Assembling different materials into one optical fiber to realize multifunctional all-fiber devices is always a challenging task mainly because of its incompatibility with current microfabrication technology. Although various devices have been proposed to achieve “all-fiber” optoelectronic functions, most of the times these devices cannot connect seamlessly with the mainstream optical fiber system (silica): this is a serious impairment to their further implementation in practical applications. Here, a new integrating approach by directly combining low-dimensional optoelectronic...

Liver cancer is the sixth most prevalent cancer, and the third most frequent cause of cancer-related deaths. Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a kind of special endogenous ncRNAs, have been coming back to the forefront of cancer genomics research. In this study, we employed a systems biology approach to construct and analyze the circRNA molecular regulatory networks in the context of liver cancer. We detected a total of 127 differentially expressed circRNAs and 3,235 differentially expressed mRNAs....

This data set provides estimates of above-ground biomass (AGB), canopy height, and percent tree cover at 30-m spatial resolution for Sonoma County, California, USA, for the nominal year 2013. Biomass estimates, megagrams of biomass per hectare (Mg/ha) were generated using a combination of LiDAR data, field plot measurements, and random forest modeling approaches. Estimates of AGB uncertainty are also provided. Maximum canopy height and tree cover were derived from LiDAR data and high-resolution National Agriculture...

CERN-LHC. Measurements of the cross section for ZZ production using the 4l and 2l2nu decay channels in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV with 20.3 fb^-1 of data collected in 2012. The final states used are 4 electrons, 4 muons, 2 electrons and 2 muons, 2 electrons and missing transverse momentum, and 2 muons and missing transverse momentum (MET). The uncertainty on the global normalisation ("Lumi") is 1.9%. See JHEP 01 (2017)...

La investigación pasa por diferentes etapas, una vez publicado el artículo científico no se puede dar por cerrada ésta. A partir de este momento se abre una nueva fase para intentar alcanzar el máximo impacto posible. En esta sesión se presentan diferentes aspectos y recursos que pueden ayudar a aumentar la visibilidad, y quizás las citas, de los artículos científicos.

La ingente cantidad de información que existe actualmente hace necesario el desarrollo de herramientas, métodos y procesos que faciliten el acceso a la misma. Especialmente, se requieren sistemas de información que sean eficientes y precisos. Las técnicas de indexación cuentan con una larga tradición en este ámbito. Sin embargo, su aplicación a gran escala y en el contexto de la Web no siempre es viable por la magnitud y la heterogeneidad de la información presente...

We demonstrate a novel 2-step method to precisely determine both n and k of phosphors, luminescent inorganic particles, in the visible spectrum. To measure n we modified the Becke Line immersion method and verified its applicability in the absorption/ emission regions of phosphor particles (step 1). Particles were then embedded into a transparent binder and coated in thick layers (100-500 µm) on glass. Absorptance of the layers was measured with a novel approach: spectral angular...

Social structure influences animal societies on various levels (e.g., relatedness, behaviour). In ants, both the number of matings per queen and the number of queens per colony can vary strongly. While workers from both monogynous and polygynous colonies often fight fiercely, in supercolonies (an extreme form of polygyny comprising thousands of queens in spatially separated but interconnected nests), non-nestmates interact peacefully. Studies on social and behavioural polymorphism within ant species can help elucidate their influence...

A series of novel triazolothione, thiadiazole, triazole functionalized furo/thieno [2,3-b] pyridine derivatives 9a-l respectively were prepared starting from 2 (1H) pyridone 3 via selective O/S-alkylation followed by Thorpe-Ziegler cyclization to form furo/thieno [2,3-b] pyridine derivatives 6. Compounds 6 on reaction with hydrazine hydrate resulted carbohydrazide derivatives 7 further reacted with diverse substituted phenyl isothiocyanates to form phenyl hydrazine carbothiamide derivatives 8. Each compound 8 is independently reacted in presence of NaOH, H2SO4 and N2H4.H2O to...

Laser tattoo removal is an effective method of eliminating tattoo particles in the skin. However, laser treatment cannot always remove the unwanted tattoo completely, and there are risks of either temporary or permanent side effects. Studies using preclinical animal models could provide detailed information on the effects of laser treatment on skin, and might help to minimize side effects in clinical practices. In this study, two-photon microscopy (TPM) was used to visualize the laser treatment...
