AOPs Are Not Additive: On the Biogeo-Optical Modeling of the Diffuse Attenuation Coefficient
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 Commonly we see the diffuse attenuation coefficient of downwelling irradiance (Kd) expressed as a sum of the contributions of various constituents. We show here that, both theoretically and numerically, because Kd is an apparent optical property (AOP ...

Whispering gallery modes in semiconductor optical fibres and optical bottle microresonators
, 2013 We explore the optical properties of whispering gallery modes (WGMs) in silicon optical fibres and optical bottle microresonators. In particular, a pump-probe technique is used to experimentally demonstrate thermally induced all-optical modulation.

All-Optical Polarization Control through Brillouin Amplification [PDF]
, 2008 Amplification through stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibers can totally modify the polarization properties of the light, enabling an all-optical polarization control and a direct estimate on the fiber birefringence.THEVESCI-STI-LTInvited ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Results in Physics, 2021 To study the effect of structural symmetry on both the quantity and quality of singular optical properties, a one-dimensional parity-time-symmetric (PT-symmetric) Thue–Morse (TM) optical-waveguide networks family is built and investigated.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Optical properties of mesoporous photonic crystals, filled with dielectrics, ferroelectrics and piezoelectrics [PDF]
Journal of Advanced Dielectrics, 2017 At present, it is very important to create new types of mirrors, nonlinear light frequency transformers and optical filters with controlled optical properties. In this connection, it is of great interest to study photonic crystals.
