Pulmonary hypertension is characterised by the chronic elevation of pulmonary artery pressure
(PAP) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) leading to right ventricular enlargement …

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is a new form of cardiomyopathy
probably more frequent than commonly reported. It is a rare but important cause of sudden …

▪ Abstract We outline recent developments in biological single-molecule fluorescence detection
with particular emphasis on observations by ratiometric fluorescence resonance energy …

We report experiments and theory on the effects of electric fields on the optical absorption
near the band edge in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum-well structures. We find distinct physical effects …

We present theory and extended experimental results for the large shift in optical absorption
in GaAs-AlGaAs quantum well structures with electric field perpendicular to the layers. In …

… d k and d~ are calculated from the experimental d mac and … the ellipsoidal cavity corrections;
d~ and d~o are calculated … found that d~ and d ~D agree within 15% and that d k and d~o …

… Perigaud, and D. Vidakovic deals with the technologically crucial bottleneck of growth and
characterization Of high quality, bulk organic crystals and waveguided structures. By contrast, …

We analyze theoretically the optical properties of ideal semiconductor crystallites so small that
they show quantum confinement in all three dimensions [quantum dots (QD’s)]. In the limit …

… Q~D(og) exhibits van Hove singularities at the onset of each transition. For a 'quantum
well' sample, one has to let in addition the width of the sample, say Lx, go to infinity. Now kx …

We extend the sensitivity of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to the single
molecule level by measuring energy transfer between a single donor fluorophore and a single …
