A polarization-independent, high-index contrast grating (HCG) with a single layer of cross stripes allowing simple fabrication is proposed. Since the cross stripes structure can be suspended in air by selectively wet-etching the layer below, all the layers can be grown at once when implemented for vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers. We optimized the structure to have a broad and high refle...

Despite the variety of novel facial rejuvenation technologies available today, the reference standard for correction of the senescent jaw line and neck remains rhytidectomy. This article describes the purse-string facelift, a vertical facelift that moves away from traditional techniques that use a horizontal vector of subcutaneous muscle-aponeurotic system repositioning. The vertical facelift c...

The diel vertical migration (DVM) of zooplankton is one the largest species migrations to occur globally and a key driver regional ecosystems marine carbon pump. dramatic changes in Arctic environment recent years, mainly associated with sea-ice decline, may have wide significance for shelf including DVM. Observations revealed occurrence DVM ice-covered waters, however, there yet be observation...

The present study was designed to compare the curative role of proton pump inhibitors, omeprazole, rabeprazole and lansoprazole against dexamethasone-induced ulcer model. Dexamethasone (5 mg/kg/day) was used as an ulcerogen. Dexamethasone suspended in 1% CMC in water was given orally to all rats. Omeprazole (20 mg/kg), rabeprazole (20 mg/kg), and lansoprazole (20 mg/kg) were administered by ora...

Currently, two types of cannula are available for Medtronic insulin pump therapy: the vertical Quick-set cannula (Medtronic plc, Dublin, Ireland) and the 30-degree angle Silhouette cannula (Medtronic plc). However, it has not been established which cannula should be used in specific patients. Here, we present two Japanese patients with type 1 diabetes who experienced unexpected episodes of hype...

A bi-directional pump is designed by using S-shaped hydrofoil, the most convenient way to achieve operation. In this paper, high-speed photography used visualize flow field characteristics of bidirectional under different cavitation numbers, and changes caused are quantitatively analyzed in combination with pressure pulsation sensor. The results show that operation efficiency reverse lower than...
