Specifically, laser nano structuring of an ultra thin metal film or an alternating metal film on a substrate/metal film on a substrate results respectively on surface (metallic nanoparticles on the surface of the substrate) or subsurface (metallic nanoparticles embedded in a dielectric matrix) plasmonic patterns with many applications. In this work we investigate theoretically the photo thermal processes involved in surface and sub surface plasmonic nano structuring and compare to experiments. To this end, we present a design process and develop functionalplasmonic nano structures with pre determined morphology by tuning the annealing parameters like the laser fluence and wavelength and/or the structure parameters like the thickness of the metallic film and the volume ratio of the metal film on a substrate metal composite.

It was March 22. Chris Spiker didn’t have to guess which garage was Michael Zabala’s. On a normal Sunday afternoon, he might have thought he was looking at someone gearing up to mow the lawn. A color illusion that strongly induces color contrast effect has been found by a research team at the Toyohashi University of Technology. The powerful visual illusion clarified a century old contradiction relating to simultaneous color contrast theory. The team demonstrated that the presence or absence of flanking contours formed from extremely thin white lines could be used to switch between contradictory visual phenomena.

What Jack didn know, however, was that these two were actually his grandparents, and that his eldest sister June was his mother. Jack would not find this out until the mid 1970s, when he was famous and both women were dead. His father identity has remained a mystery and Nicholson has repeatedly refused to take a determining blood test..

The set up allows the shooter to adjust scope height, rotation (around the stand shaft), scope angular elevation, and eyepiece orientation, all with one control. Other brands of scope heads require you to use multiple knobs or friction adjusters. With the Ray Vin most adjustments can be done easily with one hand, using the black adjusting handle..

Soon after the pricing change was made, Greenwood said, “it was brought to our attention that pharmacists were getting reimbursed on a lot of their prescriptions below their cost. Way below their cost. And they were appealing those [to CVS Caremark], and those appeals were not being resolved in their favor.”.

Pre exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a novel bio medical HIV prevention option for individuals at high risk of HIV exposure. This qualitative interview study explores perceptions and understandings of PrEP among a sample of 20 HIV negative and HIV positive men who have sex with men (MSM) in the UK, where there is a debate about the feasibility of offering PrEP on the NHS. Data were analysed using qualitative thematic analysis and social representations theory from social psychology.
