Spin wave characterization in a 1D YIG magnonic crystal
… time-resolved Brillouin light scattering (TR-BLS) measurements. Magnonic crystals are a promising candidate to aid in developing spin-based devices that exploit the spin of the electron since magnonic crystals can be used to control the information transmitted by spin waves. In magnonic …

Pharmacists' Preparedness For Acute Medical Emergencies
… which comprised two components for each scale of BLS-related and non-BLS related skills. MANOVA was used to determine whether differences exist between pharmacists' self and collective efficacy and their practice location, type of practice, position and prior experience. Results/Discussion: Most …

Phenotypic and biochemical characterisation of the causal agent of bacterial leaf streak of maize
… crop production losses. Bacterial leaf streak (BLS) of maize was first reported in South Africa in 1949 and has not been reported elsewhere. Very little is known about the pathogen involved and therefore it is deemed necessary to compile a characteristic profile for the pathogen to prevent the …

Bayesian level sets and texture models for image segmentation and classification with application to non-invasive stem cell monitoring
… and other applications, the Bayesian Level Set (BLS) algorithm is developed for automated segmentation and classification that computes smooth, regular segmenting contours in a manner similar to level sets while possessing a simple, probabilistic implementation similar to that of the finite …

The Economic Implications of Proposed Changes in the Retail Meat Pricing Series
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has historically collected retail meat prices from various supermarkets to use in its calculation of the Consumer Price Index. The Economic Research Service (ERS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture is responsible for reporting retail meat prices, which it …

Genetic architecture of multiple disease resistance in one maize chromosome segment substitution line population
… and bacterial resistance. Bacterial leaf streak (BLS) is a foliar disease of maize caused by Xanthomonas vasicola pv. vasculorum. Since the first report of BLS in the United States in 2014, this disease has spread all over the Midwestern corn belt. Little is known about the disease cycle, and …

Eco-Integrated Production and Formulation of Arthrospira platensis Dietary Supplements
… encapsulated into liposomes (Lps), bilosomes (Bls), and gelatin-enriched bilosomes (G-Bls). These nanocarriers exhibited favorable physicochemical characteristics, including small particle sizes (101.77–129.73 nm), high encapsulation efficiencies (>80%), and stable negative surface charges. …

Transparent Tissues and Porous Thin Films: A Brillouin Light Scattering Study
… High frequency (GHz) Brillouin light scattering (BLS) experiments were performed on human lenses spanning an age range from 30-70 years. The measured frequency shifts, and derived bulk moduli values were found tonot change significantly over the age span studied suggesting the human eye lens does …

Collaborating with Black first-generation African youth for local career interventions
… for Black adults (Bureau of Labor Statistics; BLS, 2018). While this would typically be associated with higher levels of earning, there are still existing pay disparities for Black workers and other racial groups (BLS, 2018, Gould, 2020). Many researchers in vocational psychology have looked at …
