This Letter demonstrates a polarization-maintaining higher-order mode fiber module that has anomalous dispersion at 1 μm. The group velocity dispersion of the module is measured, showing a split of the two polarization axes. The excellent polarization-maintaining properties of the relevant fiber modes for the higher-order mode fiber are likewise demonstrated employing a new simple method for th...

Zataria multiflora Boiss. (ZM) from Lamiaceae family, is an herb native to Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan with a history of use both as a condiment and a traditional medicine. The herb and/or its preparations have also shown promising effects in modern pharmacological studies. With regard to the importance of reducing synthetic drug administration both as growth promoters and therapeu...

zataria multiflora (zm) is a thyme-like aromatic plant in the lamiaceae family that grows in central and southern iran. zm is extensively used as a flavor ingredient in a wide variety of foods and is used as part of popular traditional folk remedies. in the present study, zm essential oil (zmo) was obtained from zm leaves via hydro-distillation and then analyzed by gc-ms (gas chromatography-mas...

We begin with some reminders and remarks on non-commutative rings. First, recall that if R is a not necessarily commutative ring, an element x ∈ R is invertible if it has both a left (multiplicative) inverse and a right (multiplicative) inverse; it then follows that the two are necessarily equal. Note however, that unlike the example of n× n matrices over a field, in a general noncommutative ri...

1 Leukotrienes have potent biological effects in vitro and in vivo and are found in tissue and in biological fluids in various pathological conditions including allergic diseases. Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) is a potent stimulus for eosinophil accumulation and activation and there is much interest in determining its importance in mediating the accumulation of eosinophils at sites of allergic inflamma...

A method using Zernike Moments (ZM) and Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) for classification and recognition of plant leaf images is proposed in this paper. After preprocessing, we compute the shape features of a leaf using Zernike Moments (ZM) and texture features using Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) and then Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used for plant leaf image class...

The microstructure of continuously hot-dip galvanizing Zn-Mg coating was investigated in order to obtain the mechanism of the effects of Mg on the corrosion resistance. In this paper, the vertical section of the Zn-0.20 wt % Al-Mg ternary phase diagram near the Al-low corner was calculated. The results indicates that the phase composition of the Zn-0.20 wt % Al-Mg ternary phase diagram near the...

Severe zinc deficiency is associated with an increased systemic inflammatory response and mortality after sepsis. However, the impact of mild zinc deficiency, which is more common in populations with chronic illnesses and sepsis, is unknown. In this study, we hypothesized that marginal dietary Zn deprivation (ZM) would amplify tissue inflammation and exacerbate the sepsis-induced decrease in mu...
