Fluorescent robust photoactuator via photo-crosslinking induced single-layered janus polyimide by Shuyu Xue, Zhipanxin Shi, Zaiyu Wang, Haozhe Tan, Feng Gao, Zicong Zhang, Ziyue Ye, Shifeng Nian, Ting Han, Jianbo Zhang, Zheng Zhao, Ben Zhong Tang, Qiuyu Zhang

“…Then the fluorescent robust photoactuators with single-layered janus structure were directly obtained via UV assisted photo-crosslinking of the films, exhibiting reversible response driven by a pronounced mismatch in expansion between the front and back sides of the films. Achieving selective, non-uniform spatial distribution within the PI films, rapid and reversible complex morphing of the actuators, along with the capabilities for encrypting, reading, and erasing fluorescent information—all through the use of a single UV light source—becomes straightforward. …”

Molecular organization of the nanoscale surface structures of the dragonfly Hemianax papuensis wing epicuticle. by Elena P Ivanova, Song Ha Nguyen, Hayden K Webb, Jafar Hasan, Vi Khanh Truong, Robert N Lamb, Xiaofei Duan, Mark J Tobin, Peter J Mahon, Russell J Crawford

“…The molecular organization of the epicuticle (the outermost layer) of insect wings is vital in the formation of the nanoscale surface patterns that are responsible for bestowing remarkable functional properties. Using a combination of spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques, including Synchrotron-sourced Fourier-transform infrared microspectroscopy (FTIR), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) depth profiling and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS), we have identified the chemical components that constitute the nanoscale structures on the surface of the wings of the dragonfly, Hemianax papuensis. …”

German Colonists of Northwest Russia in Conditions of Post-Revolutionary Reality (1918-1922) by V. N. Shaidurov, V. A. Lomanov

“…The condition and functioning of German farms largely depended on the extraordinary revolutionary economic measures carried out by the Bolsheviks within the framework of equalizing land use and “war communism”, where the German village was considered as an easily accessible and high-performance source of agricultural resources for the Red Army and the urban population, which resulted in an excessively high economic burden on the colonies and a selective approach to accounting for national the specifics of the economic life of the Germans and their current economic opportunities. …”

Iterative approach for photonic crystal devices design by Pavel V. Mokshin, Dimitriy L. Golovashkin, Vladimir S. Pavelyev

“…The proposed approach differs from known general-purpose optimization methods (e.g., genetic algorithm or gradient procedures) by using diffraction pattern information at different frequencies while optimizing an element designed to operate at the selected wavelength. The design of functional PhC structures with expected characteristics (for example, waveguides) for a certain wavelength (albeit given by a monochromatic radiation source) is described. …”
