Femtosecond System with Pulse Pumping of Seed Laser and Amplifier by Using a Single Power Unit by S. A. Tikhomirov

“…In the developed laser system a compact scheme of a stretcher-compressor with a single common diffraction grating is used.Laser systems of this type characterized by a relatively low cost due to the use of a single power supply unit for simultaneous pumping  of  the  amplifier  and  oscillator,  as  well  as  lower  requirements for the quality of optical elements and usage conditions due to the pulse mode of operation, are quite practical and  can  be  used  both  in  scientific research  in  the  field  of  ultra-high-speed kinetic spectroscopy and nonlinear optics, as well as in numerous technical applications, particular in the precision processing of materials, as optical  simulators  of  the  action  of  heavy  charged  particles  in  testing the radiation resistance of integrated circuits and electronic modules.…”

Perspectives of Midwives and Nurse Practitioners in Kentucky on Exercise Counseling During Pregnancy: A Qualitative Study by Madhawa Perera, Taniya S. Nagpal, Maire M. Blankenship, Danilo V. Tolusso, Jordyn M. Cox, Dilini Prashadika, Mark Schafer, Rachel A. Tinius

“…Findings revealed that midwives and nurse practitioners recommend moderate exercise, aiming for 150 min weekly, monitoring heart rate for intensity, continuing prepregnancy exercise routines, starting low-intensity exercise during pregnancy such as walking, slowing down as pregnancy advances, and avoiding heavy lifting and vigorous activities. Many midwives and nurse practitioners in our sample took a reactive approach to exercise counseling, providing exercise advice if pregnant women asked questions or if they were at high risk for hypokinetic diseases. …”
