Photonic crystal line defect waveguides show high group velocity dispersion and slow photon effect near transmission band edge. The group index of the fabricated silicon photonic crystal line defect waveguide is experimentally demonstrated as high as 45 at optical wavelength around 1558 nm. The group velocity dispersion of the fabricated silicon photonic crystal line defect waveguide is as high...

A strong local form of the “4/3-law” in turbulent flow has been proved recently by Duchon and Robert for a triple moment of velocity increments averaged over both a bounded spacetime region and separation vector directions, and for energy dissipation averaged over the same spacetime region. Under precisely stated hypotheses, the two are proved to be proportional, by a constant 4/3, and to appea...

We consider slow motion of a pointlike topological defect (vortex) in the nonlinear Schrodinger equation minimally coupled to Chern-Simons gauge field and subject to external uniform magnetic field. It turns out that a formal expansion of fields in powers of defect velocity yields only the trivial static solution. To obtain a nontrivial solution one has to treat velocities and accelerations as ...

INTRODUCTION Tibia fracture caused by high velocity missiles is mostly comminuted and followed by bone defect which makes their healing process extremely difficult and prone to numerous complications. CASE OUTLINE A 34-year-old male was wounded at close range by a semi-automatic gun missile. He was wounded in the distal area of the left tibia and suffered a massive defect of the bone and soft...

The dispersion of line-defect modes in silicon-on-insulator photonic crystal waveguides is explored by means of angleand polarization-resolved micro-reflectance measurements. The frequency-wave vector range accessible to the experiments is greatly expanded by the use of attenuated total reflectance, in addition to the standard one, thereby allowing one to study both truly guided (evanescent) an...

patients and methods previously recorded data of 231 patients who underwent surgical closure of vsd between january 2009 and january 2012 at the rajaie cardiovascular medical and research center were retrospectively reviewed. vsd surgical repair was performed using continues suturing technique in group a patients (n = 163, 70.6%) and interrupted suturing technique in group b patients (n = 68, 2...
