Pump-enhanced continuous-wave optical parametric oscillators (PE cw-OPOs) are commercially available since 2000. Pumped at 1064 nm, signal and idler emission ranges of 1380-2000 nm and 2280-4670 nm are achieved without changing any optics. Narrow linewidths < 10 kHz have been demonstrated so far. A special resonator design offers improved frequency tuning qualities. PE cw-OPOs have been applied...

background: interaction between local anesthetic solution, lidocaine hydrochloride (with and without adrenaline), and root canal irrigants such as sodium hypochlorite (naocl), ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (edta), and chlorhexidine (chx) has not been studied earlier. hence, the purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the chemical interaction between 2% lidocaine hydrochloride (with ...

BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies worldwide have shown that A. fumigatus exhibits important phenotypic and genotypic diversity, and these findings have been of great importance in improving the diagnosis and treatment of diseases caused by this fungus. However, few studies have been carried out related to the epidemiology of this fungus in Latin America. This study's aim is to report on the ep...

This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of physical examination (PE) skills during our diagnostic medicine course and analyze the characteristics of the data collected to provide information for practical guidance to improve the quality of teaching. Seventy-two fourth-year medical students were enrolled in the study. All received an assessment of PE skills after receiving a 17-week...

In această lucrare sunt discutate principalele etape ale construcţiei unei mâini artificiale, punându-se accent pe procesul de fabricaţie al componentelor ce constituie mâna şi pe sistemul de control al acesteia care este bazat pe componente mecatronice de ultimă generaţie. O altă problemă tratată în această lucrare este cinematica directă a mâinilor antropomorfe, fiind dată şi o metodă teoreti...

Using a unique proprietary data set of 460 realized buyouts completed between 1990 and 2005, we examine the risk appetite of private equity (PE) sponsors in different states of the PE market and analyse key determinants of deal-level equity risk. We develop a new approach to mathematically model PE investment equity risk based on the Black-Cox default model. We find higher equity volatilities d...

Malware has become one of the most serious threats to computer information system and the current malware detection technology still has very significant limitations. In this paper, we proposed a malware detection approach by mining format information of PE (portable executable) files. Based on in-depth analysis of the static format information of the PE files, we extracted 197 features from fo...

This commentary was written in response to the Rink (2013), McKenzie and Lounsbery (2013), and Ward (2013) articles published earlier on teacher effectiveness in physical education (PE). The historical analyses of teacher effectiveness research in PE (TER-PE) presented in those 3 articles are briefly described, particularly as they represent a collective agenda in the first 3 decades in this li...
