We propose a three-dimensional waveguide structure for the realization of mode-selective switches, where the high-order spatial modes of a few-mode waveguide can be switched to various single-mode Accessories waveguides with thermo-optically controlled vertical asymmetrical directional couplers.To demonstrate the idea, we design and fabricate two s

Three new species and two new genera are described within the wasp family Ichneumonidae from Late Cretaceous (Campanian) amber collected at the Grassy Lake locality in Alberta, Canada.New taxa include Pareubaeus Statues rasnitsyni n.gen.et sp.and P.incertus n.sp.within the subfamily Labenopimplinae, and Albertocryptus dossenus n.gen.et sp.within th
Systemic anticancer immunity can be reinstated via the induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD) in malignant cells.Thus, certain classes of cytotoxic compounds, for example, anthracyclines, oxaliplatin and taxanes are endowed with the capacity to act on cancer cells to ignite premortem stress pathways that lead to the surface exposure of calreticu
