate vision in dim-light environments is initiated by rod photoreceptor cells that express the photopigment rhodopsin, a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR). To ensure efficient light capture, rhodopsin is densely packed into hundreds of membrane discs that are tightly stacked within the rod-shaped outer segment compartment. Along with its role in eliciting the visual response, rhodopsin serves as both a building block necessary for proper outer segment formation as well as a trafficking guide for a few outer segment resident membrane proteins.

Several lines of evidence suggest that bactofilins polymerize into filaments using a central β-helical core domain, flanked by variable N- and C-terminal domains that may be important for scaffolding and other functions. However, a systematic exploration of the characteristics of these domains has yet to be performed.

Objective: The optimal electrode positions, shapes and alignments for generating a desired current pattern in the brain vary between persons due to anatomical variability. The aim is to develop a flexible and efficient computational approach to determine individually optimal montages based on electric field simulations.

The commercial production of passion fruit is geographically limited (California, Florida, and Hawaii), but the development of cold-tolerant varieties could expand it beyond warm-climate states (Stafne et.al. 2023).

The SARS-CoV-2 virus caused the COVID-19 pandemic and brought major challenges to public health. It is transmitted via aerosols, droplets, and fomites. Among these, viral transmission through fomites is not well understood although it remains a very important transmission route.
