Costs and Benefits of Prenatal Screening For Cystic Fibrosis [PDF]

Newly-developed genetic tests based on restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) promise to facilitate the early detection of genetic diseases. Several such tests are now available for the prenatal detection of cystic fibrosis (CF), a common and ...

Parameter Investigation for Stamp Manufacturing of Complex 3D Geometries Using Nanoimprint Lithography

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Nanoimprint lithography can replicate complex 3D microstructures with undercuts using single‐layer polymer stamps of different elasticities. By combining experiments and simulations, T‐shaped geometries and suitable undercut radii were identified that minimize stress and defects during demolding.

Coherent Absorption Reveals Colors Hidden in a Grey Fabry–Pérot Cavity

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A dielectric thin film shows colors depending on its thickness; this effect can be used to encode information normally accessible through single‐beam spectroscopy. We developed a method to conceal this kind of information, based on coating the dielectric with a matched conductor, that suppresses the color‐bearing thin‐film resonances.

Self-balanced switched capacitors based thirteen level three-fold multilevel inverter for solar PV applications

Scientific Reports
While the conventional topologies of multilevel inverters (MLIs) operate with unity voltage gain, switched capacitors-based MLIs (SCMLIs) offer a solution to realize an inherent voltage gain of more than one, thereby stepping up the voltage in the ...

A Cost-Effective and High-Efficiency Novel 15-Level Hybrid MLI Topology for Renewable Energy Systems

Gazi Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi
In this paper, a new hybrid model for single DC source multilevel inverters (MLIs) is proposed. The proposed switched diode (SD) and high frequency link (HFL) hybrid structure utilizes a single DC source voltage and supplies multiple DC voltages to the ...
