Optimization of optical frequency combs in SNAP bottle microresonators
The generation of optical frequency combs with low repetition rates in microresonators is a challenging problem. SNAP microresonators are promising candidates to solve it. We show how the generation of frequency combs via parametric modulation of SNAP microresonators can be optimized.
Soil conditions and the plant microbiome boost the accumulation of monoterpenes in the fruit of Citrus reticulata ‘Chachi’
Multi-omics approaches illustrated the effects of soil properties and soil microorganisms on monoterpene production in the citrus peel of plants from core regions.
Increasing countries’ financial resilience through global catastrophe risk pooling
Extreme weather events impact countries' economies. To increase financial resilience against such events, some countries joined sovereign catastrophe risk pools. The risk diversification of these pools - and their member countries' financial resilience - can significantly increase via global pooling.
