Photometric CCD UB VI C photometry obtained for 4860 stars surrounding the embedded southern cluster SAI 113 (Skiff 8) is used to examine the reddening in the field and derive the distance to the cluster and nearby van G...

Crop wild relatives (CWR) are plant taxa closely related to crops and are a source of high genetic diversity that can help adapt crops to the impacts of global change, particularly to meet increasing consumer demand in t...

The Timor green pigeon Treron psittaceus, endemic to Timor, Rote, and adjacent satellite islands (eastern Indonesia and Timor-Leste), is declining because of severe hunting pressure and forest conversion. During 2002–2...

Microring resonators (MRRs) are the important devices for the development of silicon-based optoelectronic integrated chips. Their composition of optical modules, such as optical modulators, switches, and optical logic ga...

Slot-type nanogaps have been widely utilized in transmission geometry because of their advantages of exclusive light funneling and exact quantification of near-field enhancement at the gap. For further application of the...

In his writing on solastalgia, Glenn A. Albrecht, the creator of the term, only stops for a brief moment to ponder on the possibility of an animal solastalgia. While he does not elaborate on the topic, he admits that in ...

ABSTRACT Amazonia (defined herein as the Amazon basin) is home to the greatest concentration of biodiversity on Earth, providing unique genetic resources and ecological functions that contribute to ecosystem services glo...

Sensing the scattered fields of single metallic nanostructures is a crucial step towards the applications of isolated plasmonic antennas, such as for the sensing of single molecules or nanoparticles. In the past, both ne...

Copper metal nanoparticles (Nps) have received increasing interest during the last years due to their potential applications in several fields of science and technology. Their optical properties depend on the characteris...

In the work, the regularities of high-temperature heat-mass exchange in two-fraction gas suspensions of carbon particles in heated air are studied. These studies are relevant for predicting high-temperature processes in ...

Erythrosuchidae were large-bodied, quadrupedal, predatory archosauriforms that dominated the hypercarnivorous niche in the aftermath of the Permo-Triassic mass extinction. Garjainia, one of the oldest members of the clad...

NOS ÚLTIMOS vinte anos vimos presenciando um notável avanço no que diz respeito ao conhecimento acerca dos mecanismos moleculares envolvidos na aquisição, consolidação e expressão de memórias. Porém, e apesar d...

Context. Planetary nebulae (PN) have long been known to consist of gas, molecules and dust. The vast majority of the work in which properties of the dust of these objects are inferred were carried out with infrared obser...

We study the evolution of dust in a cosmological volume using a hydrodynamical simulation in which the dust production is coupled with the MUPPI (MUlti Phase Particle Integrator) sub-resolution model of star formation an...

In the last decades there have been significant advances in our understanding of the cellular and subcellular mechanisms underlying changes in synaptic connectivity that subserve memory formation. The so called Theory of...

Presentamos un análisis fotométrico y polarimétrico de estrellas OB conocidas por búsquedas de este tipo de estrellas en la región de Puppis. Se ha identificado una nueva asociación a una distancia de 2.6 kpc desde...

We report on a three-waveguide electro-optic switch for compact photonic integrated circuits and data routing applications. The device features a plasmonic metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) mode for enhanced ...

The reversible insulating-to-conducting phase transition (ICPT) of vanadium dioxide (VO2) makes it a versatile candidate for the implementation of integrated optical devices. In this paper, a bi-functional in-line optica...

Com o intuito de fornecer subsídios para programas de melhoramento, conservação e expansão da raça Indubrasil do Nordeste brasileiro, avaliaram-se o histórico evolutivo, as estimativas de parâmetros genéticos e a...

The goal of this work is to search for Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in the Galactic disc at very low latitudes with |b| < 2◦. For this, we studied the five sources from the VVV near-infrared (IR) galaxy catalogue that ...

In atomic multi-level systems, adiabatic elimination (AE) is a method used to minimize complicity of the system by eliminating irrelevant and strongly coupled levels by detuning them from one another. Such a three-level ...

Abstract The progressive erosion of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) in Java, a process exacerbated by colonial disruption, has created a critical disjuncture in biodiversity data. This research examined the 19th-c...

The ongoing biodiversity disappearance on islands worldwide is alarming. Without an accurate biodiversity assessment, it is impossible to stop the loss of the world’s islands irreplaceable natural heritage. To assess b...
