Programmability in femtosecond-laser-written integrated circuits is commonly achieved with the implementation of thermal phase shifters. Recent work has shown how such phase shifters display significantly reduced power dissipation and thermal crosstalk with the implementation of thermal isolation structures. However, the aforementioned phase shifter technology is based on a single gold film, which poses severe limitations on integration density and circuit complexity due to intrinsic geometrical constraints.

Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) of biomacromolecules using large pore size media and long column are usually necessary to obtain a satisfactory separation. However, the SEC separation of inactivated foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) was found to induce some subtle but important conformational changes of FMDV in a pore-size and column length dependent manner. Here three Sephacryl media including S-300 HR, S-400 HR, and S-500 HR were tested, whose pore sizes were smaller than, similar to, and larger than the FMDV particles, respectively. Read More

Phenotypic analysis of cassava root crowns (CRCs) so far has been limited to visual inspection and very few measurements due to its laborious process in the field. Here, we developed a platform for acquiring 3D CRC models using close-range photogrammetry for phenotypic analysis. The state of the art is a low cost and easy to set up 3D acquisition requiring only a background sheet, a reference object and a camera, compatible with field experiments in remote areas. Read More

Understanding the effect of starch properties on the gluten network during noodle-making will allow rational selection of ingredients. The microstructure and texture of dough sheets, dried noodles, and cooked noodles prepared by adding different wheat starches were compared. Increasing starch solubility and swelling power could reduce the compactness and homogeneity of the network in dough sheet. Read More

Spike compactness (SC) and length (SL) are the components of spike morphology and are strongly related to grain yield in wheat ( L.). To investigate quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with SC and SL, a recombinant inbred lines (RIL) population derived from the cross of Bailangmai (BLM, a Tibet landrace) and Chuanyu 20 (CY20, an improved variety) was employed in six environments.
