Transverse spin Hall effect and polarization twist ribbon at the sharp focus
In this work, using the Richards-Wolf formalism, we found explicit analytical expressions for the coordinates of the major and minor axes of the polarization ellipse centered in the focal plane for a cylindrical vector beam of integer order n. For such a

Effects of liming on soil physical and chemical properties in Europe and North America: A review
Abstract Soil acidity is one of the major constraints limiting crop production worldwide. About 50% of the global arable land is acidic. Liming remains an effective strategy for soil acidity amelioration and improvement of soil fertility. The objective of this review was to summarize information on liming effects on soil physical and chemical ...

Spin-orbital conversion of the light field immediately behind an ideal spherical lens
The Richards-Wolf equations not only adequately describe a light field distribution at the sharp focus, but are also able to describe a light field distribution just behind an ideal spherical lens, i.e. on a converging spherical wavefront.

Raising the Roof of the World: Intra‐Crustal Asian Mantle Supports the Himalayan‐Tibetan Orogen
Abstract The Himalayan‐Tibetan orogen formed via the ongoing collision of India and Asia. Its colossal elevations stem from buoyant crustal roots that doubled in thickness during continental collision, widely believed to result from Indian crust under‐thrusting its Asian counterpart and Asian crustal thickening. However, a single crustal layer of up to

Stable isotope analysis reveals individual variations in feeding habits among wild Japanese macaques
In this study, we conducted a dietary analysis using stable isotopes on the Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata) group on Koshima Island, Japan. As a result, we clarified the variation in isotope ratios at the individual level, and indicated that this variation is affected by attributes such as sex or dominance‐subordinate relationships in this group ...
