The continuous increase of the average laser power of ultrafast lasers is a challenge with respect to the thermal load of the processing optics. The power which is absorbed in an optical element leads to a temperature increase, temperature gradients, changing refractive index and shape, and finally causes distortions of the transmitted beam. In a first-order approximation this results in a change of the focal position, which may lead to an uncon-trolled change of the laser machining process. The present study reports on investigations on the focal shift induced in thin plano-convex lenses by a high-power ultra-short pulsed laser with an average laser power of up to 525 W. The focal shift was determined for lenses made of different materials (N-BK7, fused silica) and with different coatings (un-coated, broadband coating, specific wavelength coating).

Background And Aims: Competition with sympatric diploid progenitor(s) hinders the persistence of polyploids. The hypothesis that polyploids escape from competition through niche shifts has been widely tested; however, niche escape is unlikely to completely avoid competition. Given species growing in less favorable environments likely have weaker competitive abilities, we hypothesize that polyploid populations tend to persist in areas where their progenitors with relatively low habitat suitability.

Background: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women. Deregulation of miRNAs is frequently observed in breast cancer and affects tumor biology. A pre-miRNA, such as pre-miR-1307, gives rise to several mature miRNA molecules with distinct functions.

Introduction: Climate change is shaping adolescent and young people's (AYP) transitions to adulthood with significant and often compounding effects on their physical and mental health. The climate crisis is an intergenerational inequity, with the current generation of young people exposed to more climate events over their lifetime than any previous one. Despite this injustice, research and policy to date lacks AYP's perspectives and active engagement.

Accurately identifying the timing and frequency characteristics of impulse components in EEG signals is essential but limited by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Inspired by the visual system's ability to identify objects and their locations, we propose a new method that integrates a visual system model with wavelet analysis to calculate both time and frequency features of local impulses in EEG signals. We develop a mathematical model based on invariant pattern recognition by the visual system, combined with wavelet analysis using Krawtchouk functions as the mother wavelet.
