We report on high usssa pro m softballs power, single-frequency operation of a compact Tm:Y2O3 ceramic laser in 2 μm spectral region employing a volume Bragg grating in a simple linear resonator to serve simultaneously as a resonator mirror and mode selector.The home developed laser quality Tm:Y2O3 ceramic sample has a Tm doped concen
Alvin Toffler from "Future Shock" (1982) fame may be regarded as the futurist who gave renewed impetus to social responsibility.Big business has marked social responsibility as a priority on their business agenda.Successful organisations, such as the Anglo-American Corporation, Barlows, Murray and Roberts, and food chains like Checkers and Pick-n-P
Recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAVs) have emerged as one of the most promising gene therapy vectors that have been successfully used in pre-clinical models of heart disease.However, this has not translated well to humans due to species differences in rAAV transduction efficiency.As a result, the search for human cardiotropic capsids is a ma
In terms of its sub-regional differentiation, the hippocampal CA1 region receives cortical information directly via the perforant (temporoammonic) path (pp-CA1 synapse) and indirectly via the tri-synaptic pathway where the last relay station is the Schaffer collateral-CA1 synapse (Sc-CA1 synapse).Research to date on pp-CA1 synapses has been conduct
Abstract Background Despite the biological and economic significance of scleractinian reef-building corals, the lack of large molecular datasets for a representative range of species limits understanding of many aspects of their biology.Within the Scleractinia, based on molecular evidence, it is generally recognised that there are two major clades,
