Optical vortex Laguerre-Gaussian (LGl) modes have wide-ranging applications due to their annular spatial form and orbital angular momentum. Their direct generation from a laser is attractive, due to the pure and high-power modes possible; however, previous demonstrations have had limited ranges of applicability. Here, we propose and implement direct LGl vortex mode generation with an anti-resonant ring (ARR) coupled laser cavity geometry, where the gain medium inside the ARR is shared between two laser cavities. This generation uses standard wavelength-insensitive optical components, is suitable for high peak and average power levels, and could be applied to any bulk gain medium in pulsed or continuous wave regimes. This work demonstrates the technique with a diode end-pumped Nd:YVO gain medium. From 24 W of pump power, 8.9 W LG and 4.3 W LG modes were generated, all with high mode purity and pure handedness. The LG mode handedness was controlled with a new technique.

Modelling growth of two monocytogenes strains, persistent and non-persistent: Effect of temperature.

Heliyon

December 2024

Department of Microbiology, Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Food Research Institute, National Agricultural and Food Centre, Priemyselná 4, 824 75, Bratislava, Slovakia.

Better growth is a phenotypic trait that can contribute to persistence of in food processing environments. To test the hypothesis objectively, persistent and non-persistent strains were selected and grown in different media to gain reliable quantitative growth characteristics. In this study, the effect of temperature in the range from 6 °C to 43 °C on the planktonic growth of genotypically and phenotypically different strains LM9611-19 (LM-P, persistent) and LM120/5 (LM-S, sporadic - potentially non-persistent) in Tryptone Soy Broth (TSB) and in semi-synthetic cheese medium (SCM) was investigated.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary metabolizable energy levels on various performance indicators of medium-sized geese, with the goal of predicting the optimal range of these energy levels. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across several databases, including Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, China Science and Technology Journal Database, PubMed, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect, covering the period from January 1, 2000, to July 1, 2024. The gathered studies focused on the impact of dietary metabolizable energy levels on the production performance of medium-sized geese.

Arid and semiarid regions have particularities that make more difficult hydrological modeling, such as shallow soils, pronounced temporal and spatial irregularity of precipitation, and sometimes, lack of consistent data. In order to contribute to the hydrological studies in these regions, this research used the CAWM IV model (Campus Agreste Watershed Model Version IV), specially developed for applications in these areas. This model was used to simulate the input of natural flows in the Castanhão reservoir, the most important reservoir in the state of Ceará, northeast of Brazil.

Repair effect analysis of mesenchymal stem cell conditioned media from multiple sources on HUVECs damaged by high glucose.

Clin Proteomics

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Epigenetic Regulation and Intervention, Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, 100101, China.

Background: The therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may be partly attributed to their secretion growth factors, cytokines and chemokines. In various preclinical studies, the use of MSC-conditioned media (CM) has demonstrated promising potential for promoting vascular repair.

Methods: To gain a comprehensive understanding of the variations in conditioned media derived from different sources of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) including umbilical cord, adipose and bone marrow, we investigated their reparative effects on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) subjected to damage induced by high glucose.
