Two components of the outward K+ currents (Ik) of cells isolated from the circular layer of human jejunum were investigated using the conventional whole-cell voltage clamp method. A fast transient Ik component could only be elicited by depolarization in cells dialysed with pipette solution of pCa < 7.4. This Ik component was strongly voltage dependent, and could be selectively abolished by 30 mumol/l quinidine. Its amplitudes decreased in the absence of Ca entry, the decrease depending on the duration of cell exposure to media containing calcium-blockers, and disappeared after depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores. The steady-state component of Ik was sensitive to tetraethylammonium. This component had comparable amplitudes at pCa = 8.4 or pCa = 7.4 of the pipette solution, and was present during a long-lasting exposure of cells to solutions containing Ca(2+)-blocking drugs.

Achiral metasurfaces with near-field optical chirality have attracted great attention in molecular sensing and chiral emission control. Here, the circular dichroism (CD) response of an achiral metasurface induced by spatially selective coupling with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) molecules is demonstrated. A designed achiral metasurface with a V-shaped resonator exhibits large optical chirality with a strongly dissymmetric distribution under circular polarization.

Interlayer excitons (IXs) in the heterostructure of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are considered as a promising platform to study fundamental exciton physics and for potential applications of next generation optoelectronic devices. The IXs trapped in the moiré potential in a twisted monolayer TMD heterostructure such as MoSe/WSe form zero-dimensional (0D) moiré excitons. Introducing an atomically thin insulating layer between TMD monolayers in a twisted heterostructure would modulate the moiré potential landscape, thereby tuning 0D IXs into 2D IXs.

This paper presents a novel investigation of a magnetic sensor that employs Fano/Tamm resonance within the photonic band gap of a one-dimensional crystal structure. The design incorporates a thin layer of gold (Au) alongside a periodic arrangement of Tantalum pentoxide ([Formula: see text]) and Cesium iodide ([Formula: see text]) in the configuration [Formula: see text]. We utilized the transfer matrix method in conjunction with the Drude model to analyze the formation of Fano/Tamm states and the permittivity of the metallic layer, respectively.

The anatomical, histological, and histochemical characteristics of the foregut (FG), midgut (MG), and hindgut (HG), as well as their alterations during the ovarian cycle in female prawns, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, were investigated. The esophagus (ESO), cardia (CD), and pylorus (PY) are the main components of the FG. An epithelium (Ep) with thick cuticle (Cu) layers lining the ESO, and the ESO is encircled by the ESO glands.

We present a novel photoreconfigurable metasurface designed for independent and efficient control of electromagnetic waves with identical incident polarization and frequency across the entire spatial domain. The proposed metasurface features a three-layer architecture: a top layer incorporating a gold circular split ring resonator (CSRR) filled with perovskite material and dual -shaped perovskite resonators; a middle layer of polyimide dielectric; and a bottom layer comprising a perovskite substrate with an oppositely oriented circular split ring resonator filled with gold. By modulating the intensity of a laser beam, we achieve autonomous manipulation of incident circularly polarized terahertz waves in both transmission and reflection modes.
