Using molecular dynamics simulations, we study the effect of the brush grafting density and degree of polymerization of the side chains on conformations of brush layers made of charged bottle-brush macromolecules. The thickness of the brush layer first decreases with increasing brush grafting density; then, it saturates and remains constant in the wide interval of the brush grafting densities. ...

Traditional medicine is widely practiced in tropical countries. Bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) fruit juice is advocated as a part of complementary and alternative medicine. If the bottle gourd juice becomes bitter it is considered toxic. We report 15 patients, who developed toxicity due to drinking bitter bottle gourd juice. Patients presented with abdominal pain, vomiting, hematemesis, dia...

We demonstrate that a laser beam converging from a specific transverse mode is a bottle beam, as described in J. Opt. Soc. Am. B 20, 1220 (2003). To our knowledge, this is the first time that a bottle beam has been generated directly from a laser. By calculating the radiation forces on a dielectric Rayleigh sphere in the bottle beam, we show that the single beam can trap high-refractive-index p...
