African Americans Show Alterations in Endogenous Pain Regulatory Mechanisms and Reduced Pain Tolerance to Experimental Pain Procedures
Creators: name: Mechlin, Beth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: In order to examine ethnic differences in pain sensitivity 51 African Americans (24 men, 27 women) and 55 individuals from Other ethnic groups (primarily Caucasian; 26 men, 29 women) were tested for pain sensitivity to ischemia, heat, and cold pressor tests after both mental stress and rest. Resting and stress-induced blood pressure (BP), plasma norepinephrine (NE), and cortisol were assessed. African Americans had lower pain tolerance relative to Caucasian/Others for all pain tests. Only the Caucasian/Other group showed the expected inverse relationship between BP and pain sensitivity. African Americans exhibited lower cortisol concentrations overall and blunted NE and systolic BP responses to stress. Only in Caucasians/Others was the relationship seen between higher stress-induced BP, cortisol, and NE levels and greater pain tolerance. The results suggest that there are alterations in endogenous pain regulatory mechanisms in African Americans, which may contribute to their greater rate of clinical pain symptoms.

description: We present new results of a 12CO(J=1-0) imaging survey using the Atacama Compact Array (ACA) for 31 HI detected galaxies in the IC 1459 and NGC 4636 groups. This is the first CO imaging survey for loose galaxy groups. We obtained well-resolved CO data (~0.7-1.5 kpc) for a total of 16 galaxies in two environments. By comparing our ACA CO data with the HI and UV data, we probe the impacts of the group environment on the cold gas components (CO and HI gas) and star formation activity. We find that CO and/or HI morphologies are disturbed in our group members, some of which show highly asymmetric CO distributions (e.g., IC 5264, NGC 7421, and NGC 7418). In comparison with isolated galaxies in the xCOLD GASS sample, our group galaxies tend to have low star formation rates and low H2 gas fractions. Our findings suggest that the group environment can change the distribution of cold gas components, including the molecular gas, and star formation properties of galaxies. This is supporting evidence that preprocessing in the group-like environment can play an important role in galaxy evolution.

GUT-Inspired Supersymmetric Model for h\rightarrow γγand Muon g-2

description: We study a GUT-inspired supersymmetric model with non-universal gaugino masses that can explain the observed muon g-2 anomaly while simultaneously accommodating an enhancement or suppression in the h \rightarrowγγdecay channel. In order to accommodate these observations and m_h \simeq 125-126 GeV, the model requires a spectrum consisting of relatively light sleptons whereas the colored sparticles are heavy. The predicted stau mass range corresponding to R_{γγ}\ge 1.1 is 100 {\rm \ GeV} \lesssim m_{\tildeτ} \lesssim 200 {\rm \ GeV}. The constraint on the slepton masses, particularly on the smuons, arising from considerations of muon g-2 is somewhat milder. The slepton masses in this case are predicted to lie in the few hundred GeV range. The colored sparticles turn out to be considerably heavier with m_{\tilde{g}} \gtrsim 4.5 {\rm \ TeV} and m_{\tilde{t}_1} \gtrsim 3.5 {\rm \ TeV}, which makes it challenging for these to be observed at the 14 TeV LHC.

Complete monogamy of the multipartite quantum mutual information

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Quantum mutual information (QMI) not only displays the mutual information in the system but also demonstrates some quantum correlation beyond entanglement. We explore here the two alternatives of multipartite quantum mutual information (MQMI) based on the von Neumann entropy according to the framework of the complete measure of multi-particle quantum system. We show that these two MQMI are complete, monogamous on pure states, and one of them is not only completely monogamous but also tightly complete monogamous while another one is not. Moreover, we present another two MQMI by replacing the von Neumann entropy with the Tasllis $q$-entropy from the former two ones. It is proved that one of them displays some degree of ``completeness'' as a measure of multi-particle quantum system, but the other one is not even non-negative and thus it can not be a alternative of MQMI. We also discuss the triangle relation for these three alternatives of MQMI. It is shown that the triangle inequalities hold for the former two MQMI as that of entanglement measure but the later one fails. By comparison, we found that the von Neumann entropy is better than other versions of entropy as desired when we characterize the quantum correlation in multi-particle system.

description: Recently it has been introduced an algorithm Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff (BCH) formula, which extends the Van-Brunt and Visser recent results, leading to new closed forms of BCH formula. More recently, it has been shown that there are {\it 13 types} of such commutator algebras. We show, by providing the explicit solutions, that these include the generators of the semisimple complex Lie algebras. More precisely, for any pair, $X$, $Y$ of the Cartan-Weyl basis, we find $W$, linear combination of $X$, $Y$, such that $$ \exp(X) \exp(Y)=\exp(W) $$ The derivation of such closed forms follows, in part, by using the above mentioned recent results. The complete derivation is provided by considering the structure of of the root system. Furthermore, if $X$, $Y$ and $Z$ are three generators of the Cartan-Weyl basis, we find, for a wide class of cases, $W$, linear combination of $X$, $Y$ and $Z$, such that $$ \exp(X) \exp(Y) \exp(Z)=\exp(W) $$ It turns out that the relevant commutator algebras are {\it type 1c-i}, {\it type 4} and {\it type 5}. A key result concerns an iterative application of the algorithm leading to relevant extensions of the cases admitting closed forms of the BCH formula. Here we provide the main steps of such an iteration that will be developed in a forthcoming paper.

