We demonstrate a passively mode-locked diode-pumped thin-disk Yb:YAG laser generating 810-fs pulses at 1030 nm with as much as 60 W of average output power (without using an amplifier). At a pulse repetition rate of 34.3 MHz, the pulse energy is 1.75 microJ and the peak power is as high as 1.9 MW. The beam quality is close to the diffraction limit, with M2 < 1.1.

Previous work has indicated a clear, consistent diurnal cycle in rainfall and cold cloudiness coverage around tropical cyclones. This cycle may have important implications for structure and intensity changes of these storms and the forecasting of such changes. The goal of this paper is to use passive and active microwave measurements from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave...

We have analyzed ∼600 ks of Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer data of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary and Z source GX 17+2. A study was performed of the properties of the noise components and quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) as a function of the spectral properties, with the main goal to study the relation between the frequencies of the horizontal branch and upper kHz QPOs. It was found that...

Only one of 23 gentamicin-resistant cultures of Staphylococcus aureus transferred its resistance in mixed culture in broth to the non-lysogenic S. aureus strain 1030; the transfer-frequency was 10(-3)-10(-4). Transfer between non-lysogenic clones of strain 1030 occurred at a similar frequency in urine, and at a frequency of approximately 10(-1) in serum. The resistance determinant for transfer ...

OBJECTIVES To develop a neuro-fuzzy system to predict the presence of prostate cancer. Neuro-fuzzy systems harness the power of two paradigms: fuzzy logic and artificial neural networks. We compared the predictive accuracy of our neuro-fuzzy system with that obtained by total prostate-specific antigen (tPSA) and percent free PSA (%fPSA). METHODS The data from 1030 men (both outpatients and ho...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of malnutrition and explore the somatic, psychological, functional, and social or lifestyle characteristics linked to malnutrition in elderly people at a hospital in Turkey. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study included 1030 patients older than 65 years of age who were seen at the internal medicine and geriatrics outpatient clinics of the s...
