We report on a self-organized process initiated potassium-tungsten-tellurite glass surface under repetitive femtosecond laser irradiation in regime where cumulative effects lead to localized melting. Specifically, we show that periodic patterns consisting of parallel nanoplanes perpendicular the polarization are forming and extending beyond zone direct exposure. Examination modified regions rev...

We study in detail the threshold energy dependence of the seasonal variation effect in the energy integrated solar neutrino signal of the Super-Kamiokande detector in the case of the νe ↔ νμ,τ vacuum oscillation (VO) solution of the solar neutrino problem. We show, in particular, that for the values of ∆m2 and sin 2θ from the VO solution region, the predicted time and threshold e− energy (Te,Th...

Purpose This study evaluated trends in tooth extraction due to acute and chronic periodontal disease (PD) using data from the National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort for 2002-2013. Methods A random sample of 1,025,340 individuals was selected as a representative sample of the population, and a database (DB) of diagnostic and prescription codes was followed up for 12 years. We...

This study examined the chemical and biological availability of two nonpolar organic compounds, benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and hexachlorobiphenyl (HCBP), from a spiked sediment that was aged for varying amounts of time. Chemical availability was evaluated using four different solvent combinations to extract chemicals from the sediment. The extractability of BaP and HCBP from sediment using traditiona...

Inadvertent lead placement in the left ventricle (LV) is an uncommon and often under-diagnosed complication of cardiac device implantation. Thromboembolic (TE) events are common and usually secondary to fibrosis or thrombus formation on or around the lead. Anticoagulation can prevent TE events. Percutaneous and surgical LV lead extractions have been performed successfully, but the risks of perc...

Seven species of obligately aerobic photosynthetic bacteria of the genera Erythromicrobium, Erythrobacter, and Roseococcus demonstrated high-level resistance to tellurite and accumulation of metallic tellurium crystals. High-level resistance without tellurite reduction was observed for Roseococcus thiosulfatophilus and Erythromicrobium ezovicum grown with certain organic carbon sources, implyin...

We propose a magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM)-based nuclear spin quantum computer using tellurium impurities in silicon. This approach to quantum computing combines the well-developed silicon technology with expected advances in MRFM. PACS: 03.67.Lx, 03.67.-a, 76.60.-k

Iron telluride nanorods (FeTe NRs, length 45 ± 11 nm) prepared from tellurium nanowires (Te NWs, length 785 ± 170) have been used to detect H(2)O(2) and glucose with a limit of detection (LOD) of 55 nM (linear range = 0.1-5 μM) and 0.38 μM (linear range = 1-100 μM) respectively.
