Article Abstract
We simulate the optical properties of polymer optical waveguides with different refractive index profiles in their cores as coupling components (edge couplers) between single-mode fiber and SiOx waveguides. In this paper, we focus on the single-mode operation of graded-index (GI) core polymer waveguides, for which we previously demonstrated low propagation loss under multimode operation. We design the optimum core structure (size and index contrast) for different refractive index profiles, and then demonstrate the unique optical properties of GI waveguides contributing to the low optical loss compared to the step-index counterparts, in particular, mode field diameter variation and taper angle tolerance.

Mangrove plants, originating from inland ancestors, have independently adapted to extreme intertidal zones characterized by salt and hypoxia stress. While typical mangroves exhibit specialized phenotypes, like viviparous seeds and salt secretion, atypical clades that have thrived without such traits are particularly suitable for exploring the molecular and physiological basis underlying plant adaptation to intertidal zones. We assembled a chromosome-level genome of an atypical mangrove, Scyphiphora hydrophylacea, the only mangrove species in Gentianales.

Method: This cross-sectional study investigated the Core Symptoms Burden Set (CSBS) significantly affecting the HRQoL in patient with aggressive NHL and identify a single cutoff point to separate clinical difference. The MDASI-TCM and EQ-5D-5 L were used to assess the symptom (severity and interference) and HRQoL.

FeNiMn invar alloy was produced via the polyol process, employing a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution in varying weight ratios (50% and 66% PVA), and carbonized at different temperatures in argon (Ar) atmosphere to create a magnetic core-shell structure of FeNiMn@C. The structural, morphological, and magnetic characteristics of the prepared material were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The carbonization process applied to these samples enhances their suitability for the adsorption of weakly polar or nonpolar organic molecules.

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the woody hard shell in the aqueous extraction of wild almond oil considering two unattended parameters (presence of shell and container volume) along with the amount of water, temperature, agitation rate, and time. Shell content did not negatively impact the extraction yield. But water content, container volume and temperature contributed to 34.
