Leptospirosis in Sri Lanka

open access: yesSri Lankan Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2017
Leptospirosis has become one of the most important infectious diseases in Sri Lanka over the last few years. Though it was well documented and investigated in the 1960’s and 70’s, the disease was mostly forgotten for more than 30 years. Leptospirosis has not been among the diseases under scientific investigation in Sri Lanka even after an outbreak in ...

Design and Characterization of Low‐Threshold InP Nanowire Photonic Crystal Surface‐Emitting Lasers

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
The lasing performance of nanowire (NW) photonic crystal surface‐emitting lasers (PCSELs) is highly sensitive to changes in the photonic crystal lattice constant and the NW diameter. This study systematically investigates the threshold power and the threshold gain for different PCSEL geometries.

Staging an Experience of Cultural Heritage Preservation: Consumers' Willingness to Pay for Heirloom Rice in the Philippines

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Cordillera Administrative Region in the Philippines is home to terraced rice embedded in centuries of cultural heritage. However, weak market incentives threaten sustained production, jeopardizing indigenous communities' cultural heritage and the in situ biodiversity of rice genetic resources.

An empirical analysis of sustainability of trade deficit: Evidence from Sri Lanka [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In this paper, the long-run relationship between Sri Lanka exports and imports during the period 1950 to 2006 is examined using unit root tests and co-integration techniques that allow for an endogenously determined structural break.

CrossMatAgent: AI‐Assisted Design of Manufacturable Metamaterial Patterns via Multi‐Agent Generative Framework

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
CrossMatAgent is a multi‐agent framework that combines large language models and diffusion‐based generative AI to automate metamaterial design. By coordinating task‐specific agents—such as describer, architect, and builder—it transforms user‐provided image prompts into high‐fidelity, printable lattice patterns.

A Mini‐Patch Magnetic Insulin Pump for Enhanced Delivery Resolution and Accuracy

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A miniaturized, high‐resolution magnetic insulin pump is developed by proposing a unique magnetic pumping mechanism, where insulin dispensing is achieved through a magnetic soft actuator that directly compresses the insulin chamber. The device occupies less than one‐quarter the size of piston‐based pumps and allows for a 0.01 μL delivery resolution ...
