The interaction of pulsed lasers with matter involving nanomaterials as a pure target or thin layer deposited on a target initiates transient plasma, which shows strong enhancement in a spectral line emission.This domain of research has been explored via two well-established techniques dubbed NELIBS and NELIPS.These Nano-Enhanced Laser-Induced Brea
The hidden duplication past of the plant pathogen Phytophthora and its consequences for infection
Abstract Background Oomycetes of the genus Phytophthora are pathogens that infect a wide range of plant species.For dicot hosts such as tomato, potato and soybean, Phytophthora is even the most important pathogen.Previous analyses of Phytophthora genomes uncovered many genes, large gene families and large genome sizes that can partially be explaine
The short-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the management of private universities in Poland
Abstract In early March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic changed the situation of thousands of higher education institutions around the cheese slicer world.The spreading virus not only imposed remote education, but it also brought tremendous changes in university management.The introduction of new educational and administrative solutions was a huge logi
A psychological law of inertia and the illusion of loss aversion
The principle of loss aversion is thought to explain a wide range of anomalous phenomena involving tradeoffs between losses and gains.In this article, I show that the anomalies loss aversion was introduced to explain - the risky bet premium, the endowment effect, and the status-quo bias - are Peels characterized not only by a loss/gain tradeoff, bu
Case Studies on MHD Wave Propagation by the Exos-D Electric Field Measurements
Magnetohydrodynamic wave phenomena have been investigated in the deep plasmasphere by the electric field measurements in the EXOS-D(Akebono) satellite.EXOS-D has highly eccentric orbits(the perigee: Food Service:Commercial Kitchen Equipment:Food Preparation Equipment:Commercial Bread 274km, the apogee: 10,500km), which allows relatively long observ
