MODELING OF SLOT WAVEGUIDE SENSORS BASED ON POLYMERIC MATERIALS

Modeling of Slot Waveguide Sensors Based on Polymeric Materials

Slot waveguides are very promising for optical sensing applications because of their peculiar spatial mode profile.In this paper we have carried out a detailed analysis of mode confinement properties in slot waveguides realized candy button strips in very low refractive index materials.We show that the sensitivity of a slot waveguide is not directl

Progestins Upregulate FKBP51 Expression in Human Endometrial Stromal Cells to Induce Functional Progesterone and Glucocorticoid Withdrawal: Implications for Contraceptive- Associated Abnormal Uterine Bleeding.

Use of long-acting progestin only contraceptives (LAPCs) offers a discrete and highly effective family planning method.Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is the major side effect of, and cause for, discontinuation of LAPCs.The endometria of LAPC-treated women display abnormally enlarged, fragile blood vessels, majicontrast red decreased endometrial bl
