Nonlinear second-harmonic generation (SHG)microscopy has become a commonly used technique for investigating interfacial phenomena(Kemnitz et al., 1986; Shen, 1989) and imaging biological samples.(Moreaux et al., 2000) Different non-centrosymmetric nanometric light sources have been recently studied in this context, e.g. organic nanocrystals.(Shen et al., 2001; Treussart et al., 2003) For those ...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser photoselective vaporization prostatectomy (PVP) is a relatively new technology for the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). We reviewed our initial experience regarding the efficacy and safety of this technique for symptomatic and obstructive BPH. MATERIAL AND METHODS During the last year, 35 patients with a mean...

It has been known for many years that a nonlinear phase shift can occur with non-phase-matched second-harmonic generation in particular and with parametric processes in general.1·2 Frequently it is an undesirable factor that leads to instabilities in parametric oscillators. Such a nonlinear phase shift has been measured experimentally in bulk KTP at 1.06 11-m with Z-scan techniques, 3 which mea...

We report the experimental generation of squeezed light at 852 nm, locked on the Cesium D(2) line. 50% of noise reduction down to 50 kHz has been obtained with a doubly resonant optical parametric oscillator operating below threshold, using a periodically-poled KTP crystal. This light is directly utilizable with Cesium atomic ensembles for quantum networking applications.

Background: Nandrolone decanoate (ND) is an anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) which influences the ovarian structure and function. We assessed the effects of ND on the ovarian volume, number of primordial follicles, and level of hormones and also evaluated the modulatory effects of gonadotropins on the histopathological changes imposed by the administration of ND. Methods: Six groups of Sprague...

OBJECTIVE To assess the comparative efficacy of energy treatments in resolving cherry angiomata. DESIGN Rater-blinded randomized controlled trial. SETTING Outpatient dermatology clinic in an urban referral academic medical center. PARTICIPANTS Fifteen healthy adults aged 21 to 65 years were enrolled. Two eligible individuals who were approached declined to participate, and no one enrolled...

Purpose: Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been implemented by large design and construction practices. However, it is not widely (if at all) used by SMEs (Small, Medium Enterprises). Furthermore, adoption and implementation of BIM to enable lean design process brings about changes and new challenges and investments for stakeholders. The aim of this paper is identify a roadmap for BIM ad...
