TIME-DOMAIN MEASUREMENT OF COHERENT TRANSITION RADIATION USING A PHOTOCONDUCTIVE ANTENNA WITH MICRO-STRUCTURED ELECTRODES

Time-domain measurement of coherent transition radiation using a photoconductive antenna with micro-structured electrodes

Catuaba The longitudinal electric field profile of coherent transition radiation (CTR), which is a radially polarized terahertz (THz) pulse from an electron bunch, was measured using a large-aperture photoconductive antenna (PCA) with a diameter of 8.8 mm and micro-structured concentric electrodes to detect THz light pulses.Photo-induced charge car

Antineoplastic multi-drug chemotherapy to sensitize tumors triggers multi-drug resistance and inhibits efficiency of maintenance treatment in glioblastoma cells

Combinations of the well-known antineoplastic agents 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu), cisplatin, and paclitaxel are employed to increase radiotherapy/immunotherapy efficacy against persistent and resistant tumors.However, data remains needed on the hormetic, chronic, and long-term side effects of these aggressive combination chemotherapies.Here we investigat
