The measurement of surface curvature is great significance in aerospace, structural health monitoring, energy batteries, etc. In this paper, a fiber-optic sensor, based on intracavity sensing fiber ring laser (FRL), experimentally demonstrated. A no-core fiber- filter performs as the head FRL sensor. response between NCF and output wavelength was investigated. curvature, sensor system showed na...

A series of pyridinol-blocked isophorone isocyanates, based on pyridinol including 2-hydroxypyridine, 3-hydroxypyridine, and 4-hydroxypyridine, was synthesized and characterized by ¹H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and FTIR spectra. The deblocking temperature of blocked isocyanates was established by thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and the CO₂ evaluation method. The d...

Objetivo: Avaliar prospectivamente o efeito analgésico da música de preferência do paciente com retinopatia diabética que foram submetidos à fotocoagaluação retiniana a laser (FRL). Metodologia: Trata-se um ensaio clínico controlado, randomizado, cego e crossover dois períodos. Participaram vinte pacientes (40 olhos) proliferativa FRL. A escuta musical antes durante FRL foi intervenção não farm...

Distributed Acoustic Sensor (DAS) has potential in applications such as hydroacoustic detection. In this paper, a dual-pulse heterodyne distributed acoustic sensor system using semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA)-based fiber ring laser (FRL) is proposed. Unlike the previous DAS configurations, SOA-based FRL replaces narrow linewidth (NLL) and pulse modulator, reducing costs simplifying system...

Abstract The early diagnosis of myocardial infarction can significantly improve the survival rate in emergency treatment, which is mainly implemented by immunoassay for biomarkers such as cardiac troponins blood. In this work, a disposable optofluidic microtubule whispering gallery mode (WGM) immunosensor label-free troponin I-C (cTnI-C) complex detection has been proposed and demonstrated with...

Staniaszek M., Szczechura W., Marczewski W. (2014): Identification of a new molecular marker C2-25 linked to the Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. radicis-lycopersici resistance Frl gene in tomato. Czech J. Genet. Plant Breed., 50: 285–287. Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht. f.sp. radicis-lycopersici Jarvis & Schoemaker (FORL) is a saprophytic fungus, responsible for the fusarium crown and root rot disease in...

Bacillus subtilis is capable of degrading fructosamines. The phosphorylation and the cleavage of the resulting fructosamine 6-phosphates is catalyzed by the frlD and frlB gene products, respectively. This study addresses the physiological importance of the frlBONMD genes (formerly yurPONML), revealing the necessity of their expression for growth on fructosamines and focusing on the complex regu...

Identification of Anopheles nuneztovari Gabaldón and An. goeldii Rozeboom and Gabaldón based on the male genitalia traits is discussed. An. goeldii is in the synonymy of An. nuneztovari, however, characters of the aedeagus of male genitalia distinguish both species. We hypothesize that An. goeldii may be a valid species, however, further studies using molecular characters, especially ITS2 rDNA ...

An animal model of depression combining genetic vulnerability and early-life stress (ELS) was prepared by submitting the Flinders Sensitive Line (FSL) rats to a standard paradigm of maternal separation. We analysed hippocampal synaptic transmission and plasticity in vivo and ionotropic receptors for glutamate in FSL rats, in their controls Flinders Resistant Line (FRL) rats, and in both lines s...
