Characterization of Liposomes Using Quantitative Phase Microscopy (QPM) [PDF]

Pharmaceutics, 2021
The rapid development of nanomedicine and drug delivery systems calls for new and effective characterization techniques that can accurately characterize both the properties and the behavior of nanosystems. Standard methods such as dynamic light scattering (DLS) and fluorescent-based assays present challenges in terms of system’s instability, machine ...

An Evaluation of Kernel Zinc in Hybrids of Elite Quality Protein Maize (QPM) and Non-QPM Inbred Lines Adapted to the Tropics Based on a Mating Design

Agronomy, 2020
Genetic improvement of maize with elevated levels of zinc (Zn) can reduce Zn deficiency among populations who rely on maize as a staple. Inbred lines of quality protein maize (QPM) and non-QPM with elevated Zn levels in the kernel have been identified ...

Quark susceptibilities, transport properties and heavy quark production in an extended Quasi-Particle Model with Nf = 2 + 1 + 1 flavors [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2023
The quark susceptibilities are a very useful tool to understand the nature of the degrees of freedom in the vicinity of the QCD phase transition while Heavy-Quarks (HQs) transport coefficients give us information on their thermalization time in the Quark-

On-chip polarization management for stable nonlinear signal generation in thin-film lithium niobate. [PDF]

Nanophotonics
Abstract Nonlinear signal generation requires precise control of the input polarization to satisfy phase‐matching conditions. Conventional polarization management using external fiber polarization controllers or bulk wave plates increases coupling complexity and can degrade polarization fidelity and conversion efficiency in nonlinear photonic systems ...

Heritability and Associations among Grain Yield and Quality Traits in Quality Protein Maize (QPM) and Non-QPM Hybrids

Plants, 2022
Maize (Zea mays L.) is the main staple cereal food crop cultivated in southern Africa. Interactions between grain yield and biochemical traits can be useful to plant breeders in making informed decisions on the traits to be considered in breeding programs for high grain yield and enhanced quality.

Behavioural insights to support increased consumption of quality protein maize by young children: a cluster randomised trial in Ethiopia

BMJ Global Health, 2020
Introduction Biofortified crops have tremendous potential to improve child nutrition. We tested whether complementing the distribution of quality protein maize (QPM) with a package of interventions informed by behavioural insights could support greater ...

Exact cascading nonlinearity in quasi-phase-matched quadratic media [PDF]

, 2014
The evolution of light pulses and beams in a quasi-phase-matched (QPM) quadratic medium is usually described by considering only the spatial harmonic of the QPM grating that minimizes the residual phase-mismatch.

High-throughput spatial sensitive quantitative phase microscopy using low spatial and high temporal coherent illumination

Scientific Reports, 2021
High space-bandwidth product with high spatial phase sensitivity is indispensable for a single-shot quantitative phase microscopy (QPM) system. It opens avenue for widespread applications of QPM in the field of biomedical imaging.
