Political polarization [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007
Failures of government policies often provoke opposite reactions from citizens; some call for a reversal of the policy, whereas others favor its continuation in stronger form. We offer an explanation of such polarization, based on a natural bimodality of preferences in political and economic contexts and consistent with Bayesian rationality.

A Smartphone-Based Biosensor for Non-Invasive Monitoring of Total Hemoglobin Concentration in Humans with High Accuracy

open access: yesBiosensors, 2022
In this paper, we propose a smartphone-based biosensor for detecting human total hemoglobin concentration in vivo with high accuracy. Compared to the existing biosensors used to measure hemoglobin concentration, the smartphone-based sensor utilizes the ...

Probing the Circular Polarization of Relativistic Jets on VLBI Scales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
High resolution studies of circular polarization allow us see where it arises in a jet, study its local fractional level and spectrum, and compare these results to local measures of linear polarization and Faraday rotation.

Polar answers [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Linguistics, 2018
How do people answer polar questions? In this fourteen-language study of answers to questions in conversation, we compare the two main strategies; first, interjection-type answers such asuh-huh(or equivalentsyes,mm, head nods, etc.), and second, repetition-type answers that repeat some or all of the question.

Liquid-Filled Hollow Core Bragg Fiber Sensors Using Different Bandgaps for High-Refractive-Index Sensing

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2019
Liquid-filled hollow core Bragg fibers (HCBFs) provide an excellent platform for refractive index (RI) sensing. The capacity for high-RI sensing based on higher order bandgaps of an HCBF is explored for higher sensitivity.

Evaluating Tissue Mechanical Properties Using Quantitative Mueller Matrix Polarimetry and Neural Network

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Evaluation of the mechanical properties of biological tissues has always been an important issue in the field of biomedicine. The traditional method for mechanical properties measurement is to perform in vitro tissue deformation experiments.

The structure of electronic polarization and its strain dependence

open access: yes, 2008
The $\phi(\kpp)\sim \kpp$ relation is called polarization structure. By density functional calculations, we study the polarization structure in ferroelectric perovskite PbTiO$_3$, revealing (1) the $\kpp$ point that contributes most to the electronic ...

Design of Hollow Core Bragg Fibers for a Compact Fluorescence Sensing Scheme

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2017
We propose a compact fluorescence sensing scheme based on hollow core Bragg fibers (HCBFs) that simultaneously serve as a sample cell, a collector, and a delivery channel for the desired fluorescence, as well as a filter for the residual excitation light

On commutative polarizations

open access: yesJournal of Algebra, 2003
The purpose of this paper is to study finite-dimensional Lie algebras over a field k of characteristic zero which admit a commutative polarization (CP). Among the many results and examples, it is shown that, if k is algebraically closed, the nilradical N of a parabolic subalgebra in A_n and C_n has such a CP.

Cell Polarity: The importance of being polar [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 1995
Cell polarization is often accompanied by cytoskeletal rearrangements. Two signalling proteins, a GTPase and a kinase, are required for both actin and microtubule rearrangements. Are these two systems coupled?
