Sir Thomas More and the art of dialogue
Creators: name: Lakowski, Romauld I.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: In this study I present an analysis of the structures of four works by Sir Thomas More: The History of Richard III, the 'Dialogue of Counsel' in Book I of Utopia, The Dialogue Concerning Heresies, and The Dialogue of Comfort in Tribulation. My basic thesis is that Thomas More was a superb literary artist and a master of the art of literary dialogue, and that beneath the often apparently rambling and digressive surface of each of these literary works, there is a 'deep structure' that is highly coherent and even tightly organised. I also show that More's use of dialogue in each of the three dialogues is genuinely dialectical—that the individual speakers in the three literary dialogues make a genuine contribution to thedevelopment of the argument—and that the movement from speaker to speaker in the History of Richard III is also genuinely dialectical— anticipating the art of the three later dialogues. To this end I have provided an interpretive reading/analysis of each of the works, focussing on More's "art of dialogue" in the passages of direct and indirect speech in Richard III, and in the dialogues between Hythloday and Persona More in Book I of Utopia, between Chancellor More and the Messenger in the Dialogue Concerning Heresies, and between Vincent and Anthony in the Dialogue of Comfort. The thesis also includes a major bibliographical appendix, consisting of about two thousand items of More scholarship organised according to topic. (The Bibliography is quite comprehensive covering all of More's works and also background studies and biographies.) The appendix is provided both as part of my argument and as a tool for further research.

description: The free energies of the FCC, BCC, HCP and Simple Cubic phases for hard spheres are calculated as a function of density using the Fundamental Measure Theory models of Rosenfeld et al (PRE 55, 4245 (1997)), Tarazona (PRL 84, 694 (2001)) and Roth et al (J. Phys.: Cond. Matt. 14, 12063 (2002)) in the Gaussian approximation. For the FCC phase, the present work confirms the vanishing of the Lindemann parameter (i.e. vanishing of the width of the Gaussians) near close packing for all three models and the results for the HCP phase are nearly identical. For the BCC phase and for packing fractions above $η\sim 0.56$, all three theories show multiple solid structures differing in the widths of the Gaussians. In all three cases, one of these structures shows the expected vanishing of the Lindemann parameter at close packing, but this physical structure is only thermodynamically favored over the unphysical structures in the Tarazona theory and even then, some unphysical behavior persists at lower densities. The simple cubic phase is stabilized in the model of Rosenfeld et al. for a range of densities and in the Tarazona model only very near close-packing.

description: We present a comparison between independent computer codes, modeling the physics and chemistry of interstellar photon dominated regions (PDRs). Our goal was to understand the mutual differences in the PDR codes and their effects on the physical and chemical structure of the model clouds, and to converge the output of different codes to a common solution. A number of benchmark models have been created, covering low and high gas densities and far ultraviolet intensities. The benchmark models were computed in two ways: one set assuming constant temperatures, thus testing the consistency of the chemical network and photo-processes, and a second set determining the temperature selfconsistently. We investigated the impact of PDR geometry and agreed on the comparison of results from spherical and plane-parallel PDR models. We identified a number of key processes governing the chemical network which have been treated differently in the various codes, and defined a proper common treatment. We established a comprehensive set of reference models for ongoing and future PDR model bench-marking and were able to increase the agreement in model predictions for all benchmark models significantly.

description: The seemingly simple problem of determining the drag on a body moving through a very viscous fluid has, for over 150 years, been a source of theoretical confusion, mathematical paradoxes, and experimental artifacts, primarily arising from the complex boundary layer structure of the flow near the body and at infinity. We review the extensive experimental and theoretical literature on this problem, with special emphasis on the logical relationship between different approaches. The survey begins with the developments of matched asymptotic expansions, and concludes with a discussion of perturbative renormalization group techniques, adapted from quantum field theory to differential equations. The renormalization group calculations lead to a new prediction for the drag coefficient, one which can both reproduce and surpass the results of matched asymptotics.

description: We study possible restrictions on the structure of curvature corrections to gravitational theories in the context of their corresponding Kac--Moody algebras, following the initial work on E10 in Class. Quant. Grav. 22 (2005) 2849. We first emphasize that the leading quantum corrections of M-theory can be naturally interpreted in terms of (non-gravity) fundamental weights of E10. We then heuristically explore the extent to which this remark can be generalized to all over-extended algebras by determining which curvature corrections are compatible with their weight structure, and by comparing these curvature terms with known results on the quantum corrections for the corresponding gravitational theories.

