We report a construction of distributed-feedback (DFB) optical microcavities, which is realized through mechanical contact between a high-quality planar thin film of a polymeric semiconductor and a large-area homogeneous nanograting.Using poly[(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl)-alt-(benzo[2,1,3] thiadiazol-4,8-diyl)] (F8BT) as the active medium for th
Assessing the long-term macroevolutionary consequences of sexual selection has been hampered by the difficulty of studying this process in the fossil record.Cytheroid ostracodes offer an excellent system to explore sexual selection in the fossil record because their readily fossilized carapaces are sexually dimorphic.Specifically, males are relativ
Deformed wing virus (DWV) is a lethal virus of honeybees (Apis mellifera) implicated in elevated colony mortality rates Cordyceps worldwide and facilitated through vector transmission by the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor.Clinical, symptomatic DWV infections are almost exclusively associated with high virus titres during pupal development, us
A case of a 19-year-old female with class U3b/C2/V1 uterus conceived a twin Misc. pregnancy with a fetus in each horn after spontaneous conception.She referred to our department with presentation of premature rupture of membranes, with a history of cesarean delivery of a single full term living fetus a year and a half before this delivery.Examinati
The paper introduces a technique for representing quantifier relations Cordyceps that can have different scope order depending on context.The technique is demonstrated by classes of terms denoting relations, where each of the arguments of a relation term is bound by a different quantifier.We represent a formalization of linking quantifiers with the
