We report an abnormal waveguiding phenomenon that the fundamental mode guided in strip waveguides of a special Ti-diffused LiNbO3 waveguide structure, in which an array of 4and 6-μm-wide strip waveguides is embedded in a planar waveguide, nonperiodically oscillates with the wavelength along the waveguide width direction.The oscillation ampli

Background: Phototherapy may alter the morphologic features of melanocytic nevi.Dermoscopy is a non-invasive method for evaluation of skin lesions, specifically melanocytic nevi.Aims and Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the effects of narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) and psoralen-ultraviolet A (PUVA) therapy on the dermoscopic featu
The survey was conducted to prepare IFT Drive a preliminary checklist of butterflies of Mendrelgang, Bhutan.Butterflies were sampled from February 2012 to February 2013 to assess the species richness in a degraded forest patch of a sub-tropical broadleaf forest.This short-term study recorded 125 species of butterflies in 78 genera from five familie
