Abstract Free-space optical communications are poised to alleviate the data-flow bottleneck experienced by spacecraft as traditional radio frequencies reach their practical limit.While enabling orders-of-magnitude gains in data rates, optical signals impose much stricter pointing requirements and are strongly affected by atmospheric turbulence.Cohe

Abstract Freehand optical ultrasound (OpUS) imaging is an emerging ultrasound imaging Chews paradigm that uses an array of fibre-optic, photoacoustic ultrasound sources and a single fibre-optic ultrasound detector to perform ultrasound imaging without the need for electrical components in the probe head.Previous freehand OpUS devices have demonstra

Organophosphonates such as isopropyl metylphosphonofluoridate (sarin) are extremely toxic as they phosphonylate the catalytic serine residue of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), an enzyme MAKEUP essential to humans and other species.Design of effective AChE reactivators as antidotes to various organophosphonates requires information on how the reactivat

All nitrogen-fixing root nodule symbioses of angiosperms-legume and actinorhizal symbioses-possess a common ancestor.Molecular processes for the induction of root nodules are modulated by phytohormones, as is the case of the first nodulation-related transcription factor NODULE INCEPTION (NIN), whose expression can be induced by exogenous cytokinin

Profitability is one of the essential elements in the process of assessing performance in banking finance.Bank needs to keep its profitability to maintain the continuity of its corporation.In the process of attaining income and making profit, a bank commonly does many efforts.One of them is through offering the credits to the public.However, in fac
