, 2017 Refraction deflects photons that pass through atmospheres, which affects transit light curves. Refraction thus provides an avenue to probe physical properties of exoplanet atmospheres and to constrain the presence of clouds and hazes.

Total Reflection and Negative Refraction of Dipole-Exchange Spin Waves at Magnetic Interfaces: Micromagnetic Modeling Study [PDF]
, 2007 We demonstrated that dipole-exchange spin waves traveling in geometrically restricted magnetic thin films satisfy the same laws of reflection and refraction as light waves.

Refraction problems after refractive surgery
Survey of Ophthalmology, 1988 While refractive surgery such as radial keratotomy, epikeratophakia, and corneal relaxing incisions offer many potential benefits to patients, they can also generate optical problems such as overcorrection or undercorrection of the prior refractive error and variable vision.

Uniform refraction in negative refractive index materials [PDF]
Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 2015 We study the problem of constructing an optical surface separating two homogeneous, isotropic media, one of which has a negative refractive index. In doing so, we develop a vector form of Snell's law, which is used to study surfaces possessing a certain uniform refraction property, both in the near and far field cases. In the near field problem, unlike

Mode conversion in periodically disturbed thin‐film waveguides [PDF]
, 1974 Mode conversion in a periodically perturbed thin‐film optical waveguide is studied in detail. Three different types of perturbations are considered: periodic index of refraction of the film, periodic index of refraction of the substrate, and periodic ...

Refraction in radioastronomy [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1979 In the last few years there was no paper in the astronomical literature reporting on new measurements of radioastronomical refraction. But there are some important review papers on different aspects of this topic, e.g. on the ionosphere by M.M. Komesaroff (1960) and T.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...

Liquid crystal hyperbolic metamaterial for wide-angle negative-positive refraction and reflection [PDF]
, 2014 We show that nanosphere dispersed liquid crystal (NDLC) metamaterial can be characterized in near IR spectral region as an indefinite medium whose real parts of effective ordinary and extraordinary permittivities are opposite in signs. Based on this fact

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study investigates an alternative approach to reactivating the oncosuppressor p53 in cancer. A short peptide targeting the association of the two p53 inhibitors, MDM2 and MDM4, induces an otherwise therapeutically active p53 with unique features that promote cell death and potentially reduce toxicity towards proliferating nontumor cells.

Dielectric Properties and Dipole Moment of Edible Oils Subjected to ‘Frying’ Thermal Treatment
Foods, 2020 The dielectric properties of six refined edible oils with different fatty-acid compositions were determined for oils incubated at 180 °C up to 40 h. The oil degradation was evaluated by the dielectric dispersion and dielectric loss in the frequency range
