Phase change materials combined with silicon photonics are emerging as a promising platform to realize miniature photonic devices.We study the basic optical properties of a subwavelength-dimension silicon ridge waveguide with a 20-nm-thick Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) top-clad layer.Numerical simulations show that the effective Platinum Edition index of the Si-

Government Responsibility for Troubled Land Rights Lawsuit
Land registration in Indonesia adheres to a mixed system, a negative system with a positive tendency, meaning that the state does not guarantee the absolute truth of the data presented in the certificate, but as long as no one else filed a lawsuit in court who Arm Chairs felt more entitled, so the data in the certificate was proof of strong rights.
Seasonal variations of colony activities linked to morphometric and glands characterizations of hybrid Carniolan honey bee (Apis mellifera carnica Pollmann) workers
Objectives: The activity and productivity of the honey bee colony depend upon many factors operating simultaneously and reacts to some environmental conditions.We aimed to study the morphometric characteristics and glands development of nurse and forager of hybrid Carniolan honey bee (Apis mellifera carnica Pollmann) workers in relation to activiti