Chiral Multi-layer Waveguides Incorporating Graphene Sheets: An Analytical Approach

description: This paper presents a novel analytical model for chiral multi-layer waveguides incorporating graphene sheets. The general structure is composed of various chiral layers, where a graphene sheet has been sandwiched between two adjacent chiral layers. We have chosen and studied this general structure to suggest a new platform for novel emerging sciences such as optical sensing. An analytical model has been proposed for the general structure to find its dispersion relation and other modal properties such as the effective index and the propagation length. To show the richness of our general structure, two novel chiral waveguides containing graphene sheets have been introduced and investigated. Our analytical results show that high values of effective indices, e.g. neff=15 at the frequency of 8 THz for the second structure, is achievable. Moreover, it has been shown that the chemical potential of the graphene and the chirality can adjust and control the plasmonic features. Our multi-layer structure and its analytical model can be utilized in several potential applications such as switches, absorbers, cloaks, polarization rotators, and directional couplers in the THz frequencies.

description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of the Nietzsche’s ideas in relation to Christianity. We examined the frames in which Nietzsche himself expands on Christian religion. Then we introduce in depth each book – text, where appears philosopher’ s opinion in concerning the Christianity. Besides we refer to Nietzsche’s opinion in relation to Christianity from the beginning till the end of his life. We examined and study Nietzsche’s texts terming on the time he wrote them (from his early texts to the last) and described and analyzed his thoughts in relation to Christianity and under which circumstances this relation was made. Also we separated Nietzsche’s relation to Christianity as he did himself, from Nietzsche’s opinion for Jesus Christ. Finally we testified Nietzsche’s global idea for Christianity, terming on philosopher’ s books.

Our calculation extends a recently-introduced framework based on scattering amplitudes and effective field theory to consider non-minimal coupling of the spinning objects to gravity. At the order that we consider, we establish the validity of the formula proposed in \cite{Bern:2020buy} that relates the impulse and spin kick in a scattering event to the eikonal phase.

description: Highly symmetric networks can exhibit partly symmetry-broken states, including clusters and chimera states, i.e., states of coexisting synchronized and unsynchronized elements. We address the $\mathbb{S}_4$ permutation symmetry of four globally coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators and uncover an interconnected web of differently symmetric solutions. Among these are chaotic $2\!-\!1\!-\!1$ minimal chimeras that arise from $2\!-\!1\!-\!1$ periodic solutions in a period-doubling cascade, as well as fully asymmetric chaotic states arising similarly from periodic $1\!-\!1\!-\!1\!-\!1$ solutions. A backbone of equivariant pitchfork bifurcations mediate between the two cascades, culminating in equivariant pitchforks of chaotic attractors.

These parameters are related to average S and P wave scattering parameters in the subthreshold energy region. A fair consistency of the X-ray data for all Z values, stopping pbar data and the Nbar-N scattering data has been achieved. The determination of neutron density profiles at the nuclear surface is undertaken, and the determination of the neutron R_{rms} radii is attempted. Uncertainties due to the input data and the procedure are discussed.

description: Las Cumbres Observatory (LCO) has deployed a network of ten identical 1-m telescopes to four locations. The global coverage and flexibility of the LCO network makes it ideal for discovery, follow-up, and characterization of all Solar System objects, and especially Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). We describe the "LCO NEO Follow-up Network" which makes use of the LCO network of robotic telescopes and an online, cloud-based web portal, NEOexchange, to perform photometric characterization and spectroscopic classification of NEOs and follow-up astrometry for both confirmed NEOs and unconfirmed NEO candidates. The follow-up astrometric, photometric, and spectroscopic characterization efforts are focused on those NEO targets that are due to be observed by the planetary radar facilities and those on the NHATS lists. Astrometry allows us to improve target orbits, making radar observations possible for objects with a short arc or large orbital uncertainty and also allows for the detection and measurement of the Yarkovsky effect on NEOs. Photometric & spectroscopic data allows us to determine the light curve shape and amplitude, measure rotation periods, determine the taxonomic classification, and improve the overall characterization of these targets. We describe the NEOexchange follow-up portal and the methodology adopted which allows the software to be packaged and deployed anywhere, including in off-site cloud services. This allows professionals, amateurs, and citizen scientists to plan, schedule and analyze NEO imaging and spectroscopy data using the LCO network and acts as a coordination hub for the NEO follow-up efforts. We illustrate these capabilities with examples of first period determinations for radar-targeted NEOs and its use to plan and execute multi-site photometric and spectroscopic observations of (66391) 1999 KW4, the subject of the most recent planetary defense exercise campaign.

