Published: May 2021

This work proposes a methodology to convert a rectangular TE mode to a circular TM mode using an H-plane power divider at W-band. The divider evenly splits the input signal into two parts with the same amplitude and phase. One of the waves then goes through a wider rectangular waveguide with a lower cutoff frequency. After propagating through a specific length, the two waves differ by 180°. The two out-of-phase waves can jointly synthesize the circular TM mode with high mode purity. This power divider is structurally simple and capable of high-power operation. The full-wave simulation shows that the metal's conductivity affects the transmission of two-mode converters joined back-to-back. The measured back-to-back transmission agrees with the simulation result except for minor quantitative differences. The measured 3-dB bandwidth is 2.8 GHz with a center frequency of 93.6 GHz, which warrants the success of the TM mode gyrotrons.

Apo-transferrin (apo-TRF) is a vital protein for maintaining iron balance in the body, which is produced by the liver. Indisulam (IDM) has been extensively used to treat cancer in clinical study and has been identified as a molecular glue. Iron imbalances in the body are believed to encourage the growth and spread of cancer cells.

Abscisic acid (ABA) mediated stomatal closure is a highly effective mode of active stomatal regulation under drought stress. Previous studies on stomatal regulation have primarily focused on the leaves of vascular plants, while research on the stomatal behavior of bulbous plants remains unknown. In addition, ABA-induced stomatal regulation in bulbs has yet to be explored.

The interaction of drugs with DNA is crucial for understanding their mechanism of action, particularly in the context of gene expression regulation. Erdafitinib (EDB), a pan-FGFR (fibroblast growth factor receptor) inhibitor approved by the FDA, is a potent anticancer agent used primarily in the treatment of urothelial carcinoma. In this study, the binding interaction between EDB and calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) was assessed using molecular docking, UV-absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy.

Introduction: Sport and outdoor activities have benefits on people's health and well-being but may also increase the frequency of unsustainable behaviors. The present study explores drivers of travel mode choice and consumption of material (clothes and equipment) associated with physical activity to clarify the extent to which an active and sustainable lifestyle is compatible. The role of identity and varying levels of internalized motivation for pro-environmental behaviors (autonomous and controlled environmental motivation) and engagement in physical activity (autonomous and controlled activity motivation) was examined.

Coordination-Defect-Driven Construction of Responsive Pure-MOF Microspheres for Switchable Mode-Dependent Anticounterfeiting Labels.

Luminescent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with exceptional dynamics and diverse active sites possess tremendous potential in information security and anticounterfeiting applications. However, traditional MOF systems are based on broadband spectral signals with spectrum overlap, which easily leads to low-resolution signal identification, compromising the overall security level. Here, we report the coordination-defect-induced amorphous pure-MOF microsphere with switchable whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) signals as a mode-dependent security platform.
