In this paper we image the highly confined long range plasmons of a nanoscale metal stripe waveguide using quantum emitters.Plasmons were excited using a highly focused 633 nm laser beam and a specially designed grating structure to provide frame cover stronger incoupling to the desired mode.A homogeneous thin layer of quantum dots was used to imag

Voltage-gated Kv1.3 potassium channels are key regulators of T lymphocyte activation, proliferation and cytokine production, by providing the necessary membrane hyper-polarization for calcium influx following immune stimulation.It is noteworthy that an accumulating body of in vivo and in vitro evidence links these channels to multiple sclerosis pat

Deploying multiple heterogeneous controllers at the control level of a software-defined data center is an effective way to increase security.In view of the deployment strategy of MAGNESIUM/POTASSIUM ASPARTATES controllers under different security requirements of the network,a game model was presented.Specifically,firstly,the game theory was used to

The Lower Permian Dolese locality has produced numerous exquisitely preserved tetrapod fossils representing members of JUINIPER a lower Permian upland fauna.Therein, at least nine taxa of the clade Dissorophoidea, ranging in size from the large predaceous trematopid Acheloma to the miniaturized amphibamid Doleserpeton, highlight the great taxic and

Abstract Background We compared mortality by cause of death in HIV-infected adults in the era of combined antiretroviral therapy with mortality in the general population in the same age and sex groups.Methods Mortality by cause of death was analyzed for the period 1999-2006 in the cohort of persons aged 20-59 years diagnosed with HIV infection and
