Nichia warms the pace for CW blue laser

Aquest número d'Artnodes està dedicat a les relacions entre art i educació, deixant deliberadament oberta la definició de l'espai que connecta ambdós termes, atès que en el moment actual aquest es configura de maneres molt diferents. Qüestionant definitivament la idea que l'educació és un vehicle per transmetre continguts culturals o, dit d'una altra manera, un àmbit reproductiu d'una altra esfera que si fos productiva, art i educació s'hibridarien propiciant tot tipus de trobades en què cap és instrumental per a l'altre, sinó que generen formes imprevisibles i inseparables de creació i d'aprenentatge

Successors to sapphire in the GaN market

Abstract2002 has seen a resurgence of interest in the development of GaN single crystal substrates. The number of companies in the field has grown and they are at last receiving major funding to help them overcome the next hurdles. The impetus behind this lies in the shortcomings of the sapphire-based technologies currently in use. There is still a question mark against the commercial viability of pure GaN wafers when and if they will ever match the market need for low-price materials

Lasers at the cutting edge

AbstractDiode lasers are undoubtedly the strongest market segment in optoelectronics. Expansion is occuring not only via new applications such as DVD but also by capturing market share from non-diode lasers and even LEDs. The field is diverse and growing all the time so this article has to pick from the spectrum highlighting the commercial prospects in such areas as high power lasers, VCSELs and blue lasers

PUBLIC RELATIONS STRATEGIES TO MANAGE COLLEGIATE CO-CURRICULAR PROGRAMS

The purpose of this project was to illustrate how principles of communications management, specifically the concepts of branding, audience analysis, relationship building and strategic communication plans, should be utilized in institutions of higher learning to manage and promote involvement in collegiate co-curricular events. This study combines research from student engagement with communication concepts and serves to bridge the gap that exists between literature on student engagement and practical public relations strategies. A case study that analyzes one collegiate cocurricular in terms of those four core concepts of communications management, providing practical findings and suggestions for implementing those strategies at other colleges is provided

Antimicrobial Activity of Honey

Honey has had a valued place in traditional medicine for centuries. It was used to overcome liver, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal problems and for treatment of some types of infectious disease. Particularly, good results were achieved in the case of application of this product for therapy of infected, difficult to heal wounds. The high health-promoting properties of honey have been recently confirmed in many research investigations. The antimicrobial activity of this product is highly complex. Generation of hydrogen peroxide, bee defensin-1, high osmolarity and low value of pH seems to be crucial for its antimicrobial potential. Considering honey as a therapeutic, antimicrobial agent special attention deserves Manuka honey. Its high antimicrobial activity is caused by high concentration of 1,2-dicarbonyl compound methylglyoxal. Some authors also suggest that other phytochemicals, especially phenolic compounds, are important antibacterial ingredients of honey. The results of many in vitro but also in vivo studies confirm high antimicrobial potential of honey against some important human and veterinary pathogens: Staphylococcus aureus, Helicobacter pylori, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. We do not have doubts that honey, but also other bee products, especially propolis, is promising antimicrobial agents and possibilities of their application in clinical medicine deserve consideration
