We demonstrate that a pair of perpendicular electrical dipolar scatterers resonating at different frequencies can be used as a metamaterial unit cell to construct a nanometer-thin retarder in reflection, designing nanocross and nanobrick plasmonic configurations to function as reflecting quarter-wave plates at ~1520 and 770 nm, respectively. The design is corroborated experimentally with a mono...

We present recent STAR results on photoproduction in ultra-peripheral relativistic heavy ion collisions. In these collisions the impact parameter of the beam particles is larger than the sum of their nuclear radii, so that they interact via their long-range Coulomb fields. STAR has measured the production of ρ(770) mesons in exclusive reactions as well as in processes with mutual nuclear excita...

For the first time the e+e− spectroscopy study was performed in Novosibirsk in 60th at the VEPP-2 collider. The shape of the ρ(770) resonance have been measured [1]. Since a lot of different experiments for spectroscopy have been done [2] and as a rule the most precise data on vector meson parameters were obtained in e+e− production. The current status of the vector meson spectroscopy is as fol...

Introduction: Plasticity in intellectual functioning has been the target of significant research investment. Among non-pharmacological interventions, cognitive training appears as a promising option for delaying the effects of aging on cognition. Objective: The present study describes the procedures of a cognitive training program for healthy Brazilian Palavras-chave: Idosos. Cognição. Treino C...

Bovine abortion is an important cause of economic loss to the cattle livestock industry. In California this may as much as $700 for each cow that has aborted (Thurmond & Picanso, 1990). Kossaibati & Esslemont (1997) estimated the average cost of calf mortality in English dairy herds was £310 per calf death at 1995 prices; for culling an additional cow following illness, such as abortion, it was...

We report on a laser source at 589 nm based on sum-frequency generation of two infrared laser at 1064 nm and 1319 nm. Output power as high as 800 mW is achieved starting from 370 mW at 1319 nm and 770 mW at 1064 nm, corresponding to converting roughly 90% of the 1319 nm photons entering the cavity. The power and frequency stability of this source are ideally suited for cooling and trapping of s...
