Manipulation of Energy Flow with X-Type Vortex

In this study, a new method for manipulating energy flow in a 3D vector field is proposed.In this method, an azimuthally-polarized beam with a noncanonical vortex, the X-type vortex, is focused in a high-numerical aperture system.It is found that, instead of the invariance of the energy flow which is characteristic of the traditional vortex (i.e.,

Estimating Limit Reference Points for Western Pacific Leatherback Turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) in the U.S. West Coast EEZ.

Biological limit reference points (LRPs) for fisheries catch represent upper bounds that avoid undesirable population states.LRPs can support consistent management evaluation among species and regions, and can advance ecosystem-based fisheries management.For transboundary species, LRPs prorated by local abundance can inform local management decisio

Olefin dihydroxylation mediated by Os-Zn-Al hydrotalcite-like catalyst: The scope and reactivity using various co-oxidants

The heterogeneous oxidation of olefins to vicinal diols was investigated using an Os-Zn-Al hydrotalcite-like catalyst (HTlc).The Os-Zn-Al HTlc was synthesised by the co-precipitation method and characterised fully using XRD, FT-IR, TEM, SEM, ICP-OES and BET surface area measurements.The ability of the synthesised Os-Zn-Al HTlc to catalytically dihy
