Ultrafast optical switching using parity-time symmetric Bragg gratings (2013)
Journal Article

This paper reports on time-domain modeling of an optical switch based on the parity–time (PT) symmetric Bragg grating. The switching response is triggered by suddenly switching on the gain in the Bragg grating to create a PT-symmetric Bragg grating....

Increased function of pronociceptive TRPV1 at the level of the joint in a rat model of osteoarthritis pain (2013)
Journal Article

Objectives Blockade of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) with systemic antagonists attenuates osteoarthritis (OA) pain behaviour in rat models, but on-target-mediated hyperthermia has halted clinical trials. The present study investiga... Read More about Increased function of pronociceptive TRPV1 at the level of the joint in a rat model of osteoarthritis pain.

High-speed electrical machines: technologies, trends and developments (2013)
Journal Article

This paper reviews the current technologies used in high speed electrical machines, through an extensive survey of different topologies developed and built in industry as well as in academia for several applications. Developments in materials and com... Read More about High-speed electrical machines: technologies, trends and developments.

Sequential induction of auxin efflux and influx carriers regulates lateral root emergence (2013)
Journal Article

In Arabidopsis, lateral roots originate from pericycle cells deep within the primary root. New lateral root primordia (LRP) have to emerge through several overlaying tissues. Here, we report that auxin produced in new LRP is transported towards the o... Read More about Sequential induction of auxin efflux and influx carriers regulates lateral root emergence.

Insights of biosurfactant producing Serratia marcescens strain W2.3 isolated from diseased tilapia fish: a draft genome analysis (2013)
Journal Article

Background Serratia marcescens is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen with broad range of host ranging from vertebrates, invertebrates and plants. S. marcescens strain W2.3 was isolated from a diseased tilapia fish and it was suspected to be the cau...
