The author proposes a scenario for a possible lesson in the second grade on the subject "World-Around-Us", dedicated to the study of the rules of behavior at the table, during which various creative exercises and didactic games are used on the content of the text of a fairy tale. This stimulates the interest of children in the topic being studied, allows them to successfully master the proposed material, as well as develop the abilities of younger schoolchildren in various types of creative activity and the ability to cooperate in the course of it.
'You shall see me do the Moor': The Blackfriars Children and the Performance of Race in Poetaster
Authors: MacLeod Emily
Published: December 2022

The repertory of the Blackfriars children frequently alluded to plays performed by adult companies across the Thames. In Jonson’s Poetaster, a boy player performs a scene as ‘the Moor’ from Peele’s The Battle of Alcazar. These parodies of adult performances in the children’s repertory not only evidence early modern acting style but also specifically reference styles of performing racial difference on the early modern stage. I argue that this parody showcased playing skill associated up to this point with adult actors, and that the Blackfriars children used these references to racialized characters to highlight skill and appeal to audience taste.
The Inconvenience of Stage Posts: Green World Locales at the Rose Theatre
Authors: Blamires Adrian
Published: December 2022

A long-running debate surrounds the staging of ‘green worlds’ in early modern drama, with some commentators envisioning a bare stage while others believe that performances utilized multiple properties. One area of contention concerns the extent to which theatres used stage posts to represent trees. This article considers four plays (by Shakespeare, Munday, and Porter) performed at the Rose Theatre in the period 1594-8 and makes a case for the employment of various properties in forest scenes. Reference to the playhouse’s architecture after it was renovated in 1592, in particular the location of its stage posts, underpins the argument.

Published: December 2022

Background. Earlier we found that plasma uric acid and urea causes modulating effects on neuro-endocrine parameters, as well as reactive anxiety, but these effects are significantly different in men and women of different ages. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationships between the plasma creatinine level and some psycho-neuro-endocrine parameters in the same cohort. Materials and Methods. The object of observation were almost healthy volunteers: 31 males (24÷69 y) and 30 females, from among them 18 postmenopausal (48÷76 y) and 12 of reproductive age (30÷45 y). In basal conditions we determined plasma levels of creatinine and adaptation hormones, estimated the severity of the trait and reactive anxiety, recorded the ongoing HRV and EEG. After 4 or 7 days, repeated testing was performed. Results. By building regression models with stepwise exclusion, it was found that in men plasma creatinine downregulates the level of Cortisol (r=-0,41) while upregulates the levels of Testosterone (r=0,36) and Calcitonin (r=0,30). The degree of determination of endocrine parameters is 31,9%. In postmenopausal women, creatinine also upregulates Testosterone (r=0,43) while downregulates the amplitude and PSD of β-rhythm in different loci as well as causes right lateralization of β-rhythm. The degree of determination of neuro-endocrine parameters is 61,2%. In women of reproductive age creatinine upregulates the PSD of ULF band HRV and α-rhythm in 5 loci as well as the Entropy of EEG in F3 locus while downregulates the Entropy in T6 locus, F3-δ and T6-θ PSD as well as Cortisol level. The degree of determination of neuro-endocrine parameters is 94,0%. Conclusion. Plasma creatinine has a modulating effect on neuro-endocrine parameters, but this effect is significantly different in men and women of different ages.

Published: December 2022

In Saudi Arabia, family members, general practitioners, morticians, or police officer, who are eligible to request autopsies, refrain from doing so to expedite the burial of the deceased. Inaccurate entries into the medical death certificate facilitate so. The reason for ignoring the completion of death certificates is not fully explored. Yet, incompetence or avoiding medicolegal allegations seem to be causative factors.  In this study, we conducted a cross-sectional study on 335 medical students from all years of medical school to determine the association between taking the death certificate course and the level of knowledge about death certificates among medical students. The results showed an increase in the level of knowledge of students who took the course compared to the students who did not. Among the students who have seen death certificates, the majority have not seen enough number of death certificates. Cultural mores of the medical students are expected to govern their carefulness in filling out the death certificates.
The Big Five personality traits and theory of planned behavior in physical education students
Authors: Li Yun , Ruzicka Michal
Published: December 2022

Purpose: This study aimed to test the correlation between the Big Five personality traits and the theory of planned behavior in Chinese physical education students.

