The first direct measurement of gravitational waves by the LIGO and Virgo collaborations
has opened up new avenues to explore our Universe. This white paper outlines the …

Evidence has recently begun to accumulate that photoperiodic responses of mam mals and
birds may affect the control of energy balance and thermoregulation. Exposure to short …

Comprehensive amounts of valuable elements are lost due to the disposal of waste
materials which are generated during the hydrometallurgical production of zinc. Those …

Abstract The Einstein Telescope (ET), the European project for a third-generation
gravitational-wave detector, has a reference configuration based on a triangular shape …

The distinctive non-classical features of quantum physics were first discussed in the seminal
paper by A. Einstein, B. Podolsky and N. Rosen (EPR) in 1935. In his immediate response …

Only a few years ago, it was realized that the zero-area Sagnac interferometer topology is
able to perform quantum nondemolition measurements of position changes of a mechanical …

Continuous-wave squeezed states of light at the wavelength of 1550 nm have recently been
demonstrated, but so far the obtained factors of noise suppression still lag behind today's …

Djungarian dwarf hamsters, Phodopus s. sungorus, were kept in natural photoperiodic
conditions throughout the year, either inside at a constant T a of 23° C or outside subjected …

Exposure to a short photoperiod improved the thermogenic capacity, and cold resistance of
Djungarian hamsters and increased the respiratory power of their brown adipose tissue …

In Phodopus sungorus spontaneous shallow daily torpor occurred only during winter.
Frequency of torpor was not affected by low ambient temperature but the seasonal cueing …