description: A recent study demonstrated that freedom of convection and strength of magnetic field in the photospheric feet of active-region (AR) coronal loops, together, can engender or quench heating in them. Other studies stress that magnetic flux cancellation at the loop-feet potentially drives heating in loops. We follow 24-hour movies of a bipolar AR, using EUV images from SDO/AIA and line-of-sight (LOS) magnetograms from SDO/HMI, to examine magnetic polarities at the feet of 23 of the brightest coronal loops. We derived FeXVIII emission (hot-94) images (using the Warren et al. method) to select the hottest/brightest loops, and confirm their footpoint locations via non-force-free field extrapolations. From 6"$\times$6" boxes centered at each loop foot in LOS magnetograms we find that $\sim$40\% of the loops have both feet in unipolar flux, and $\sim$60\% of the loops have at least one foot in mixed-polarity flux. The loops with both feet unipolar are $\sim$15\% shorter lived on average than the loops having mixed-polarity foot-point flux, but their peak-intensity averages are equal. The presence of mixed-polarity magnetic flux in at least one foot of majority of the loops suggests that flux cancellation at the footpoints may drive most of the heating. But, the absence of mixed-polarity magnetic flux (to the detection limit of HMI) in $\sim$40\% of the loops suggests that flux cancellation may not be necessary to drive heating in coronal loops -- magnetoconvection and field strength at both loop feet possibly drive much of the heating, even in the cases where a loop foot presents mixed-polarity magnetic flux.

Software and results for: Incorporating social norms into a configurable agent-based model of commuting behaviour: Anonymised review copy
Creators: name: Anonymous
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Introduction: Interventions to increase active commuting have been recommended as a method to increase population physical activity, but evidence is mixed. Social norms related to travel behaviour may influence the uptake of active commuting interventions but are rarely considered in the design and evaluation of interventions. Methods: In this study we develop an agent-based model that incorporates social norms related to travel behaviour and demonstrate the utility of this through implementing car-free Wednesdays. A synthetic population of Waltham Forest, London, UK was generated using a microsimulation approach with data from the UK Census 2011 and UK HLS datasets. An agent-based model was created using this synthetic population which modelled how the actions of peers and neighbours, subculture, habit, weather, bicycle ownership, car ownership, environmental supportiveness, and congestion (all configurable model parameters) affect the decision to travel between four modes: walking, cycling, driving, and taking public transport. Results: The developed model (MOTIVATE) is a fully configurable agent-based model where social norms related to travel behaviour are an integral part of the model in order to provide a more realistic representation of the socio-ecological systems in which active commuting interventions may be deployed. The utility of this model is demonstrated using car-free days as a hypothetical intervention. In the control scenario, the odds of active travel were plausible at 0.091 (89% HPDI: [0.091, 0.091]). Compared to the control scenario, the odds of active travel were increased by 70.3% (89% HPDI: [70.3%, 70.3%]), in the intervention scenario, on non-car-free days; the effect of the intervention is sustained to non-car-free days. Discussion: While these results demonstrate the utility of our agent-based model, rather than aim to make accurate predictions, they do suggest that by there being a `nudge' of car-free days, there may be a sustained change in active commuting behaviour. The model is a useful tool for investigating the effect of how social networks and social norms influence the effectiveness of various interventions. If configured using real-world built environment data, it may be useful for investigating how social norms interact with the built environment to cause the emergence of commuting conventions.
Three essays in real estate economics
Creators: name: Fu, Yuming
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This dissertation consists of three separate essays. The first two essays focus on real estate brokerage; one studies the conditions for efficient employment in the real estate brokerage industry under fixed commission rates and the other examines the role of real estate agents in buyer-seller bargaining. The third essay presents an integrated analysis of housing investment and consumption choices that takes into account both the uncertainty in investment returns and liquidity constraints. Essay one presents a model of real estate trading with brokerage that integrates sequential search, two-sided matching, and the competitive entry and effort choice of real estate agents. The equilibrium employment pattern of the model helps to explain the observation that the number of agents is more sensitive to the expected transaction price than to the transaction volume. The condition for efficient employment requires the commission to be proportional to the opportunity cost of search time and the expected trading gain, with the proportion determined by the productivity of brokerage employment. Efficient employment also requires regulating the entry so as to achieve the productivity balance between the number of agents and individual effort. Essay two examines asymmetric information and bargaining within the model of real estate trading developed in essay one. The equilibrium outcomes of bargaining with and without information asymmetry are characterized with the help of mechanism design methodology, and the associated welfare levels are compared. The analysis is applied to evaluating the role of real estate agents in the bargaining. Agents seek compromises between the buyer and seller by providing credible information to both parties. Such a role is welfare improving when the scale economy of brokerage with respect to the stock of buyers and sellers is not strong and brokerage employment is sufficient. In essay three, Pratt's certainty-equivalent approximation is applied to the Henderson-Ioannides (1983) housing tenure choice model. The key trade-offs for housing investment and consumption choices induced by the uncertainty and liquidity constraints are clearly illustrated and the implications for tenure choice examined against the existing empirical evidence.
Mountains on Neutron Stars: Accreted vs. Non-Accreted crusts

