We develop an approach to utilize anisotropic metamaterials to solve one of the fundamental problems of modern plasmonics--parasitic scattering of surface waves into free-space modes, opening the road to truly two-dimensional plasmonic optics. We illustrate the developed formalism on the examples of plasmonic refractor and plasmonic crystal, and discuss limitations of the developed technique an...

The international trade of plants and their products, such as fresh fruits, can facilitate the introduction spread foreign pests diseases. We examined South Africa’s import stone fruits (Prunus spp.) a pathway for introducing Monilinia fructicola (G. Wint.) Honey document recommended phytosanitary measures to deal with risk associated its exportation into country. Fresh Prunus spp. are imported...

The ber stone weevil, Aubeus himalayanus Voss (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) appeared to be an emerging pest reported from various region of India. weevil is threat for production in India especially Northern results showed that organic IPM module-II registered significantly lower population (12.04 % on retained fruits & 15.04% dropped fruits) followed by module-I (21.26 plant 26.15% fallen fruits...

Since the first report in 2005, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery has been linked to a variety of metabolic changes that alter kidney stone risk. The studies with the highest level of evidence, performed in non-stone forming patients before and after RYGB, cite a number of kidney stone risk factors, including a 25% increase in urinary oxalate, a 30% decrease in urinary citrate, and reduct...
