The vibrational contribution to the third-order molecular hyperpolarisability, γv, of a series of dithienylethenes in the two isomeric forms has been measured, revealing that a large change in nonlinear optical (NLO) response accompanies the photochromic process, thus opening a window on the possibility of application of such systems as switching NLO materials.
The year, name, and vocabulary filters all operate on publications independently, rendering their contribution to the filtering step order-independent.
The originality of the model is that each region can pay a higher tax contribution to the federal government in order to allow the latter to provide more public goods.

This suggests that Mto1[9A1-bonsai]-GFP may make only a minor contribution to the assembly of higher-order complexes observed here and, moreover, that this assembly does not depend on any residual weak interaction with the γ-TuC.
In turn, an orderly yet changing China, under a strong, reform-minded leadership, will make greater contributions to the global order in favor of the United States.