description: The aim of this paper is to compare the two cases of an isolated neutron star, with a non-accreted crust, and that of an accreting neutron star, with an accreted crust, and try to estimate which one of the two would make a better source of gravitational waves. In order to do this we must evaluate the maximum ``mountain'' that the crust can sustain in these two cases. We first do this using the formalism of Ushomirsky, Cutler and Bildsten (2000) and find that the maximum quadrupole is very similar in the two cases, with the non-accreted crust sustaining a slightly larger mountain. We then develop a perturbation formalism for the problem, that allows us to drop the Cowling approximation and have more control over the boundaries. The use of this formalism confirms that there is not much difference between the two cases, but leads to results approximately one order of magnitude larger than those we obtain with the formalism of Ushomirsky, Cutler and Bildsten (2000).

Στο πρώτο μέρος μελετάται η απήχηση των έργων του Ομήρου, των Κωμικών ποιητών, των Φιλοσόφων ,των Ιστορικών και των Τραγικών ποιητών στα έργα του Αρχιεπισκόπου. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, επιχειρείται η ανάλυση του τρόπου, με τον οποίο ο Ευστάθιος προσλαμβάνει στους λόγους του στοιχεία από τα έργα των συγγραφέων αυτών, και στη συνέχεια εξετάζεται κατά πόσο επιτυγχάνει τη δημιουργική και πρωτότυπη αξιοποίηση τους μέσα στο δικό του κείμενο. Στο δεύτερο μέρος, κατά τον αυτό τρόπο παρουσιάζεται η απήχηση των έργων των χριστιανών συγγραφέων και η γόνιμη χρήση τους στο Ευσταθιανό έργο.
description: This study examines the influence of the secular and Christian literature on the eighteen orations of St. Eustathius, Archbishop of Thessalonike, which were edited by P. Wirth (Eustathii Thessalonicensis Opera Minora). The first part studies the impact of Homer's works, of the Comic poets, of the Philosophers as well as of the Historical and Tragic poets on the works of the Archbishop. In particular, this study first attempts to analyze the way Eustathius draws upon many elements from the works of the aforementioned writers in his speeches, and then examines how far the creative and original use of those elements is achieved in his own text. In the same way, the second part focuses on and presents the impact of the works of the Christian writers and their fruitful use in the Eustathian work.

description: The BiPo project is dedicated to the measurement of extremely low radioactivity contamination of SuperNEMO source foils (^{208}Tl < 2 \muBq/kg and ^{214}Bi < 10 \muBq/kg). The R&D phase is started: a modular BiPo prototype with its shielding test facility is under construction. The goal of this prototype is to study the background and particularly the surface contamination of scintillators. The first capsule has been installed in the Canfranc Underground Laboratory in October, 17th and is now taking data. After 10.7 days of measurements, a preliminary upper limit on the surface radiopurity of the scintillators of A(^{208}Tl) < 60 \muBq/m^2 (90% C. L.) has been obtained.

