There is worldwide considerable interest in the study and development of high-power Yb-doped continuous wave (CW) and pulsed fiber lasers for various material processing applications. Although it appears to be trivial to generate high-power CW output from Yb-doped CW fiber lasers by pumping with high-power CW laser diodes; however, it is not so easy to generate truly CW output without amplitude...

Monostatic and bistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging systems with Wide-Bandwidth Continuous-Wave (WB-CW) sources have been utilized for military reconnaissance. WB-CW sources are less susceptible than FM-CW sources to Electronic Counter Measures (ECM). The main shortcoming of the WB-CW microwave illumination is that its resultant SAR echoed signal is not composed of distinct Doppler s...

The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-Cw and killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) genes in a Jilin Han population and to provide a theoretical basis for further studies of their roles in disease. A total of 154 unpaid Jilin Han blood donors were selected and KIR and HLA-Cw genotyping was performed using PCR-SSP. Recognition of HLA...

The Rh blood group antigens are encoded by two highly related genes, RHD and RHCE, and the sequence of the common alleles (D, Ce, CE, ce, and cE) of these genes has been previously elucidated. In this report, Rh transcripts and gene fragments have been amplified using polymerase chain reaction from the blood of donors with the CW+ andCX+ phenotypes. Sequence analysis indicated that the expressi...

In laser processing and electro-optical countermeasures, the ablation efficiency on target is of great importance. Compared with traditional single irradiation, by continuous-wave (CW)/pulsed combined has advantages high efficiency, strong controllability, low energy output requirements. However, current research synergistic mechanism matching irradiation requires improvement. this study, damag...

Aims/hypothesis We analysed the association between humoral autoreactivity to zinc transporter-8 (ZnT8) and the SLC30A8 rs13266634 polymorphism (Arg325Trp), which is located at the most distal loop in the ZnT8 protein. Methods Autoantibodies to ZnT8 were determined by RIA in 270 patients with type 1 diabetes using ZnT8 carboxy-terminal constructs (amino acids 268–369) carrying 325Trp(CW) and 32...

Background: The dose-related effects of patient setup errors on bio-physical indices were evaluated for the conventional wedge (CW) and field-in-field (FIF) whole breast irradiation techniques (WBI). Materials and Methods: The treatment plans of 10 patients receiving left WBI were retrospectively selected for evaluation. The bio-physical effects of dose variations were evaluated by shifting the...
