We fabricate and investigate wavelength selective components utilizing channel plasmon polaritons (CPPs) and operate at telecom wavelengths: a waveguide-ring resonator-based add-drop multiplexer (WRR-ADM) and a compact (3.75-microm-long) Bragg grating filter (BGF). The CPP waveguides represent 0.5-microm-wide and 1.3-microm-deep V-grooves in gold, which are combined with a 5-microm-radius ring ...

In the last decade, the structures of many components of the photosynthetic apparatus of purple bacteria, as well as the mutual organization of these components within the purple membrane, were resolved. One key question that emerged concerned the assembly of the core complex consisting of the reaction center (RC) and the light-harvesting 1 (LH1) complex. In some species, like Rhodobacter sphae...

For the analysis of the paramagnetic spin orbit (PSO) term of the NMR spin–spin coupling constant (SSCC), ring current density and PSO density distribution are derived and used to explain magnitude and sign of the isotropic PSO term. Decomposition of the PSO components into orbital contributions helps to identify those orbital pairs (occupied, virtual) dominating the PSO term. The induction of ...

In separate blocks of a simple reaction time (RT) task, eight Parkinsonian and eight control subjects executed finger press sequences with one (index finger), two (index finger-ring) or three (index finger-ring-middle) components. Programming was inferred from the increase latency to initiate the first component as a function of the length of the entire sequence; and from the systematic decreas...

The title compound, C(18)H(12)S, contains a thio-phene ring which is disordered by rotation of 180° about the linking C-C bond. The site occupancies of the major and minor components of the disordered ring are 0.900 (3) and 0.100 (3), respectively. In one of these disordered components, the mol-ecule is stabilized by an intra-molecular C-H⋯S hydrogen bond. The compound was synthesized in good y...

Podosomes are multimolecular mechanosensory assemblies that coordinate mesenchymal migration of tissue-resident dendritic cells. They have a protrusive actin core and an adhesive ring of integrins and adaptor proteins, such as talin and vinculin. We recently demonstrated that core actin oscillations correlate with intensity fluctuations of vinculin but not talin, suggesting different molecular ...

In the title compound, C31H25N5O3·C2H6OS, the three indole/indoline units are all essentially planar with maximum deviations of 0.0172 (3), 0.053 (2) and 0.07 (2) Å. The pyrrolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation with the C atoms bearing the 1-ethyl-2-oxo-indole substituent (in which the five-membered ring adopts a twisted conformation) as the flap. The dimethyl sulfoxide solvent mol-ecul...

use of the double ring infiltrometer to measure soil water infiltration in center pivot irrigation systems isn’t an accurate approach because the real conditions of infiltration under center pivot sprinklers is different from what happens in the double ring. in this study the infiltration parameters were evaluated in real conditions of a center pivot system. for this purpose a single ring with ...

‎let $r$ be a ring with involution $*$‎. ‎an additive mapping $t:rto r$ is called a left(respectively right) centralizer if $t(xy)=t(x)y$ (respectively $t(xy)=xt(y)$) for all $x,yin r$‎. ‎the purpose of this paper is to examine the commutativity of prime rings with involution satisfying certain identities involving left centralizers.
