Analytical Formulas for Dispersion and Effective Area in Hollow-Core Tube Lattice Fibers
In this work, we propose analytical formulas for the estimation of dispersion properties and effective area of the fundamental mode of hollow-core inhibited coupling fibers with a microstructured cladding composed by a ring of dielectric tubes.

Naturally Compatible: Starch Acetate/Cellulosic Fiber Composites. I. Processing and Properties [PDF]
Composite compounds based on hemp and flax fibers in triethyl citrate plasticized starch acetate were prepared by melt processing. For better properties and processability, compounds with plasticizer contents in the range 20-35 wt% were screened ...

Influence of the aerosol flow and exposure time on the structural changes in the filtering half masks material [PDF]
The flow of air and aerosol particles through the filtering half masks material depends on the structure porosity. It is very difficult to determine the behaviour of the filtering material during the process of extraction and retention of aerosols.

Surface Properties of Vitreous Fibers
The surface properties of various vitreous fibers, suspected to be toxic to humans and animals, were investigated by means of paramagnetic labels covalently linked to the surface. Computer-aided analysis of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra provided structural and dynamic information on the label and its environment.

Slow Light Propagation in a Thin Optical Fiber via Electromagnetically Induced Transparency [PDF]
We propose a novel configuration that utilizes electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) to tailor a fiber mode propagating inside a thin optical fiber and coherently control its dispersion properties to drastically reduce the group velocity of the ...

Golden spiral photonic crystal fiber: polarization and dispersion properties [PDF]
A golden spiral photonic crystal fiber (GS-PCF) design is presented in which air holes are arranged in a spiral pattern governed by the golden ratio, where the design has been inspired by the optimal arrangement of seeds found in nature.

Reducing Plastic in Consumer Goods: Opportunities for Coarser Wool
Production and use of plastic products have drastically increased during the past decades and their environmental impacts are increasingly spotlighted. At the same time, coarse wool, a by-product of meat and dairy production, goes largely unexploited in ...