Design/methodology/approach: This is a cross sectional study which used the Big Five Inventory-44 and the Physical Educator’s Intention Toward Teaching Individuals with Disabilities III. Using a large number of randomly selected samples, a total of N =2305 physical education students (782 females and 1523 males, M age = 20.12, SD = 1.47) were purposely selected from 10 normal or comprehensive universities located in Eastern, Central and Western China.

Findings: Our findings showed that the big five personality traits and theory of planned behavior are closely linked in physical education students. Future intervention experiments can focus on the impact of the big five personality traits on the TPB, to improve the mental health and academic performance of physical education students.

Research and practical limitations/implications: First, the research method of this study is single, and subsequent studies can add mediator or moderator variables. Second, because this study is a cross-sectional study, it fails to explore the causal relationship between the Big Five personality traits and the various dimensions of the planned behavior theory of physical education for normal students.

Originality/value: This study explored the relationship of the Big Five personality traits with intention, attitude toward the behavior, and subjective norms of physical education students, within the theory of planned behavior. It suggests ways for educators, counselors, and coaches to promote the physical and mental development of physical education students.

Electric scooters have recently become the most popular means of transport chosen to move around urban agglomerations. It is estimated that by the end of 2024, the number of scooters on the roads around the world will increase by about 600% compared to 2019. Easy access to rental and low purchase price significantly convince many people around the world to use this form of transport. This review article aims to show what a serious health risk a scooter can be. The issue of the most common injuries related to the use of this type of vehicle was also discussed. The growing popularity of electric vehicles brings with it the possibility of recording more and more cases of injuries related to electric scooters. Numerous violations of road rules and riding a scooter under the influence of alcohol, in most cases without protective clothing, significantly contribute to the formation of high-energy injuries in victims.
Managing the attitudes of breast cancer patients towards physical activity in a multicultural environment
Authors: Malchrowicz-Mośko Ewa
Published: December 2022

Based on a review of literature, the article presents the main problems and barriers in the diagnostics, treatment and prevention of breast cancer among women representing various cultures, mainly those following Islam and Hinduism. Hospitals and oncology centers that serve diverse populations should consider the religious needs of female breast cancer patients which have been described in this paper. The burden of breast cancer continues to increase in low- and middle-income countries, where women present with more advanced disease and have worse outcomes compared with women from high-income countries. Moreover, lifestyle-associated factors play an important role in prevention of such malignancies as breast cancer. Physical activity before, during and after diagnosis improves outcomes for breast cancer. Unfortunately, few Muslim women have opportunities to participate in regular exercises which are recommended by World Health Organization for breast cancer survivors.

Order Fulfillment Under Pick Failure in Omnichannel Ship-From-Store Programs
Authors: Das Sagnik , Ravi R. , Sridhar Srinath
Published: December 2022

Problem definition: We consider the setting where a retailer with many physical stores and an online presence seeks to fulfill online orders using an omnichannel fulfillment program, such as buy-online ship-from-store. These fulfillment strategies try to minimize cost while fulfilling orders within acceptable service times. We focus on single-item orders. Typically, all online orders for the item are sent to a favorable set of locations to be filled. Failed trials are sent back for further stages of trial fulfillment until the process times out. The multistage order fulfillment problem is thus an interplay of the pick-failure probabilities at the stores where they may be shipped from and the picking, shipping, and cancellation costs from these locations. Methodology: We model the problem as one of sequencing the stores from which an order is attempted to be picked and shipped in the most cost-effective way over multiple stages. We solve the fulfillment problem optimally by taking into account the changing pick-failure probabilities as a result of other online order fulfillment trials by casting it as a network flow problem with convex costs. We incorporate this as the second stage of a two-stage online order acceptance problem and generalize earlier results to the case with pick failures at stores. Results: We investigate the real-world performance of our methods and models on real order data of several of the top U.S. retailers that use our collaborating e-commerce solutions provider to optimize their fulfillment strategies. Academic/Practical Relevance: Our work enables retailers to incorporate pick failure in their order management systems for ship-from-store programs. Our new online order-acceptance policies that take into account pick failures can thus create significant savings for omnichannel retailers.

