What are the intensities and line-shapes of the twenty four polarization terms in coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy? by Niu, Kai, Lee, Soo-Ying

“…It is shown that in fs/ps CARS, for the two cases of off-resonance CARS in toluene and resonanceCARS in rhodamine 6G, where we use a fs pump pulse, a fs Stokes pulse and a ps probe pulse, we obtain sharp vibrational lines in four of the polarization terms where the pump and Stokes pulses can create a vibrational coherence on the ground electronic state, while the spectral line-shapes of the other twenty terms are broad and featureless. …”

Higher education and public good in England by Marginson, S, Yang, L

“…In the Anglophone jurisdictions, higher education policy is over-determined by economic policy and subjected to neoliberal regulation based on quasi-market competition between corporatised institutions, regulated by performative comparisons, tuition fees, and outputs imagined as commodities. England installed marketisation in successive policy changes between the Thatcher government’s introduction of commercial fees for international students in 1979 and the full-fee market for domestic students, supported by subsidised income-contingent loans, in 2012. …”
