In this paper, we research the characteristics of the Laguerre-Gaussian (LG01) beams generated in an Er:YAG ceramic solid state laser pumped by Fan Shop - Other - Miscellaneous an annular beam.The generated two LG01 beams (LG0,+1 and LG0,-1 modes) were found to have different thermally induced polarization behaviors and alternately existed in the r
Preeclampsia impedes foetal kidney development by delivering placenta-derived exosomes to glomerular endothelial cells
Abstract Background Foetal renal dysplasia is still the main cause of adult renal disease.Placenta-derived exosomes are an important communication tool, and they may play an important role in placental (both foetal and maternal) function.We hypothesize that in women with preeclampsia, foetal renal dysplasia is impeded by delivering placenta-derived
MCORD - MPD Cosmic Ray Detector a new features
The main detector system at the Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) located in Dubna, Russia is the Multi-Purpose Detector (MPD).For better calibration reason, the MPD needs an additional trigger system for an off-beam calibration of MPD sub-detectors and for Tick Control - Collars rejection (veto) of cosmic muons.The system should also be
US and EU Free Trade Agreements and implementation of policies to control tobacco, alcohol, and unhealthy food and drinks: A quasi-experimental analysis.
BackgroundIdentifying and tackling the factors that undermine regulation of unhealthy commodities is an essential component of effective noncommunicable disease (NCD) prevention.Unhealthy commodity producers may use rules in US and EU Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) to challenge policies targeting their products.We aimed to test whether there was a st
The Challenges of Tachycardia Induced Cardiomyopathy - a Case Report
Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) is characterized by reversible left ventricular dysfunction caused by long-standing tachycardia.Treatment options for tachyarrhythmias causing TIC have evolved, especially the rhythm control strategies, ensuring a better and more sustainable control of the arrhythmia.We report the case of a 46-year-old male
