This paper reviews several topics related to optically pumped ZnO nanowire lasers. A
systematic study of the various properties of a device as it evolves from the regime of …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: A fast-track program is a multimodal approach for patients
undergoing colonic surgery that combines stringent regimens of perioperative care (fluid …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Malnutrition is a recognized risk factor for perioperative morbidity,
but there is currently no standardized definition of malnutrition. The Nutrition Risk Screening …

We have compared expression systems based on autonomously replicating vectors in the
yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Kluyveromyces lactis …

Direct evidence of the transition from amplified spontaneous emission to laser action in
optically pumped zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires, at room temperature, is presented. The optical …

Because of declining enrollment and school closures in some German regions students
have to choose a certain school location from a reduced set of schools. For the analysis of …

The fabrication of three-dimensional assemblies consisting of large quantities of nanowires
is of great technological importance for various applications including (electro-) catalysis …

Axonal loss is a major component of the pathology of multiple sclerosis (MS) and the
morphological basis of permanent clinical disability. It occurs in demyelinating plaques but …

Background Primary squamous cell cancer (PSCC) of thyroid is a rare malignancy with poor
prognosis. It is mandatory to exclude secondary involvement of the thyroid by …

We use tapered silica fibers to inject laser light into ZnO nanowires with diameters around
250 nm to study their waveguiding properties. We find that high-order waveguide modes are …
