Simulation of self-image interference in single mode-no-core-single mode fiber with COMSOL Multiphysics® by Mohd. Razali, Nazirah, Lokman, Muhammad Quisar, Zuikafly, Siti Nur Fatin, Ahmad, Fauzan, Yahaya, Hafizal

“…This paper proposes a simulation of self-image interference in a single mode-no-core-single mode fiber by using the wave-optics module in COMSOL Multiphysics® software. The beam propagation method is used to observe the self-image interference for different self-image indexes ranging from one to four indexes while the self-image length is obtained from the theoretical calculation before a simulation is carried out. …”

Halving premature death and improving quality of life at all ages by Norheim, OF, Chang, A, Bolongaita, S, Barraza-Lloréns, M, Jha, P, Lewington, S, Jamison, DT, Peto, R

“…<p><strong>Background:</strong> Although death in old age is unavoidable, premature death—defined here as death before age 70 years—is not. To assess whether halving premature mortality by 2050 is feasible, we examined the large variation in premature death rates before age 70 years and trends over the past 50 years (1970–2019), covering ten world regions and the 30 most-populous nations. …”
