We report optical modulation of continuous terahertz (THz) wave in the frequency range of 570-600 GHz using photo-induced reconfigurable patterns on a silicon wafer. The patterns were implemented using programmable illumination from a commercially-available digital light processing (DLP) projector. A modulation depth of 20 dB at 585 GHz has been...
This study investigated potential application of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in depuration for
reducing Vibrio parahaemolyticus in oysters. Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 8014, which
exhibited strong bactericidal effects against V. parahaemolyticus in vitro, was added to artificial
seawater for depuration of Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) inoculated with V.
parahaemolyticus BE 98-2029...
Biodiesel has gained a significant amount of attention over the past decade as an environmentally friendly fuel that is capable of being utilized by a conventional diesel engine. However, the biodiesel production process generates glycerol-containing waste streams which have become a disposal issue for biodiesel plants and generated a surplus...
While most biological materials are insulating in nature, efficient extracellular electron transfer is a critical property of biofilms associated with microbial electrochemical systems and several microorganisms are capable of establishing conductive aggregates and biofilms. Though construction of these conductive microbial networks is an intriguing and important phenomenon in both natural...
The Bering Sea ecosystem has experienced significant climatic and biological shifts
over the past 3 decades, including temporal and spatial fluctuations of jellyfish biomass. Jellyfish
are important predators and competitors of fish; thus, it is critical to understand the effects of environmental
factors on their population dynamics. We explored the...

Programmable conductive patterns created by photoexcitation of semiconductor substrates using digital light processing (DLP) provides a versatile approach for spatial and temporal modulation of THz waves. The reconfigurable nature of the technology has great potential in implementing several promising THz applications, such as THz beam steering, THz imaging or THz...
