Wide-angle broadband antireflection coatings based on boomerang-like alumina nanostructures in visible region

Scientific Reports, 2022
A novel boomerang-like alumina based antireflective coating with ultra-low reflectance has been produced for light incidence angles form 0 up to 45°. Boomerang-like alumina nanostructures have been fabricated on the BK7 glass substrates by dip-coating ...

Testing the Effect of Social Norms Theory-based Interventions: Are they Harmful for University Students who Drink Less than the Peer Norm?

Psichologija, 2021
Background. Social norms theory-based interventions have been widely used to reduce alcohol consumption among college and university students. Lately, it has been argued that such interventions may actually increase alcohol use among light drinkers ...

Systemic Reconfiguration of Capitalism: Applying Ruggie’s Critique of Waltz in Economics

Contexto Internacional, 2021
This paper identifies changes in the center-periphery structure due to transformations in capitalism since 1970. In its new configuration, capitalism not only altered center-periphery relations but also exerted impact upon peripheral units that affect ...

Quantum boomeranglike effect of wave packets in random media [PDF]

, 2019
We unveil an original manifestation of Anderson localization for wave packets launched with a finite average velocity: after an initial ballistic motion, the center of mass of the wave packet experiences a retroreflection and slowly returns to its ...

Vertical Dependency of Aerosol Impacts on Local Scale Convective Precipitation

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Aerosol effects on convective precipitation is critical for understanding human impacts on extreme weather and the hydrological cycle. However, even their signs and magnitude remain debatable.

Quantum boomerang effect: Beyond the standard Anderson model [PDF]

Physical Review A, 2021
It was recently shown that wavepackets with skewed momentum distribution exhibit a boomerang-like dynamics in the Anderson model due to Anderson localization: after an initial ballistic motion, they make a U-turn and eventually come back to their starting point.

Direct-to-Consumer Drug Advertisements Can Paradoxically Increase Intentions to Adopt Lifestyle Changes

Frontiers in Psychology, 2016
Background: Direct-to-consumer (DTC) prescription drug advertisements are thought to induce boomerang effects, meaning they reduce the perceived effectiveness of the alternative option: non-pharmaceutical treatment via lifestyle change. Past research has

Images of the Early Universe from the BOOMERanG experiment [PDF]

, 2001
The CMB is the fundamental tool to study the properties of the early universe and of the universe at large scales. In the framework of the Hot Big Bang model, when we look to the CMB we look back in time to the end of the plasma era, at a redshift ...