title: 'This may be my war after all' : the non-combatant poetry of W.H. Auden, Louis MacNeice, Dylan Thomas, and Stevie Smith
Creators: name: Lynch, Éadaoín
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2018

description: This research aims to illuminate how and why war challenges the limits of poetic representation, through an analysis of non-combatant poetry of the Second World War. It is motivated by the question: how can one portray, represent, or talk about war? Literature on war poetry tends to concentrate on the combatant poets of the First World War, or their influence, while literature on the Second World War tends to focus on prose as the only expression of literary war experience. With a historicist approach, this thesis advances our understanding of both the Second World War, and our inherited notions of ‘war poetry,’ by parsing its historiography, and investigating the role critical appraisals have played in marginalising this area of poetic response. This thesis examines four poets as case studies in this field of research—W.H. Auden, Louis MacNeice, Dylan Thomas, and Stevie Smith—and evaluates them on both their individual explorations of poetic tone, faith systems, linguistic innovations, subversive performativity, and their collective trajectory towards a commitment to represent the war in their poetry. The findings from this research illustrate how too many critical appraisals have minimised or misrepresented Second World War poetry, and how the poets responded with a self-reflexivity that bespoke a deeper concern with how war is remembered and represented. The significance of these findings is breaking down the notion of objective fact in poetic representations of war, which are ineluctably subjective texts. These findings also offer insight into the ‘failure’ of poetry to represent war as a necessary part of war representation and prompt a rethinking of who has the ‘right’ experience—or simply the right—to talk about war.

description: The big cone of every smooth projective surface $X$ admits the natural decomposition into Zariski chambers. The purpose of this note is to give a simple criterion for the interiors of all Zariski chambers on $X$ to be numerically determined Weyl chambers. Such a criterion generalizes the results of Bauer-Funke on K3 surfaces to arbitrary smooth projective surfaces. In the last section, we study the relation between decompositions of the big cone and elliptic fibrations on Enriques surfaces.

Quantized Transport for a Skyrmion Moving on a Two-Dimensional Periodic Substrate

description: We study the dynamics and velocity-force curves of a skyrmion moving over a two-dimensional periodic substrate using simulations of a particle-based skyrmion model, focusing on the role of the non-dissipative Magnus term. In the overdamped limit, the skyrmion depins into a sliding state with a Hall angle of zero. When a Magnus term is included, the Hall angle is nonzero in the absence of a substrate. On a periodic substrate, the Hall angle varies with the drive amplitude. Due to the substrate symmetry the Hall angle does not change continuously with drive, but forms a series of discrete steps at rational ratios of the skyrmion velocity components perpendicular and parallel to the drive direction, when the skyrmion motion locks to symmetry directions of the substrate for fixed intervals of the drive amplitude. On each step, the Hall angle is constant and the skyrmion motion is orderly. Transitions between locked phases generate pronounced cusps in the velocity-force curves, as well as regions of negative differential mobility. The number of observable locking steps increases when the relative strength of the Magnus term increases. We find an overshoot phenomena where the Hall angle exceeds the clean limit value, as well as an acceleration effect where the skyrmion moves faster over a substrate than through a clean sample. These effects are robust for different types of periodic substrates. With a simple model for a skyrmion interacting with a single pin, we can capture the behavior of the Hall angle. The Magnus term induces a curvature in the skrymion orbit as it moves through the pin, resulting in a side step phenomenon that decreases with increasing drive. When the Magnus term is large, the range of impact parameters that permit the skyrmion to be trapped by the pin is small, which is a reasons that strong Magnus force effects reduce the pinning in skyrmion systems.

description: Depuis quelques années, les maisons d'édition scientifique publiques reçoivent des propositions de publication de textes qui relèvent de nouvelles formes d'écriture de la recherche : fictions documentées, manuscrits de recherche-création, restitutions littéraires d'enquêtes sociologiques, etc. Plusieurs éditeurs ont répondu positivement, non seulement en accueillant ces manuscrits dans leurs collections existantes, mais aussi en leur créant des espaces éditoriaux dédiés. Dans cet article, nous proposons d'aborder ce phénomène à partir de l'expérience des Presses Universitaires de Vincennes, dont l'offre éditoriale a été clairement redéfinie ces derniers mois sous l'effet de ces ouvrages innovants. Nous verrons comment ces nouveaux formats ont pu remettre en cause le circuit éditorial existant (à commencer par l'évaluation des textes), jusqu'à interroger la mission même de l'édition scientifique ou universitaire. Nous montrerons ensuite comment l'intégration de ces formats est en fait parfaitement justifiée du point de vue d'une mission de transmission des connaissances, et correspond même à une conception exigeante d'une science ouverte, en rouvrant les possibilités de rencontre entre le monde de la recherche et la société.

