Astronomical random numbers for quantum foundations experiments [PDF]
, 2018 Photons from distant astronomical sources can be used as a classical source of randomness to improve fundamental tests of quantum nonlocality, wave-particle duality, and local realism through Bell's inequality and delayed-choice quantum eraser tests ...

Biomarkers in routine diagnosis of pleural effusions
Zdravniški Vestnik, 2018 Background: Pleural fluid biochemical analysis is the first step in pleural effusion (PE) diagnostics. Our purpose was to analyse the utility of the biomarkers used at our clinic in the routine diagnosis of PE. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the PE

Electron-spin dynamics in elliptically polarized light waves
, 2014 We investigate the coupling of the spin angular momentum of light beams with elliptical polarization to the spin degree of freedom of free electrons. It is shown that this coupling, which is of similar origin as the well-known spin-orbit coupling, can ...

Validity of pleural lactate dehydrogenase measurements in assessment of pleural effusions [PDF]
Universa Medicina, 2012 Background Pleural effusions are classified into transudates and exudates based on Light’s criteria, but the main disadvantage of Light’s criteria is the misclassification of transudates as exudates in about 20% of cases.

Lumican is overexpressed in lung adenocarcinoma pleural effusions. [PDF]
, 2015 Adenocarcinoma (AdC) is the most common lung cancer subtype and is often associated with pleural effusion (PE). Its poor prognosis is attributable to diagnostic delay and lack of effective treatments and there is a pressing need in discovering new ...

Complete polarization control for a nanofiber waveguide using directional coupling [PDF]
, 2019 Optical nanofiber waveguides are widely used for near-field delivery and measurement of light. Despite their versatility and efficiency, nanofibers have a critical drawback - their inability to maintain light's polarization state on propagation. Here, we
