Under a degenerate two-photon resonant excitation, the Rabi oscillation of the four-level biexciton system in a semiconductor quantum dot is theoretically investigated.The influence of the laser Soup Bowls phases on the state manipulation is modeled and numerically calculated.Due to the interference between different excitation paths, the laser pha

Abstract Background RNA interference (RNAi) is a tool for studying gene function and has emerged as a promising eco-friendly alternative to chemical pesticides.RNAi relies on delivering double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), which is processed into small interfering RNA (siRNA) to silence genes.However, so far, knowledge and tools for optimizing the dsRNA se

For centuries, the Catholic Church has been a major social actor in the provision of health services, particularly health care delivered in hospitals.Through a confluence of powerful environmental forces at the beginning of the twenty-first century, the future of Catholic health care is threatened.Although United States Catholic hospitals are a sep

Abstract More than one billion people rely on livestock for income, nutrition, and social cohesion, however livestock keeping can facilitate disease transmission and contribute to climate change.While data on the distribution of livestock have broad utility across a range of applications, efforts to map the distribution of livestock on a large scal

Drawing from the extensive resources available in press and historical archives, this work focuses on the role exerted by the Italian Catholic University Federation (FUCI) after World War II, with special reference to the decisions regarding University policy and reform of higher education issues made by the Catholic student body.FUCI arose as a co
