The Ability to Assess the Wear of the Carpet Floor by Optical Properties Indicators [PDF]
The article discusses the possibility of analysis of the degree of floor carpet wear by their reflectivity indicators. It is shown that the wear of floor carpets considerably changes their optical properties.

Anomalous layering at the liquid Sn surface
X-ray reflectivity measurements on the free surface of liquid Sn are presented. They exhibit the high-angle peak, indicative of surface-induced layering, also found for other pure liquid metals (Hg, Ga and In).

Sickle Cell Disease Is an Inherent Risk for Asthma in a Sibling Comparison Study
ABSTRACT Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) and asthma share a complex relationship. Although estimates vary, asthma prevalence in children with SCD is believed to be comparable to or higher than the general population. Determining whether SCD confers an increased risk for asthma remains challenging due to overlapping symptoms and the ...

Improvement of 200 kHz optical beam scanner performance with multiple internal reflection
The authors have realised a KTa(x)Nb(1−)(x)O(3)-based optical beam scanner that has three- and five-pass configurations with internal reflection whose scanning angle is exactly proportional to the optical path length.

Excitation of Coherent Phonons in Crystalline B: theory for driving atomic vibrations by femtosecond pulses [PDF]
In this paper we present experimental and theoretical studies of reflectivity oscillations of an optical probe beam reflected from a single-crystal of bismuth excited by 35 fs laser pulses at deposited energy density above the melting temperature ...

The role of short periodic orbits in quantum maps with continuous openings [PDF]
We apply a recently developed semiclassical theory of short periodic orbits to the continuously open quantum tribaker map. In this paradigmatic system the trajectories are partially bounced back according to continuous reflectivity functions.

Psychosocial Outcomes in Patients With Endocrine Tumor Syndromes: A Systematic Review
ABSTRACT Introduction The combination of disease manifestations, the familial burden, and varying penetrance of endocrine tumor syndromes (ETSs) is unique. This review aimed to portray and summarize available data on psychosocial outcomes in patients with ETSs and explore gaps and opportunities for future research and care.

Lifestyle Behaviors and Cardiotoxic Treatment Risks in Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors
ABSTRACT Background Higher doses of anthracyclines and heart‐relevant radiotherapy increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. This study assessed CVD and CVD risk factors among adult childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) across cardiotoxic treatment risk groups and examined associations between lifestyle behaviors and treatment risks.

Influence of the magnetic field on the plasmonic properties of transparent Ni anti-dot arrays [PDF]
Extraordinary optical transmission is observed due to the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in 2-Dimensional hexagonal anti-dot patterns of pure Ni thin films, grown on sapphire substrates. A strong enhancement of the polar Kerr rotation is
