The growing demand for communication capacity has driven advancements in optical switches. However, measurement procedures for large-scale switching arrays become more complex as the number of units increases. Multi-port optical switches can reduce the measurement complexity. In this work, we demons...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread globally since 2020. The nucleocapsid (N) protein plays a crucial role in the life cycle of SARS-CoV-2. Here, we established a method to screen inhibitors of N protein by using microscale thermophoresis assays to obtain potentia...

1,7-Hydride transfer-involved dearomatization of quinolines toward C3-spiro hydroquinoline derivatives has been developed. This method offers a protocol to achieve the dearomatization of electron-deficient arenes via the redox-neutral hydride transfer process. A series of C3-spiro hydroquinolines ca...

IntroductionPlatelets, traditionally recognized for their role in hemostasis, have increasingly been implicated in cancer progression, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Beyond releasing growth factors and chemokines, platelets modulate leukocyte-mediated proinflammatory respon...

A delta-sigma modulator (DSM)-based incremental analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is proposed for use in the readout integrated circuit of low-power high-resolution sensors. The proposed incremental delta-sigma ADC (IADC) consists of a second-order cascaded-of-integrators feedforward (CIFF) DSM with...

We have demonstrated an efficient diode-end-pumped continuous-wave Tm:YAG ceramic laser at 1962 nm using a compact two-mirror cavity. The laser oscillation at 1962 nm was realized by increasing the cavity loss at 2016 nm to limit oscillation with the strongest laser gain. For comparison, two differe...

Cobalt disilicide provides a promising nearly epitaxial superconducting material on silicon, which is compatible with high-density integrated circuit technology. We have characterized CoSi2 superconducting microwave cavities around 5.5 GHz for resonance frequency fluctuations at temperatures of 10–2...

The public procurement market in Romania has become increasingly important in recent years, in the context of the harmonization of the national legislation with the European one. Despite the progress made in recent years, public procurement in Romania continues to be a subject of concerns, due to fr...

The reaction of (E)-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one oxime (3) with carboxylic acid anhydrides and fatty acids aiming at the formation of the respective esters unexpectedly produced imides [5a-5c and 5d-5k] (81-95% yields). This work proposes the formation of these imides from the oxime (3) through a mech...

Primary cardiac sarcomas are extremely rare. Echocardiography provides initial information about tumor location and size. However, due to the frequent resemblance to benign myxomas or thrombotic formations, the correct diagnosis often requires a multimodal approach. We report a case of undifferentia...

The aim of this study is to analyze the similarities and differences between the OECD countries in terms of the change in CDS risk premiums. Accordingly, CDS risk premiums of the related countries are taken on a monthly basis for the 30/06/2011 - 30/09/2018 period. The Euclidean distances are calcul...
