We demonstrate the theoretical and experimental results of using a single prism in the rapid-scanning optical delay line of an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system for compensating the mismatches of the firstand second-order group delay dispersion (GDD) between the reference and sample arms. The analytical expressions for the firstand second-order GDD are derived based on the typically des...

With the help of the most advanced algorithms we obtained many dozens of multilayer dispersive mirror designs to empirically find limits for the maximum achievable negative value of the group delay dispersion (GDD). This value depends on the total thickness of coatings and layer material combination. Nb(2)O(5)/SiO(2) and Ta(2)O(50/SiO(2) combinations are studied in detail, for combinations HfO(...

Tumors of the jaws may represent different human disorders and frequently associate with pathologic bone fractures. In this report, we analyzed two affected siblings from a family of Russian origin, with a history of dental tumors of the jaws, in correspondence to original clinical diagnosis of cementoma consistent with gigantiform cementoma (GC, OMIM: 137575). Whole exome sequencing revealed t...

Gnathodiaphyseal dysplasia (GDD; MIM#166260) is an autosomal dominant syndrome with characteristic cemento-osseous lesions of jawbones, bone fragility, and diaphyseal sclerosis of tubular bones. To date, only five mutations in the proposed calcium-activated chloride channel ANO5/TMEM16E gene have been identified. In this study, we describe two families and two singular patients with three new m...

اوّلین نمایشنامه‌ی پینتر با‌عنوان اتاق حاوی شخصیّت‌پردازی منحصر‌به‌فرد است که قابلیّت تحلیل از منظر‌های مختلف را دارد. آنچه بر صحنه می‌آید، معلول‌هایی بدون ذکر علّت‌ها به منتقد امکان خوانش‌های متعدد می‌دهد. در‌حالی‌که این نسبتاً کوتاه هستی‌شناسی، اقتصاد و تنازع طبقاتی، فمنیسم روانکاوی فرویدی مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است، به‌کارگیری مراحل رشد شخصیّت، مراحلی بزرگسالی در‌بر می‌گیرد، در خوانش آن مغفول واقع ...

Two predictive models were developed within a geographic information system using Genetic Algorithm Rule-Set Prediction (GARP) and the growing degree day (GDD)-water budget (WB) concept to predict the distribution and potential risk of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in the State of Bahia, Brazil. The objective was to define the environmental suitability of the disease as well as to obtain a deeper...
