In this paper, the optical properties of one dimensional fractal structures are investigated. We consider six typical fractal photonic structures: the symmetric dual cantor-like fractal structure, the asymmetric dual cantor-like fractal structure, the single cantor-like fractal structure, the symmetric dual golden-section fractal structure, the asymmetric dual golden-section fractal structure a...

Golden Rice was engineered from normal rice by Ingo Potrykus and Peter Beyer in the 1990s to help improve human health. Golden Rice has an engineered multi-gene biochemical pathway in its genome [5]. This pathway produces beta-carotene, a molecule that becomes vitamin A when metabolized by humans [6]. Ingo Potrykus worked at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland, and ...

The golden hour is the time following an injury during which appropriate medical attention carries highest likelihood of a better outcome. concept was probably derived from French Military’s World war I data for care trauma victims, but it suitable all types acute emergencies. During these sixty minutes, health providers must focus on eliminating or mitigating effect critical events. If not tim...

The golden section, ϕ = (1 + √5)/2 = 1.618... and its companion ϕ = 1/ϕ = ϕ -1 = 0.618..., are irrational numbers which for centuries were believed to confer aesthetic appeal. In line with the presence of golden sectioning in natural growth patterns, recent EEG recordings show an absence of coherence between brain frequencies related by the golden ratio, suggesting the potential relevance of th...

A Golden Triangle is a triangle with two of its sides in the ratio (J>:1, where is the Fibonacci Ratio, i.e., (J> = ^(1 + /J) ^ 1.618. Let AABC be a triangle whose sides are a,b, and o and let a/b = k > 1. Bicknell and Hoggatt [1] have shown that (1) a triangle with a side equal to b can be removed from AABC to leave a triangle similar to AABC if and only if k = cj), and (2) a triangle simi...

AIM One of the critical aspects of esthetic dentistry is creating geometric or mathematical proportions to relate the successive widths of the anterior teeth. The golden proportion, the recurring esthetic dental (RED) proportion, and the golden percentage are theories introduced in this field. The aim of this study was to investigate the existence of the golden proportion, RED proportion, and t...

BACKGROUND Long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMAs) are recommended for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Glycopyrrolate/eFlow® is an investigational drug-device combination of the LAMA glycopyrrolate administered by an eFlow® Closed System (eFlow® CS) nebulizer. The GOLDEN 2 (NCT01706536) and GOLDEN 6 (NCT02038829) Phase II, multicenter studies were conducted to ...
