Models for cosmic birefringence [PDF]

openParity violation allow us to investigate some processes that took place in the early Universe, and to shed light on new physics beyond the Standard Model. We will analyze one of the effects that generate this violation: the Cosmic Birefringence (CB).

Birefringent properties of the human cornea in vivo : towards a new model of corneal structure [PDF]

The fundamental corneal properties of mechanical rigidity, maintenance of curvature and optical transparency result from the specific organisation of collagen fibrils in the corneal stroma. The exact arrangement of stromal collagen is currently unknown

Growth dynamics, skeletochronology, and histovariability of the theropod dinosaur Berthasaura leopoldinae

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Osteohistological sampling on different bones of theropod dinosaur documents discrepant age record, growth, and metabolism. This could result unprecise paleobiological inferences if samplings are based on single bones. However, multi‐bone sampling can attenuate these discrepancies, helping to infer growth dynamics and physiology of these extinct ...

Toward Large‐Scale Photonic Chips Using Low‐Anisotropy Thin‐Film Lithium‐Tantalate

Advanced Science
Photonic manipulation of large‐capacity data with the advantages of high speed and low power consumption is a promising solution for explosive growth demands in the era of post‐Moore. A well‐developed lithium‐niobate‐on‐insulator (LNOI) platform has been

Differences in predominant collagen fiber orientation between dorsal and plantar trabecular bone tracts of adult mule deer calcanei suggest strain‐mode‐specific adaptation

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Polarized microscopic images of the outer bone cortex (a and b) and deeper trabecular bone (c and d) of the deer calcaneus in thin cross‐sections. The brighter gray levels reflect more oblique‐to‐transverse collagen fibers in the compression/dorsal bone (a, c) and the darker gray levels reflect more longitudinal collagen in the tension/plantar bone (b,

Theoretical and experimental analysis of tunable Sagnac high-birefringence loop filter for dual-wavelength laser application [PDF]

, 2011
We present detailed investigations of the spectral dependencies of the transmission of a fiber optical loop mirror (FOLM) consisting of a coupler with output ports spliced at arbitrary angles to a high-birefringence (Hi-Bi) fiber.

Characterization of the extracellular matrix from human and dog umbilical cords

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The extracellular matrix is important for maintaining tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis; it can also be used as a biomaterial for the production of biological scaffolds. Particularly, the umbilical cord has shown potential in the production of scaffolds for small‐diameter vessels.

Postcranial anatomy and osteohistology of an early prozostrodont cynodont from the Upper Triassic of Brazil

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Prozostrodon brasiliensis, a probainognathian cynodont of the clade Prozostrodontia, is recognized as a key taxon for understanding the origin of Mammaliaformes and mammals. Despite detailed investigations of its cranial anatomy, the postcranial skeleton has received comparatively less attention.

Osteohistological evidence for terrestrial adaptation and an extended growth period in mekosuchine crocodylians and its potential role in their extinction

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Australasian crocodylian fossil record is dominated by the extinct endemic clade Mekosuchinae, with known members spanning the Eocene‐to‐Holocene. This diverse clade exhibited high morphological disparity, from early members superficially similar to Crocodylus, to more terrestrial forms later in the clade's evolutionary history.

Decoding Heptazine Architectures: From Molecular Association to Structural Insight

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A comprehensive study (NMR and theoretical) of three novel heptazine derivatives that self‐assemble into dimers has been conducted, highlighting their versatility as a platform for multifunctional supramolecular and optoelectronic materials. ABSTRACT Heptazine (Hpz) derivatives display remarkable supramolecular organization governed by noncovalent ...
