Liu, Y. (author), Salemink, H.W.M. (author)We report the results of a study of an optical sensor based on a channel-drop technique with two cascaded cavities in photonic-crystal slabs. Quality factors and intensities of the resonant modes of the sensor were analyzed with three-dimensional simulations. With the introduction of a reflector in the bus-channel and by control of the coupling...journal article 2015

Sorokin, D.Y. (author), Chernyh, N.A. (author), Poroshina, M.N. (author)Recent intensive microbiological investigation of sulfidogenesis in soda lakes did not result in isolation of any pure cultures of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) able to directly oxidize acetate. The sulfate-dependent acetate oxidation at haloalkaline conditions has, so far, been only shown in two syntrophic associations of novel...journal article 2015