description: The friction force on a test particle traveling through a plasma that is both strongly coupled and strongly magnetized is studied using molecular dynamics simulations. In addition to the usual stopping power component aligned antiparallel to the velocity, a transverse component that is perpendicular to both the velocity and Lorentz force is observed. This component, which was recently discovered in weakly coupled plasmas, is found to increase in both absolute and relative magnitude in the strongly coupled regime. Strong coupling is also observed to induce a third component of the friction force in the direction of the Lorentz force. These first-principles simulations reveal novel physics associated with collisions in strongly coupled, strongly magnetized, plasmas that are not predicted by existing kinetic theories. The effect is expected to influence macroscopic transport in a number of laboratory experiments and astrophysical plasmas.

description: We study large sample properties of Bayesian analysis of the proportional hazard model with neutral to the right process priors on the baseline hazard function. We show that the posterior distribution of the baseline cumulative hazard function and regression coefficients centered at the maximum likelihood estimator is jointly asymptotically equivalent to the sampling distribution of the maximum likelihood estimator.

Characterization of a murine activated lymphocyte antigen (MALA-2) : the murine homologue of human intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1)
Creators: name: Horley, Kathleen J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: A previously characterized rat monoclonal antibody, YN1/1.7, recognizes an antigen termed murine activated lymphocyte antigen (MALA-2). MALA-2 is a 95-100 kD monomeric glycoprotein and is expressed on mitogen activated spleen cells but is present at low levels onthymocytes, fibroblasts, and lymph node cells. Interestingly, YN1/1.7, inhibits mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) suggesting that MALA-2 is directly involved in lymphocytea ctivation. In this research project, the gene encoding MALA-2 was characterized by cDNA cloning, genomic cloning, and analysis of an assumed alternatively spliced mRNA. Two cDNA clones were isolated from an NS-1 cDNA library using oligonucleotide probes constructed from amino acid sequences of peptides derived by tryptic cleavage. The two cDNAs, 1(4-1.1 and 1(3-1.1, both encode MALA-2 but differ in their 5' untranslated sequences and those encoding the leader and N-terminal nine amino acids. MALA-2 is a transmembrane glycoprotein with five immunoglobulin-like domains. It displays homology with the human intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), as well as human ICAM-2, human ICAM-3, and murine ICAM-2. Screening of genomic libraries yielded a partial genomic clone (4.0 kb ), containing five 3'exons and a pseudo exon. The five exons are common to both cDNAs and have consensus splice donor and acceptor sequences. The pseudo exon lacks these splice donor and acceptor sequences. The exons encoding the 5 region of K4-1.1 were not isolated, but using data from Southern blot analyses a proposed map of the whole gene was constructed. Two 4.0 kb Barn HI fragments seem to contain all of the exons, with the 5' region probably consisting of two exons, and being located at least 6.0 kb upstream of the five 3' exons. The 1(3-1.1 cDNA has not been reported elsewhere, thus it was further analysed for its authenticity. The 5' region unique to1(3-1.1 did not seem to be linked to the 5' region of K4-1.1, and Northern blot analysis failed to detect a 3.0 kb message corresponding to the K3-1.1 cDNA. However, PCR analysis using primers spanning the common junction between the two cDNAs detected a fragment. These data suggest that a K3-1.1 transcript can exist but may be expressed at a very low level.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Zusammenhang zwischem dem sozioökonomischen Status (SES) und der Qualität des Lebensmitteleinkaufs. Dazu wurden 400 Probanden in 9 Supermärkten Rostocks rekrutiert. Ihre Lebensmitteleinkäufe wurden aufgenommen, und anschließend folgte ein Interview zum SES. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass Probanden mit einem hohen SES signifikant weniger energiedichte und außerdem - angelehnt an Empfehlungen der DGE - mehr gesunde Lebensmittel einkaufen als Probanden mit einem mittleren SES.
A Database for Fast Access to Particle-Gated Event Data

description: In nuclear physics experiments involving in-flight fragmentation of ions, usually a large number of different nuclei is produced and various detection systems are employed to identify the species event by event, e.g. by measuring their specific energy loss and time-of-flight. For such cases -- not necessarily limited to nuclear physics -- where subsets of a large dataset can be identified using a small number of measured signals a software for fast access to varying subsets of such a dataset has been developed. The software has been used successfully in the analysis of a one neutron knock-out experiment at GANIL.

