The manipulation of light via nanoengineered surfaces has excited the optical community in the past few decades.Among the many applications enabled by nanophotonic devices, sensing has stood out due to their capability of identifying miniscule refractive index changes.In particular, when free-space propagating light effectively couples into subwave
The Rhox family of homeobox transcription factors comprises established regulators of gonad function, but their downstream targets have been relatively elusive, particularly in the female reproductive tract.Here, we characterize Ins2 as a downstream target of the two granulosa cell-specific factors, Rhox5 and Rhox8, in the ovary.While INS2 is class
The article presents the crystal beaded candle holder basic principles of three-dimensional mathematical modeling of the operation of a thrust plain bearing with fixed pads of the compressor.The model is based on the periodic thermoelastichydrodynamic (PTEHD) theory which allows calculating the temperature at the inlet to the pad and considering th
Ascites and renal dysfunction in cirrhosis occur when the liver disease is decompensated and signify the presence of advanced liver failure.However, the precipitating causes should be looked for and treated.Although liver transplantation is the treatment of choice in patients with advanced liver failure, mild to moderate ascites can be treated effe
In recent years, autonomous maneuver decision-making has emerged as a key technology in autonomous air combat confrontation, garnering widespread attention.A method combining the modified marine predator algorithm (MMPA) and fuzzy inference is proposed to solve the autonomous maneuver decision-making problem of an unmanned combat aerial vehicle cas
