In this letter, the uniform 4H silicon carbide (SiC) mesopores was fabricated by pulsed electrochemical etching method. The length of the mesopores is about 19 μm with a diameter of about 19 nm. The introduction of pause time (T off) is crucial to form the uniform 4H-SiC mesopores. The pore diameter will not change if etching goes with T off. The hole concentration decreasing at the pore tips d...

Purpose: To present a case study describing inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique used after failed treatment of double large fullthickness macular hole. Case presentation: A 79-year-old woman presented large full-thickness macular hole after primary failed pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and SF6 gas endotamponade. The corrected distance visual a...

Postural conditions are known to affect hand use in many primate species. It remains to be examined how posture and task differences modulate, or interact with, hand use in common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus). Three experimental conditions were introduced to assess the occurrence of preferential hand use as a function of posture and size of aperture for the subjects to grasp and retrieve the ...

In California, the commercial fishery for Pacific hagfish (Eptatretus stoutii) has exported over one million pounds annually in recent years, primarily to South Korea where they are considered a delicacy. Comparatively little research exists to support management decisions for this species. In an effort to support ongoing conservation efforts, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW...

Fundamental properties such as mode field distribution, real effective refractive index, imaginary effective refractive index, confinement loss of two new kinds of honeycomb photonic crystal fibers are successfully studied by using Full-Vectorial Finite element method (FV-FEM). Low confinement loss 0.1×10dB/km is achieved at wavelength 1.55μm in hollow core honey comb PCF by removing 6-air hole...

BACKGROUND Fundus autofluorescence studies in eyes with macular holes (MHs) have shown a hyperautofluorescent spot corresponding to the hole and a hypoautofluorescent ring corresponding to the fluid cuff surrounding the hole. The purpose of this report is to present three cases of MH with a different fundus autofluorescence pattern. CASE REPORTS Case 1 was a 62-year-old woman who did not know...
