Trains of ultrashort laser pulses separated by the time of rotational revival (typically, tens of picoseconds) have been exploited for creating ensembles of aligned molecules. In this work we introduce a chiral pulse train--a sequence of linearly polarized pulses with the polarization direction rotating from pulse to pulse by a controllable angle. The chirality of such a train, expressed throug...

In the early 1980’s, the ultrasonic polar scan (UPS) technique was developed to assess the fiber direction of composites in a nondestructive way. In spite of the recognition by several researchers as being a sophisticated and promising methodology for nondestructive testing (NDT) and materials science, little advance was made during the following 30 years. Recently however, the UPS technique ex...

The paper aims to look at those community-organizing phenomena that provided alternatives to officially supported, mandatory youth activities and played a vital role in the everyday life of young people in socialist Hungary in the 1970s and 80s. The urban folk dance and music revival, the so-called táncház (dance house) movement, is highlighted. The authors argue that the dance house as a subcu...

Editors' Note: The following is Professor Harrison's response to Professor Evelyn Pluhar's article "Arguing Away Suffering: The Neo-Cartesian Revival," which appeared in the preceding number of Between the Species. Professor Pluhar's reply follows. Several corrections of errors, for which the editors are responsible, are to be made to "Arguing Away Suffering." See ''Errata'' on page 92 of this ...

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and heart failure is a serious disease with a high morbidity and mortality rate in spite of optimal medical therapy. Although coronary artery disease is the main aetiology for the condition, a large group of patients have non-ischaemic DCM. Regenerative therapy with stem cells has been a focus to improve cardiac function, physical performance, and quality of life, a...

Modern medicine wields the power to treat large numbers of diseases and injuries most of us would have died from just a hundred years ago, yet many of the most devastating diseases of our time are still untreatable. Chronic conditions of age such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis or Alzheimer's disease turn out to be of a complexity that may require transformative ideas and pa...

As we approach the beginning of the new millennium, it is clearly an opportune time for Pentecostal and Charismatic believers to ponder from whence we have come and whither we are bound. A revival movement, at some point in its maturation, finds value in evaluating significant dimensions of its existence--its history, its theology, its experience, and the challenges and opportunities confrontin...

the following study aims to present a consistent framework for the sustainable development of the troglodyte village of kandovan, taking into consideration the present situation of the village and the paramount importance of preserving its unique way of life with the ultimate goal of making efficient improvements on the living conditions of its inhabitants. located in north-western iran, this t...

We introduce the set of n-photon coherent states and squeezed study their collapse revival compare behavior with corresponding zero-photon states, respectively. The (n = 0, 1, 2, ···) forms a basis Hilbert state photons may be some interest. notice that presence few extra in as compared to makes large difference revival. This indicates effect make