description: We present results from a simulation of quenched overlap fermions with Lüscher-Weisz gauge field action on lattices up to $24^3 48$ and for pion masses down to $\approx 250$ MeV. Among the quantities we study are the pion, rho and nucleon masses, the light and strange quark masses, and the pion decay constant. The renormalization of the scalar and axial vector currents is done nonperturbatively in the $RI-MOM$ scheme. The simulations are performed at two different lattice spacings, $a \approx 0.1$ fm and $\approx 0.15$ fm, and on two different physical volumes, to test the scaling properties of our action and to study finite volume effects. We compare our results with the predictions of chiral perturbation theory and compute several of its low-energy constants. The pion mass is computed in sectors of fixed topology as well.

description: Wenngleich die Soziokulturelle Animation gemeinhin in der Schweiz der Sozialen Arbeit zugeordnet oder in deren Nähe angesiedelt wird, kann sie vor dem Hintergrund der skizzierten Praxis auch als Brücke hin zu den Künsten begriffen werden. Allein das dem Begriff der Soziokultur innewohnende Interesse an der Kultur darf als Antenne in die Sphäre der Künste gelesen werden, wenngleich Kunst und Kultur nicht einfach gleichzusetzen sind. Dieses Ausgreifen der Sozialen Arbeit lässt sich unter dem Zusatz der Kunstorientierung noch akzentuieren. Damit wird ein Verständnis animatorischer Praxis verdeutlicht, welches einerseits sozialarbeiterische und sozialpädagogische Methoden mit den Künsten in Verbindung bringt und umgekehrt Vermittlung und Pädagogik in den Künsten mit dem Blick auf soziale Aufgabenstellungen und Problemlagen betreibt. So sperrig die Formel Kunstorientierte Soziokulturellen Animation auch klingen mag, so sehr bietet die lange Wortfolge wertvolle semantische Anknüpfungspunkte zur gedanklichen Auseinandersetzung mit dem damit abgesteckten Handlungsfeld. Die Fragen denen es nachzugehen gilt, lauten: In welchem Verhältnis stehen künstlerische und sozialarbeiterische Praxen zueinander? Welches sind die Prägungselemente der jeweiligen professionellen Sozialisation? Worin liegen die Unterschiede und worin zeigt sich Verbindendes, das im Hinblick auf eine gemeinsam weiterzuentwickelnde Kunstorientierte Soziokulturelle Animation füreinander fruchtbar gemacht werden kann?

description: I review single-molecule experiments (SME) in biological physics. Recent technological developments have provided the tools to design and build scientific instruments of high enough sensitivity and precision to manipulate and visualize individual molecules and measure microscopic forces. Using SME it is possible to: manipulate molecules one at a time and measure distributions describing molecular properties; characterize the kinetics of biomolecular reactions and; detect molecular intermediates. SME provide the additional information about thermodynamics and kinetics of biomolecular processes. This complements information obtained in traditional bulk assays. In SME it is also possible to measure small energies and detect large Brownian deviations in biomolecular reactions, thereby offering new methods and systems to scrutinize the basic foundations of statistical mechanics. This review is written at a very introductory level emphasizing the importance of SME to scientists interested in knowing the common playground of ideas and the interdisciplinary topics accessible by these techniques. The review discusses SME from an experimental perspective, first exposing the most common experimental methodologies and later presenting various molecular systems where such techniques have been applied. I briefly discuss experimental techniques such as atomic-force microscopy (AFM), laser optical tweezers (LOT), magnetic tweezers (MT), biomembrane force probe (BFP) and single-molecule fluorescence (SMF). I then present several applications of SME to the study of nucleic acids (DNA, RNA and DNA condensation), proteins (protein-protein interactions, protein folding and molecular motors). Finally, I discuss applications of SME to the study of the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of small systems and the experimental verification of fluctuation theorems. I conclude with a discussion of open questions and future perspectives.
