چکیده
Theoretical and numerical analyses of waveguide branches in a photonic crystal are presented. Conditions for perfect transmission and zero reflection are discussed. Based upon these conditions, numerical simulations of electromagnetic-wave propagation in photonic crystals are performed to identify structures with near-complete transmission. © 2001 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 130.1750, 130.2790, 230,7370, 230.1360.

Cost-effectiveness of renin-guided treatment of hypertension.
BACKGROUND A plasma renin activity (PRA)-guided strategy is more effective than standard care in treating hypertension (HTN). However, its clinical implementation has been slow, presumably due in part to economic concerns. We estimated the cost effectiveness of a PRA-guided treatment strategy compared with standard care in a treated but uncontrolled HTN population. METHODS We estimated costs,...
متن کاملInfluence of sodium intake on the reliability of active renin as a measure of the renin-angiotensin system in essential hypertension.
Plasma renin activity (PRA), active renin (AR), prorenin, and angiotensinogen were assessed in 486 hypertensive and 175 normotensive subjects with a sodium intake of 10 or 200 mEq/d during supine and upright posture and after infusion of angiotensin II. PRA and AR levels were compared in hypertensive subjects in each condition. With low sodium intake, particularly while upright, there was a sig...
متن کاملIn vitro study of the effects of dihydropyrano coumarins isolated from Ferulago macrocarpa on DNA by spectroscopic and molecular modeling methods
Background and objectives: Coumarins have potential anticancer effects. Ferulago macrocarpa (Fenzl) Boiss, is a perennial herb which has shown to have several dihydropyranocoumarins like grandivittin (GRA) and dihydrofuranocoumarins such as prantschimgin (PRA). Previously the antibacterial, cytotoxic and antioxidant effect of GRA and PRA have been reported. Understandi...
متن کاملDiagnostic signs of accommodative insufficiency.
PURPOSE To determine which are the most sensitive tests, together with accommodative amplitude, to classify accommodative insufficiency (Al), we analyzed the relation between monocular estimated method (MEM) dynamic retinoscopy, monocular and binocular accommodative facility (MAF, BAF), and positive relative accommodation (PRA) with or without the presence of reduced amplitude of accommodation....
متن کاملMeasurement of plasma renin activity with use of HPLC-electrospray-tandem mass spectrometry.
BACKGROUND The measurement of renin activity is complicated by difficulties in the quantification of angiotensin 1 (Ang1), the product of the renin-catalyzed reaction. We report an HPLC-electrospray-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) method for the quantification of Ang1 as a measure of plasma renin activity (PRA). METHODS After incubation (37 degrees C for 3 or 18 h), samples were pre...
متن کاملUse of Plasma Renin Activity to Monitor Mineralocorticoid Treatment in Dogs with Primary Hypoadrenocorticism: Desoxycorticosterone Versus Fludrocortisone
BACKGROUND Measurement of plasma renin activity (PRA) is the gold standard for monitoring mineralocorticoid treatment in humans with primary hypoadrenocorticism (PH). OBJECTIVES To compare PRA in dogs with newly diagnosed PH, dogs with diseases mimicking PH, and healthy dogs, and evaluate measurement of PRA to monitor therapeutic effects in dogs with PH treated with different mineralocorticoi...
