This work presents a systematic theoretical analysis and experimental validation of a novel coherent absorber which is printed through conventional inkjet-printing technology. The new absorber consists of a single resistively loaded sheet printed on a conventional plastic sheet, resulting a low complexity and passive design. The low-cost and easily fabricated absorber is frequency independent, polarization insensitive, wide-angle and we demonstrate its absorbance reconfigurability using a remote illumination as a control signal. Theoretical, numerical and experimental results are in good agreement. Specifically, experimental results shown that near perfect absorption (i.e., [Formula: see text]) can be achieved using a printed sheet of thickness [Formula: see text].

Aim: We aim to assess association of DNA methylation (DNAm) at birth with total immunoglobulin E (IgE) trajectories from birth to late adolescence and whether such association is ethnicity-specific.

Methods: We examined the association of total IgE trajectories from birth to late adolescence with DNAm at birth in two independent birth cohorts, the Isle of wight birth cohort (IOWBC) in UK ( = 796; White) and the maternal and infant cohort study (MICS) in Taiwan ( = 60; Asian). Biological pathways and methylation quantitative trait loci (methQTL) for associated Cytosine-phosphate-Guanine sites were studied.
