… Kalbitzer and Mahler state that they have no conflicts of interest. … Phillipson L. Edge
modification as an indicator of function and handedness of Acheulian handaxes from Kariandusi, …

Substantial neurologic morbidity occurs in survivors of premature birth. Premature infants
are exposed to partial oxygen pressures that are fourfold higher compared to intrauterine …

Terahertz quantum cascade lasers have been investigated with respect to their performance
as a local oscillator in a heterodyne receiver. The beam profile has been measured and …

Purpose The present study examined vocal SPL, voice handicap, and speech characteristics
in Parkinson’s disease (PD) following an extended version of the Lee Silverman Voice …

The quantum cascade laser is a powerful, narrow linewidth, and continuous wave source of
terahertz radiation. The authors have implemented a distributed feedback device in a …

… For the given heterostructure thickness of L = 11 µm or L/λ = 0.12, they are rather small for
dc>80%, but grow considerably until they lead to a radiative efficiency of ∼20% at dc = 60%. …

The increasing use of wearables in smart telehealth system led to the generation of large
medical big data. Cloud and fog services leverage these data for assisting clinical procedures. …

… where L las and L ext are the lengths of the laser and the external beam path, n is the effective
refractive index of the optical mode in the laser, and R facet and R ext are the reflectivities …

Although lasers have found numerous applications, their design is often still based on the
concept of a gain medium within a mirror cavity. Exceptions to this are distributed feedback …
