This paper introduces a compact optical information storage sensing system. Applications of this system include longitudinal surface plasmon resonance detection of gold nanorods with a single femtosecond laser in three-dimensional space as well as data storage. A diffractive optical element (DOE) is applied in the system to separate the recording-reading beam from the servo beam. This allows us...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate patients' willingness to initiate a preventive treatment and compared two established effect measures to the newly developed Delay of Events (DoE) measure that expresses treatment effect as a gain in event-free time. METHODS In this cross-sectional, randomized survey experiment in the general Swedish population,1079 respondents (response rate 60.9%) ...

This paper is the first in a proposed series of papers that will try to answer a question commonly directed to the Department of Energy: “How is risk used to make decisions in the Environmental Management (EM) program?” This paper summarizes the role that human health and safety risk plays in DOE cleanup decision-making under CERCLA and RCRA, two main regulatory drivers behind DOE cleanup effor...

We construct the non-linear Kaluza-Klein ansätze describing the embeddings of the U(1)3, U(1)4 and U(1)2 truncations of D = 5, D = 4 and D = 7 gauged supergravities into the type IIB string and M-theory. These enable one to oxidise any associated lower dimensional solutions to D = 10 or D = 11. In particular, we use these general ansätze to embed the charged AdS5, AdS4 and AdS7 black hole solut...

Within the next few decades, several hundred thousand tons of metal are expected to be removed from nuclear facilities across the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) complex as a result of decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) activities. These materials, together with large quantities of tools, equipment, and other items that are commonly recovered from site cleanup or D&D activities, constitu...

The differential outcomes effect (DOE) refers to the finding that performance in discrimination training improves when different behaviors produce different reinforcers. In the current study, the effects of two DOE procedures on the acquisition of receptive language skills were compared. Participants were four children with autism and/or developmental delay/speech and language impairment. The c...

The statistical design of experiment (DOE) is a procedure of planning controlled experiments for investigating the effect of some process on some experimental units. Although the DOE method has a wide range of applicability in various scientific areas, the DOE application in sport science has been received less consideration. Similarly, this study tries to determine the most significant factor ...

The Baby Doe Rules [3] represent the first attempt by the US government to directly intervene in treatment options for neonates born with severe congenital defects. The name of the rule comes from the controversial 1982 case of a Bloomington, Indiana, infant Baby Doe, a name coined by the media. The Baby Doe Rules [3] mandate that, as a requirement for federal funding, hospitals and physicians ...
