90 degree polarization rotator using a bilayered chiral metamaterial with giant optical activity

, 2010
A bilayered chiral metamaterial (CMM) is proposed to realize a 90 degree polarization rotator, whose giant optical activity is due to the transverse magnetic dipole coupling among the metallic wire pairs of enantiomeric patterns.

Do temporary changes in earnings caused by mean reversion affect firms’ refinancing decisions?

Journal of Financial Research, EarlyView.
Abstract We develop a dynamic two‐stage trade‐off model with refinancing when earnings are mean reverting. Our model predicts a negative relation between profitability and leverage at refinancing due to conservative debt increases. With multiple rounds of refinancing, the leverage–profitability relation may turn positive when firms have substantial ...

Transposable element‐mediated DNA methylation of the NAC20 and NAC26 promoters led to a maternal effect on grain filling

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The rice transcription factor genes NAC20 and NAC26 regulate grain filling and show allele‐specific maternal expression due to transposable element insertions and paternal hypermethylation in their 5' upstream regions. Geographical analyses showed that japonica varieties that originated at high latitudes carried these transposable elements.

Effect of angulation between multi‐unit abutments on trueness of photogrammetry systems

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To compare the trueness between conventional impressions (CI) and photogrammetry for full‐arch implant‐supported prosthesis and to evaluate the effect of increased inter‐abutment angulation on trueness. Materials and Methods Three edentulous reference models containing four multiunit abutment (MUA) replicas with different inter ...

The Role of the Hyoid Bone in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Severity: A Systematic Review

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has numerous complications that negatively impact patients' quality of life. Early diagnosis can significantly reduce these complications. The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between the hyoid bone position and the severity of apnea, and to determine if hyoid‐related cephalometric variables can ...

Contextual measurement model and quantum theory

Royal Society Open Science
We develop a contextual measurement model (CMM) that is used for the clarification of the quantum foundations. This model matches Bohr’s views on the role of experimental contexts.
