Measurements with a one-electron quantum cyclotron determine the electron magnetic moment, given by g/2 = 1.001 159 652 180 73(28)[0.28ppt], and the fine structure constant, α−1 = 137.035 999 084(51)[0.37ppb]. Announcements of these measurements [Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 030801 (2006); 100, 120801 (2008)] are supplemented here with a more complete description of the one-electron quantum cyclotron a...

A new measurement resolves cyclotron and spin levels for a single-electron quantum cyclotron to obtain an electron magnetic moment, given by g/2=1.001 159 652 180 85 (76) [0.76 ppt]. The uncertainty is nearly 6 times lower than in the past, and g is shifted downward by 1.7 standard deviations. The new g, with a quantum electrodynamics (QED) calculation, determines the fine structure constant wi...

The transmission performance of coherent dual-polarization multi-band OFDM (DP-MB-OFDM) and QPSK (DP-QPSK) are experimentally compared for 100 Gb/s long-haul transport over legacy infrastructure combining G.652 fiber and 10 Gb/s WDM system. It is shown that DP-MB-OFDM and DP-QPSK have nearly the same performance at 100 Gb/s after transmission over a 10 × 100-km fiber line. Furthermore, the orig...

Pair and bond-orientational correlation functions and structure factors, asused in colloidal science, are applied as quantitative indicators of the phase of the newly discovered "plasma crystals." These Coulomblattice structures are formed by charged microspheres levitated in glow discharge plasmas and are imaged photographically. Static structural analysis is demonstrated on the experimental d...

Campylobacter spp. are an important cause of bacterial gastroenteritis frequently isolated from animal, poultry and environmental samples. In this study, we investigated the zoonotic potential of Campylobacter spp. by comparing prevalence rates and species in 394 children with diarrhoea and 652 animals in Vellore using PCR-based tools. Eighteen children (4.5%) had campylobacteriosis, a majority...

INTRODUCTION The World Health Organization endorses the BACTEC Mycobacterial Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT)(tm) system as a rapid, sensitive, and specific method to diagnostic of tuberculosis. Here, we compared the performance of this system against Ogawa-Kudoh cultures and microscopy. METHODS A total of 927 samples were obtained between December 2011 and December 2013 from 652 cases of suspect...

Liver fluke caused by Opisthorchis viverrini, is a serious problem in Thailand particularly in the northeast and north region (Kaewpitoon et al., 2008b; Sitthithaworn et al., 2012; Sripa et al., 2012; Wongsaroj et al., 2014; Kaewpitoon et al., 2015). Recently, the current status of liver fluke infection in Thailand was reported, a nationwide survey prevalent was 5.1%. The highest of prevalent w...