Maternal collapse in pregnancy
Authors: Knapp C , Bhatia K
Published: December 2022

Maternal collapse is a rare life-threatening event that can occur at any stage of pregnancy or up to 6 weeks postpartum. Prompt identification and timely intervention by a multidisciplinary team that includes an obstetrician, midwifery staff and an obstetric anaesthetist are essential to improve maternal and fetal outcomes. Standard adult resuscitation guidelines need to be followed with some modifications, taking into account the maternal–fetal physiology, which clinicians should be familiar with. During cardiac arrest, the emphasis is on advanced airway management, manual uterine displacement to relieve aortocaval compression and performing a resuscitative hysterotomy (peri-mortem caesarean delivery) swiftly in patients who are more than 20 weeks gestation to improve maternal survival. Annual multidisciplinary simulation training is recommended for all professionals involved in maternity care; this can improve teamwork, communication and emergency preparedness during maternal collapse.

Soluciones o procesos composicionales y salidas alternativas como respuesta al creciente punitivismo
Authors: Caramuti Carlos
Published: December 2022

Ingresaré al desarrollo de mi exposición en el marco fijado por el Profesor Jesús Silva Sánchez en su conferencia introductoria al 28 Seminario Internacional de IBCCRIM, destacando el lugar de la dogmática penal como una disciplina no solo descriptiva ni meramente funcional, sino valorativa y, además, práctica que intente aportar soluciones o respuestas razonables a las decisiones judiciales de los casos concretos. Sin embargo, lo haré con la aclaración de que entiendo que, en esa tarea, la dogmática penal no debe limitarse al análisis de las normas estrictamente penales -en sentido sustancial-. Por el contrario, debe incorporar no solo las normas procesales y constitucionales nacionales, sino también las convencionales -especialmente de Derechos Humanos- que enmarcan esa aplicación a los casos concretos.

cicle de mortalitat epidèmica i fam de 1093-1095 a Europa: anatomia d’una crisi frontissa
Authors: Benito i Monclús Pere
Published: December 2022

Entre 1093 i 1095 Europa occidental patí una crisi de mortalitat epidèmica devastadora. Entre abril i novembre de 1095 diverses regions de França i dels Països Baixos foren afectades, a més, per una fam severa. La mortaldat i la fam empenyeren molts pagesos i pobres a seguir el predicador Pere l’Ermità i emprendre, a finals de 1095, l’èxode cap a Orient. Els anys 1093-1095 els comtats catalans, immersos en una dinàmica política diferent, patiren els efectes combinats d’una llarga crisi frumentària relacionada amb les expedicions que els comtes de Barcelona i d’Urgell dirigiren contra les taifes frontereres d’al-Andalus i d’una greu crisi de mortalitat causada per la difusió de la pandèmia continental.
Guerra i comunitat pagesa a la vegueria de Girona (1640-1720). Alguns testimonis i casos
Authors: Gifre Ribas Pere
Published: December 2022

A la vegueria de Girona, la guerra esdevé un fet habitual: entre 1640 i 1720, n’hi ha de declarada en quaranta-nou anys. En aquest treball s’analitza la incidència de la guerra sobre les comunitats pageses, que són les que en pateixen directament els efectes, i de manera especial s’estudia la fiscalitat derivada de la guerra de Successió que clou aquest cicle militar. Però, com es veu en les finances de Cassà de la Selva, Puigcerdà i Torroella de Montgrí, les comunitats han acumulat un deute important que no s’eixuga fins entrada la segona meitat del segle xviii. Tres generacions conviuen amb la guerra. A partir de 1720, les comunitats pageses de la vegueria de Girona assumeixen, encara, els costos que van comportar: l’endeutament comunitari i les imposicions que recauen sobre les poblacions per pagar-lo.

Authors: Chen Kai , Dao Thang Duy , Ishii Satoshi , Nagao Tadaaki
Published: December 2022

Surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy employs noble metal nanoparticles or nanostructures to enhance the characteristic absorption spectra of certain molecules. One of the critical steps is to achieve robust surface functionalization of the plasmonic nanostructures facilitating further functionalization or repeatable sensing performance. Here we explore the application of Al and ITO nanostructures in infrared spectroscopy and demonstrate surface functionalization with phosphonic acid that show strong bonding with oxide surface. We fabricated large-area aluminum (Al) metamaterial perfect absorber (MPA) based on nanosphere lithography (NSL)[1-2]. Near perfect absorption ~97% was achieved at resonance wavelength that is tunable by changing Al disk diameters. We took advantage of the presence of the Al2O3 layer and successfully detected presence of the self-assembly monolayer of phosphonic acid on the Al disks[1].

