Abstract
We observed the kinetics of formation of colloidal films through directional drying with a pinned drying interface. The volume fraction of particles accumulated at the pinned drying interface increased in two stages: it rapidly increased in the initial stage of drying and then slowly increased. The final filling factor of the dried films decreased with increasing drying flux. We found a threshold drying flux for the formation of colloidal films below which uneven films are formed at the drying interface. This threshold flux is well explained by the competition between transport of particles by flow and transport by diffusion. We also found a minimum thickness for the formation of a packed layer of particles. The formation kinetics of a packed layer of particles due to drying was discussed.

Abstract
We demonstrate a hitless wavelength-selective switch (WSS) based on InGaAs/InAlAs five-layer asymmetric coupled quantum well (FACQW) quadruple series-coupled microring resonators. The WSS is driven by the electric-field-induced change in refractive index in the FACQW core layer caused by the quantum-confined Stark effect (QCSE) for high-speed operation. The WSS with high-mesa waveguides is fabricated on a molecular beam epitaxy-grown wafer by dry etching. The fabricated WSS consists of four microrings, each with a round-trip length of 350 μm and five directional couplers with shallow grooves. A boxlike spectral response and hitless switching with higher extinction ratios than a double series-coupled microring resonator are successfully demonstrated. In addition, we propose the improvement of switching characteristics by controlling the coupling efficiencies at the directional couplers.

Abstract
A hitless wavelength-selective switch (WSS) based on InGaAs/InAlAs multiple quantum well (MQW) second-order series-coupled microring resonators is proposed and fabricated. In the core layer, a five-layer asymmetric coupled quantum well (FACQW) structure is employed. The WSS is driven by the electrorefractive index change in the FACQW core layer caused by the quantum-confined Stark effect (QCSE). The wafer for the WSS is grown by molecular beam epitaxy and waveguide structures are formed by dry etching. Boxlike spectrum responses and hitless switching characteristics of the WSS are successfully demonstrated for the first time. The change in coupling efficiency at a coupler between a ring and a busline and between rings and its effect on the switching characteristics are also discussed.

Abstract
The optimal treatment of mitral regurgitation concomitant to heart failure remains controversial. A lack of consensus between cardiologists and cardiac surgeons, because of limited studies and heterogeneous data, has led to vaguely defined guidelines and different handling in the clinical routine in the past. However, progress in the operative management with excellent results of individual experienced centers suggests that a variety of patients might benefit from surgical therapy. Each patient should be evaluated individually regarding the benefits of surgical therapy which requires an interdisciplinary approach ("heart team") due to the complex pathophysiology and demanding diagnostics.
