Whispering gallery resonators made out of lithium niobate allow for optical parametric oscillation and frequency comb generation employing the outstanding second-order nonlinear-optical properties of this material.An important knob to tune and control these processes is, e.g., the linear electro-optic effect, the Pockels effect via externally appli
The object-specific flood damage database HOWAS 21
The Flood Damage Database HOWAS 21 contains object-specific flood damage data resulting from fluvial, pluvial and groundwater flooding.The datasets incorporate various variables of flood hazard, exposure, vulnerability and direct tangible damage at properties from several economic sectors.The main purpose of development of HOWAS 21 was to support f
Poverty and self-regulation: Connecting psychosocial processes, neurobiology, and the risk for psychopathology
In the United States, over 40% of youth under the age of 18 live at or near the federal poverty line.Several decades of research have established clear links between exposure to child poverty and the development of psychopathology, yet the mechanisms that convey this risk remain unclear.We review research in developmental science and other allied d
Sequential biases on subjective judgments: Evidence from face attractiveness and ringtone agreeableness judgment.
When people make decisions about sequentially presented items in psychophysical experiments, their decisions are always biased by their preceding decisions and the preceding items, either by assimilation (shift towards the decision or item) or contrast (shift away from the decision or item).Such sequential biases also occur in naturalistic and real