Published: December 2022

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has attracted considerable attention in relation to optical biosensors, solar cells, holography, and other applications, because it can enhance the electric field of incident light by several factors of ten.12 Its application to bioimaging has also been extensively investigated. Fluorescence imaging has been widely used to analyze the dynamic behavior of cellular components. Recently, deep-ultraviolet surface plasmon resonance (DUV-SPR) has also been investigated [1-3]. It can potentially be used in combination with photoelectron emission and Raman scattering measurements because of the high photon energy associated with DUV light. In the present study, DUV-SPR was used for the simultaneous excitation of enhanced multicolor fluorescence from several types of quantum dots. This technique was also applied to high-sensitivity observation of dye-labeled cells.

Near Infrared Active Nanomaterials for the Theragnosis of Tumors In Vivo
Authors: Liu Tzu-Ming
Published: December 2022

With the engineering of nanomaterials, they become dipolar active to near infrared (NIR) light and form valuable contrasts for deep tissue in vivo imaging at a sub-cellular resolution. The involved physical mechanisms include plasmonic resonance, quantum confinement effects, d-band transition, metal-to-semiconductor transition, bandgap alignment, and lifetime quenching. Some materials can even have multiple contrasts for different molecular imaging modalities like positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed X-ray tomography. Not only serving as contrast agents in optical microscopy, these materials can also sense the physiological parameters of tumor microenvironment and treat the cancer cells by the photothermal or photodynamic effects. The critical parameters to be sensed include insulin level, oxygen level, and energy metabolism. These NIR imaging tools and molecular probes together provide a theragnosis platform for the study of tumor biology. Especially for the heterogeneous cancer environments, trancing few but important clones like cancer stem cells will be very important for the understanding of their niche environment and the design of targeting therapy. In this presentation, we will show the up-to-date strategies and material systems designed for the theragnosis of tumor. The integrated collaboration among different expertise is required.

Mercuric ion, inorganic metal ion, found in three oxidation state in nature, including elemental mercury (Hg0), mercurous ion (Hg+), and mercuric ion (Hg2+). These three forms possess hazardous environmental contaminant and are extremely toxic metal materials to damage mammalian organs.[1] This work demonstrates a label-free technique for Hg2+ ions detection using capped gold nanowire arrays based sensors[2] combined with the electrochemical surface plasmon resonance method. The three-electrode electrochemical analysis (Fig. 1) and optical transmission measurement were employed to characterize the potential-current responses and the resonant peak signals were for the investigation of metal ion electrodeposition (Fig. 2). The nanostructured EC-SPR sensors were used to characterize the eletrochemical behaviors of K3Fe(CN)6/K2Fe(CN)6 redox couple and evaluate the wavelength sensitivity (480.3 nm RIU-1) with a FOM of 40.0 RIU-1 and the intensity sensitivity (1819.9 %) in the glycerol-water solutions. Fig. shows the detection limit of 1 pM Hg2+ can be obtained by the chronoamperomet- ric-spectrum analysis.

Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopic Studies using Galvanic Nano-buds
Authors: Nayak (D) Deepak Ranjan , Umapathy Siva
Published: December 2022

Raman spectroscopy has attracted considerable attention in analytical measurements but lacks the sensitivity due to low scattering cross section. However, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has brought both specificity and sensitivity on the same platform. The specificity in SERS technique is largely owing to the unique vibrational frequency of the molecules giving rise to finger print like spectra. Sensitivity, however, is tailored from electric field enhancement in plasmonic nanostructure and fabrication of nanostructure for a specific wavelength. Control of size, shape of suitable plasmonic material and there by excitation of localized surface plasmon resonance of a metal nanoparticle or nanostructured surface is essential in understanding the fundamental process of SERS. Optical property of the surrounding medium has profound effect on the plasmonic response of the metal nanoparticles. Such type of interaction in SERS substrates, associated to plasmon-substrate interaction, brings out simple yet effective method to fabricate SERS substrate.
Interference-Based Techniques in Superresolution Microscopy
Authors: Kanchanawong Pakorn (Tony)
Published: December 2022

