An initiative to develop a concerted national programme for the digitization of medieval manuscripts in Germany was launched by five German manuscript centres in January 2013.This new proposal aims at the development of a master plan for the digitization of nearly all surviving medieval manuscripts in Germany and at the establishment of a new fundi
We propose and demonstrate improved and accurate design criteria for mode-selective nonlinear waveguides, using a complete multimode theoretical sippy cups model.Being different from previously reported schemes where only the cross section was considered, the nonlinear conversion efficiency can be further enhanced in the proposed scheme by means of
Estimates of pesticide application hazards have grown to be one of the most common methodologies for evaluating the impact of pest management practices on honey bees.Typically, hazards are estimated by calculating a Hazard Quotient (HQ), which is based on acute toxicity data for different pesticides and the quantity of those pesticides applied to a
Abstract Objectives Neutrophils and neutrophil extracellular traps scooters (NETs) contribute to the vascular complications of multiple diseases, but their role in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is understudied.We sought to test the hypothesis that NETs are implicated in SSc vasculopathy and that treatment with prostacyclin analogs may ameliorate SSc vas
