Semiconductor nanostructures such as nanowires and nanoribbons functioning as Fabry-Pérot (F-P)-type optical cavities and nanolasers have attracted great interest not only for their potential use in nanophotonic systems but also to understand the physics of light-matter interactions at the nanoscale. Due to their nanoscale dimensions, new techniques need to be continuously developed to characterize the nature of highly confined optical modes. Furthermore, the inadequacy of typical far-field photoluminescence experiments for characterizing the nanoscale cavity modes such as parity and order has precluded efforts to obtain precise information that is required to fully understand these cavities. Here, we utilize a modified Young's interference method based on angle-resolved microphotoluminescence spectral technique to directly reveal the parity of F-P cavity modes in CdS nanostructures functioning as waveguides and nanolasers. From these analyses, the mode order can be straightforwardly obtained with the help of numerical simulations. Moreover, we show that the Young's technique is a general technique applicable to any F-P type cavities in nanoribbons, nanowires, or other photonic and plasmonic nanostructures.

Curvilinear incidence models for parity in the entire fertility range for cancers of the breast, ovary, and endometrium: A follow-up of the Norwegian 1960 Census.

The protective effect of parity has been demonstrated for cancer of the breast, ovary, and endometrium but no studies have estimated the effect of each subsequent birth in women with 10 or more children or grand-grand parity women, nor compared the linear relationship of the three cancers sites. Here, we aim to explore these relationships based on the Norwegian 1960 Census. The question of parity in present marriage was answered by 385,816 women born 1870-1915, a period with high fertility.

In this paper, a novel recurrent sigma‒sigma neural network (RSPSNN) that contains the same advantages as the higher-order and recurrent neural networks is proposed. The batch gradient algorithm is used to train the RSPSNN to search for the optimal weights based on the minimal mean squared error (MSE). To substantiate the unique equilibrium state of the RSPSNN, the characteristic of stability convergence is proven, which is one of the most significant indices for reflecting the effectiveness and overcoming the instability problem in the training of this network.

Passive error correction protects logical information forever (in the thermodynamic limit) by updating the system based only on local information and few-body interactions. A paradigmatic example is the classical two-dimensional Ising model: a Metropolis-style Gibbs sampler retains the sign of the initial magnetization (a logical bit) for thermodynamically long times in the low-temperature phase. Known models of passive quantum error correction similarly exhibit thermodynamic phase transitions to a low-temperature phase wherein logical qubits are protected by thermally stable topological order.

The crystallographic restriction theorem constrains two-dimensional nematicity to display either Ising (Z_{2}) or three-state-Potts (Z_{3}) critical behaviors, both of which are dominated by amplitude fluctuations. Here, we use group theory and microscopic modeling to show that this constraint is circumvented in a 30°-twisted hexagonal bilayer due to its emergent quasicrystalline symmetries. We find a critical phase dominated by phase fluctuations of a Z_{6} nematic order parameter and bounded by two Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transitions, which displays only quasi-long-range nematic order.

Objectives: Planning the mode of delivery of a full-term breech singleton remains a challenging task. The aim of this work is to compare the neonatal and maternal short-term outcomes after planned vaginal delivery and caesarean section and to evaluate the influence of an MRI pelvimetry on the short-term outcomes in order to provide appropriate advice to pregnant women with breech presentation.
Methods: This is a retrospective monocentric analysis of all deliveries with singleton pregnancies from breech presentation >36 + 0 weeks of gestation between 08/2021 and 09/2023.