Many complex biological functions are performed by supramolecular assemblies selforganized from a diverse ensemble of proteins. The spatial organizations of protein building blocks within these structures are key to their functions, but have been challenging to determine experimentally. Due to the nanometer size scale of proteins, the nanoscale is the salient length scale for structural organization in cells. Thanks to the recent development of superresolution microscopy, it has become possible to decipher the intricate nanoscale architecture of several cellular structures. For these structural cell biology applications, high spatial resolution, ideally approaching the sub-10 nm scale of protein-size is desirable. Interference-based strategies have been particularly useful for achieving such molecular-scale resolution[1-4]. I will discuss examples of interference-based techniques in superresolution microscopy and their applications to decipher nanoscale organization of cell adhesions machinery. Of particular biological relevance, cell adhesions such as the cadherin-mediated cell-cell junctions are multi-protein assemblies known to transmit, sustain, sense, and respond to mechanical force. The knowledge of their physical organization is therefore essential for molecular mechanistic insights into their mechanobiological functions. I will discuss our recent study whereby interference-based superresolution strategy was employed to elucidate the nanoscale architecture of the cadherin-based cell adhesions and to probe conformational transitions of the mechanotransducer protein vinculin, revealing how they are regulated by mechanical tension together with specific tyrosine kinase and phosphatase [4].

Heat generation in metallic nanostructure under plasmon is known as plasmonic local heat, and it has been utilized in various applications, for example, cancer therapy, photohermal chemistry, nanowire growth, and so on [1]. G. Baffou et al. reported that Au single nanoparticle generates local heat about 90 K under the light irradiation of 100 mW/cm2 [2]. These facts indicate plasmonic nanostructures will be effective nano-heaters.

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is widely used in applications such as the detection of infinitesimal materials and high-efficiency photoelectric conversion. For a target medium with a high refractive index (n > 1.5), total reflection generally becomes impossible owing to a limitation in the incidence angle of light; therefore, such a medium cannot be detected. For this problem, we focused on a method that uses a diffraction grating as the structure of the sensor.
Effects of band shifting on permittivity of plasmonic material
Authors: Chiu Min–Hsueh , Li Jia-Han
Published: December 2022

In recent decades, plasmonic devices are widely interested because of the capability of subwavelength confinement. The plasmon phenomena is generated by oscillation of free charges in optical frequency. Hence, the metallic component is general used in plasmonic device. Metal provides large amount of free charges and the negative real part of permittivity, which is the essential property of plasmonic material. However, the loss of metal is critical issue of the devices, which occur from the interband transition in visible and ultra-violet range. Thence, the engineering of permittivity is the important topic for plasmonic devices.
Investigation of Multiscale Biomolecular Dynamics with Plasmonic Nanoapertures
Authors: Kim Donghyun
Published: December 2022

Optical molecular imaging and sensing techniques based on light localization are explored. The creation of locally amplified electromagnetic near-fields on surface plasmon-enhanced metallic nanoarray structures has been investigated in many studies because of the potential for extreme light confinement to improve molecular detection sensitivity and resolving power for imaging processes that would be typically impossible to observe under the diffraction limit. By colocalization of light-matter distribution using plasmonic nanoaperture arrays, it was shown that improvement of detection sensitivity by several orders of magnitude would be plausible. For imaging, although many emerging microscopy approaches have been highly successful to produce super-resolved images beyond imagination, we explore alternative techniques based on plasmonic nanoarrays by which achievable resolution may be customized to fit specific imaging needs.

