We demonstrate successful operation of a Superconducting Single Photon Detector (SSPD) as the core element in a heterodyne receiver.Irradiating the SSPD by both a local oscillator power and signal Logic ICs power simultaneously, we observed beat signal at the intermediate frequency of a few MHz.Gain bandwidth was found to coincide with the detector
A single session of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been shown to increase arousal in healthy participants for up to 24 h post-stimulation.However, little is known about the effects of tDCS on subsequent sleep in this population.Based on previous clinical studies, we hypothesized that anodal stimulation to the left dorsola
It is acknowledged by academics and development practitioners alike that many common strategies addressing community based disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation duplicate each other.Thus, there is a strong push to integrate the two fields to enhance aid effectiveness and reduce confusion for communities.Examples of community based d
Numerous studies of human populations in Europe and Asia have revealed a concordance between their extant genetic structure and the prevailing regional pattern of geography and language.For native South Americans, however, such evidence has been lacking so far.Therefore, we examined the relationship between Y-chromosomal genotype on the one hand, a
Abstract As signalling organelles, cilia regulate their G protein-coupled receptor content by ectocytosis, a process requiring localised actin dynamics to alter membrane Parsley Leaf shape.Photoreceptor outer segments comprise an expanse of folded membranes (discs) at the tip of highly-specialised connecting cilia, into which photosensitive GPCRs a
