Generation of Light Scattering States in Cholesteric Liquid Crystals by Optically Controlled Boundary Conditions

Circularly polarized light was previously employed to stimulate the reversible and reconfigurable writing of scattering states in cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) cells constructed with a photosensitive layer.Such dynamic photodriven responses have utility in remotely triggering changes in optical constructs responsive to optical stimulus and appli

Historic Influenza Perspectives on an Influenza Pandemic

Before discussing the issues related to influenza pandemics, it is necessity to understand the mechanisms that underlie the variability, of the virus.The influenza virus, like most RNA viruses, is genetically highly variable and this variability gives rise to a constant changing of the antigenicity of the virus.This, in itself, is not peculiar to 1
