TAILORING POLARIZATION CONVERSION IN ACHIRAL ALL-DIELECTRIC METASURFACES BY USING QUASI-BOUND STATES IN THE CONTINUUM

Tailoring Polarization Conversion in Achiral All-Dielectric Metasurfaces by Using Quasi-Bound States in the Continuum

Quasi-bound states in the continuum (quasi-BICs) supported in all-dielectric metasurfaces (MTS) are known for their confinement in real space and the notably high values of the quality factor Q.Recently, the properties of quasi-BICs have been employed to achieve polarization conversion with all-dielectric MTS.However, one of the main disadvantages

Characterization of nodal/TGF-lefty signaling pathway gene variants for possible roles in congenital heart diseases.

BACKGROUND: Nodal/TGF-Lefty signaling pathway has important effects at early stages of differentiation of human embryonic stem cells in directing them to differentiate into different embryonic lineages.LEFTY, one of transforming growth factors in the Nodal/TGF-Lefty signaling pathway, plays an important role in the development of heart.The aim of t
