Recent advances in designing time-reversal-invariant photonic topological insulators have been extended down to the deep subwavelength scale, by employing synthetic photonic matter made of dense periodic arrangements of ...

This study introduces an enhanced generalized progressive Type-II hybrid censoring scheme incorporating binomial random removals, which provides a more realistic alternative to fixed removal patterns commonly assumed in ...

This Campbell systematic review examines the effects of recovery schools on student behavioral and academic outcomes, compared to the effects of non‐recovery schools. The review summarizes evidence from one quasi‐exp...

This Campbell systematic review examines the impact of reducing the maximum duration of unemployment benefits on job‐finding rates. Seven studies were included in the review, all of which are from European countries. I...

Abstract Background Limited knowledge regarding the relative effectiveness of workplace accident prevention approaches creates barriers to informed decision‐making by policy makers, public health practitioners, workpla...

Gallium phosphide (GaP) offers unique opportunities for nonlinear and quantum nanophotonics due to its wide optical transparency range, high second-order nonlinear susceptibility, and the possibility to tailor the nonlin...

Sexual offender treatment programs to reduce reoffending have been implemented in many countries as part of a strategy in managing this offender group. However, there are still controversies regarding their effectiveness...

Space debris will become a more prevalent issue in this decade as technological advancements and greater dependencies on communications require more satellites in orbit, with some companies already hosting mega-constella...

Abstract Background Various designs of dental implants made of zirconium dioxide (zirconia) as an alternative to titanium implants are available as one-piece implant (OPI) or as bone-level or tissue-level two-piece impla...

O experimento foi conduzido com o objetivo de avaliar os efeitos do nível de substituição da proteína do farelo de soja pela proteína do farelo de coco em rações contendo farelo da castanha de caju sobre o desempe...

Due to their promising properties, surface magneto plasmons have attracted great interests in the field of plasmonics recently. Apart from flexible modulation of the plasmonic properties by an external magnetic...

Recently there is an increasing interest in complex optical fields with spatially inhomogeneous state of polarizations and optical singularities. Novel effects and phenomena have been predicted and observed for...

We propose two designs of low-loss and temperature-insensitive single-mode waveguide crossing on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform with 415-nm operation bandwidth covering all optical communication bands. Both designs ...

Over the past decade, orbital angular momentum has garnered considerable interest in the field of plasmonics owing to the emergence of surface-confined vortices, known as plasmonic vortices. Significant progress has been...

Abstract Background Anxiety and stress responses are often considered normative experiences, and children and adolescents may benefit from anxiety prevention programmes. One such programme is FRIENDS which is based on a ...

Abstract Background Air pollution poses a significant threat to global public health. While broad mitigation policies exist, an understanding of the economic consequences, both in terms of health benefits and mitigation ...

This Campbell systematic review assesses the effectiveness of school‐based decision‐making. The review summarises findings from 17 impact studies and nine studies of barriers and enablers. School‐based decision‐m...

Abstract Background Class size reductions in general education are some of the most researched educational interventions in social science, yet researchers have not reached any final conclusions regarding their effects. ...

Abstract Background Digital teaching methods are established for imparting theoretical knowledge in the training of health professions. While digital formats are increasingly used in education, evidence on their capacity...

Abstract The ground plane plays an important role on the performance of a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA). In this regard, the ground plane modification using slots is proposed in this research to obtain a dual band ant...

Abstract A flexure hinge is a major component in designing compliant mechanisms that offers unique possibilities in a wide range of application fields in which high positioning accuracy is required. Although various flex...

Despite being an indirect bandgap material, germanium (Ge) recently appeared as a material of choice for low power consumption optical link on silicon. Thanks to a low energy difference between direct and indirect energy...

Abstract Personnel within occupational employment (e.g., military/emergency services) are exposed to various stressors concurrently including psychological, cognitive, physical and environmental. Historically, stressors ...

Abstract Background Biomarkers are widely used in oncology research to study disease progression and predict survival outcomes. Pooling biomarker data across studies can improve precision, but pooled analyses are often a...