Authors: Jian Jia-Hong , Li Jia-Han
Published: December 2022

Nanostructures of the collagen fibers play an important role in the corneal stroma. It influences the optical properties and transparency of the cornea. Several theoretical studies indicate that the cornea presents transparent because of the suitable diameter of collagen fibers, the arrangement between layers of the lamellar, and the refractive index of collagen fibers and fillers in the stroma [1]. The cornea is the transparent substance at the front of the eye. From the outside to the inside layers of the cornea are divided into epithelium, bowman’s layer, stroma, descemet’s membrane and endothelium. The thickness of the stroma is about 500 μm, which is about 90% of the total thickness of the cornea. It is made of 200 lamellar crystal layers which are stacked at an angle to each layers, and lamellar crystal consists type I and IV collagen fiber structure. In 1957, D. M. Mauurice proposed the theory of lattice arrangement in the fibrous structure of the corneal stroma layer [2].

Published: December 2022

Plasmonic nanostructures can be used to control the photoluminescence properties of various emitting materials. In this work, an efficient plasmon-induced energy transfer (quenching) was investigated. The luminescence intensity of gold quantum dots (AuQDs) was controlled by the localized surface plasmon resonance of silver nanoprisms (AgNPrs). The quenching was modulated by the degree of spectral overlap between the photoluminescence band of AuQDs and the dipole plasmon resonance of AgNPrs. An in-situ controlled quenching effect of AuQDs using an oxidative etching reaction of AgNPrs by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was demonstrated. Time-dependence of the luminescence intensity and the absorption intensity at 511 nm of AuQDs solutions mixed with AgNPrs-500 and AgNPrs-560 under oxidative etching of AgNPrs by H2O2 are shown in Figures 1A and 1B, respectively. These results represent that matching energy levels plays an important role in the energy transfer process in the AuQDs and AgNPrs system. This technique was further developed for application as a H2O2 sensor. This system was capable of detecting 1 nM H2O2 in an aqueous solution.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become a mainstay in biomedical imaging technology owing to its noninvasive imaging and higher spatial resolution. Various probes have been developed for OCT to extend the range of applications. We have been studying applications of short multimode fibers(SMMFs) as an imaging fiber GREIN lens in a forward-imaging probe, because of its miniaturization, robustness, reliability, and low cost. We have also reported basic characteristics of SMMF, such as MTF (modulation transfer function) and depolarizations, and in vivo rat brain imaging [1].

Authors: Chiou Shang-Hau , Hsueh Chun-Hway
Published: December 2022

Nowadays, with the rise of environmental awareness and energy crisis, sustainable energy has been widely studied. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is one of the most environment friendly ways in which the process of converting solar energy into fuels only produces hydrogen and oxygen. Semiconductor metal oxides such as ZnO and TiO2 have been generally explored for PEC water splitting because they possess high chemical stability, low cost, and proper band gap. In addition, the gold nanoparticles exhibiting distinctive localized surface plasmon resonance (ESPR) cause optical scattering and near-field enhancement to trap the incident light in the semiconductor and to improve the light absorption and effective optical path length [1].

Recently, the hologram display has been spotlighting attention as the next generation display technology and research and development are proceeding [1]. Generally, spatial light modulator (SLM) is mainly used for amplitude or phase modulation to generate holograms and it must need additional optical systems, which is applied to eliminate DC or conjugate noise. Therefore, the technique of the SLM for complex modulation has been continuously studied to reduce the volume of the optical system and efficiently generate the hologram. In this paper, we propose a spatial optical modulator source technology with complex modulated single pixel that can modulate amplitude and phase simultaneously using photonic crystal structure with double zero index (DZI) characteristics and effective medium phase delay structure of subwavelength scale [2-3].

Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) have long been predicted as low-cost enabling laser sources for many applications including optical communications, sensing and imaging. Traditional VCSELs use distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) as mirrors, which consist of many tens layers of epitaxy layers with alternating refractive indecies. Snice 2004, we develeoped a new class of planar optics has emerged using near-wavelength dielectric structures, known as high contrast metastructures (HCM). Many extraordinary properties can be designed top-down based for integrated optics on a silicon or GaAs substrate. The one-dimensional version, a single layer high index contrast near-wavelength gratings (HCG), has been used to replace the hundred-layered DBR in a VCSEL structure. In this talk, I will review recent results using HCG/HCM in device applications of VCSELs, beam-steering optical phased array, biosensor, 4-wave generation, and spatial light modulator. I will discuss inventions and advances in VCSELs that have led to recent global deployment of commercial applications including 3D sensing, LIDAR and optical coherent tomography applications. I will also discuss future prospects for advanced applications.
