To realize practical wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems, a high-performance N/spl
times/N wavelength multiplexer is introduced that is based on an arrayed-waveguide …

Despite its essential role in human coexistence, the developmental origins and progression
of sympathy in infancy are not yet fully understood. We show that preverbal 10-month-olds …

Protective interventions by a third party on the behalf of others are generally admired, and as
such are associated with our notions of morality, justice and heroism 1 – 4 . Indeed, stories …

Temperature dependent channel wavelength shift in a silica-based arrayed-waveguide
grating multiplexer is successfully suppressed from 0.95 nm to 0.05 nm in the 0-85/spl deg/C …

In bone scintigraphy using 99m Tc with methylenediphosphonate ( 99m Tc-MDP) and
hydroxymethylenediphosphonate ( 99m Tc-HMDP), it takes 2−6 h after an injection before imaging …

Telexistence refers to the general technology that allows humans to experience the real-time
sensation of being in another place, interacting with a remote environment, which may be …

We propose a new low loss groove design for athermal silica-based arrayed-waveguide
grating multiplexers. The insertion loss was 3 dB and the cross talk was -35 dB. The …

This paper describes a compact and practical interleave filter with uniform multi/demultiplexing
properties and a wide operational wavelength range realized by using a lattice-form …

This paper proposes a low-loss technique for eliminating polarization sensitivity in a silica-based
planar lightwave circuit (PLC) which uses a polarization mode converter formed at the …

Varicocele is a common cause of male infertility. It is reported that low sperm concentration,
motility and morphology are indicative of increased sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) in …