description: We demonstrate levitation and three-dimensionally stable trapping of a wide variety of particles in a vacuum chamber through the use of the thermophoretic force in the presence of a strong temperature gradient. Typical sizes of the trapped particles are between 10 microns and 1 mm at a pressure between 1 and 10 Torr. The trapping stability is provided by the geometry of the temperature field, as well as the transition between the free molecule and hydrodynamic regimes of the thermophoretic force. To quantitatively measure the thermophoretic force, we examine the levitation heights of spherical polyethylene spheres under various experimental conditions and determine the temperature gradient needed to levitate the particles. A good agreement between our experimental observations and theoretical calculations is obtained. Our system offers a new platform to study thermophoretic phenomena and to simulate dynamics of interacting many-body systems in a microgravity environment.
Axially symmetric rotating black hole with regular horizons

description: We consider the metric of an axially symmetric rotating black hole. We do not specify the concrete form of a metric and rely on its behavior near the horizon only. Typically, it is characterized (in the coordinates that generalize the Boyer-Lindquist ones) by two integers $p$ and $q$ that enter asymptotic expansions of the time and radial metric coefficients in the main approximation. For given $p,$ $q$ we find a general form for which the metric is regular, and how the expansions of the metric coefficients look like. We compare two types of requirement: (i) boundedness of curvature invariants, (ii) boundedness of separate components of the curvature tensor in a free falling frame. Analysis is done for nonextremal, extremal and ultraextremal horizons separately.

description: We present a machine-learning approach, based on the genetic algorithms (GA), that can be used to reconstruct the inflationary potential directly from cosmological data. We create a pipeline consisting of the GA, a primordial code and a Boltzmann code used to calculate the theoretical predictions, and Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data. As a proof of concept, we apply our methodology to the Planck CMB data and explore the functional space of single-field inflationary potentials in a non-parametric, yet analytical way. We show that the algorithm easily improves upon the vanilla model of quadratic inflation and proposes slow-roll potentials better suited to the data, while we confirm the robustness of the Starobinsky inflation model (and other small-field models). Moreover, using unbinned CMB data, we perform a first concrete application of the GA by searching for oscillatory features in the potential in an agnostic way, and find very significant improvements upon the best featureless potentials, $Δχ^2 < -20$. These encouraging preliminary results motivate the search for resonant features in the primordial power spectrum with a multimodal distribution of frequencies. We stress that our pipeline is modular and can easily be extended to other CMB data sets and inflationary scenarios, like multifield inflation or theories with higher-order derivatives.

description: Cosmic rays passing through large astrospheres can be efficiently cooled inside these "cavities" in the interstellar medium. Moreover, the energy spectra of these energetic particles are already modulated in front of the astrospherical bow shocks. We study the cosmic ray flux in and around lambda Cephei as an example for an astrosphere. The large-scale plasma flow is modeled hydrodynamically with radiative cooling. We studied the cosmic ray flux in a stellar wind cavity using a transport model based on stochastic differential equations. The required parameters, most importantly, the elements of the diffusion tensor, are based on the heliospheric parameters. The magnetic field required for the diffusion coefficients is calculated kinematically. We discuss the transport in an astrospheric scenario with varying parameters for the transport coefficients. We show that large stellar wind cavities can act as sinks for the galactic cosmic ray flux and thus can give rise to small-scale anisotropies in the direction to the observer. Small-scale cosmic ray anisotropies can naturally be explained by the modulation of cosmic ray spectra in huge stellar wind cavities.
Incest, Cannibalism, Filicide: Elements of the Thyestes Myth in Ovid's Stories of Tereus and Myrrha
Creators: name: Sorscher, Hannah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: This thesis analyzes key stories in Books 6–10 of Ovid’s Metamorphoses through a focus on the pair of stories that bookend the central section of the poem, the narratives of Tereus and Myrrha. These two stories exemplify the mythic types of the family-centered stories in Books 6–10: Tereus’ is a tale of filicide (specifically, filial cannibalism), while Myrrha’s features incest. Ovid links these stories through themes and plot elements that are shared with the tragedy of Thyestes, a paradigmatic tragic myth encompassing both filial cannibalism and incest, otherwise untold in the Metamorphoses. Through allusions to Thyestes’ myth, Ovid binds together the sequence of human dramas in the poem, beginning and ending with the Tereus and Myrrha stories. Furthermore, the poet reinforces and signals the connections between the stories through textual echoes, lexical formulations, and shared narrative elements.

description: Assessing whether a quantum state $\hat ρ$ is nonclassical ($\textit{i.e.}$, incompatible with a mixture of coherent states) is a ubiquitous question in quantum optics, yet a nontrivial experimental task because many nonclassicality witnesses are nonlinear in $\hat ρ$. In particular, if we want to witness or measure the nonclassicality of a state by evaluating its quadrature coherence scale, this $\textit{a priori}$ requires full state tomography. Here, we provide an experimental procedure for directly accessing this quantity with a simple linear interferometer involving two replicas (independent and identical copies) of the state $\hat ρ$ supplemented with photon-number-resolving measurements. This finding, which we interpret as an extension of the Hong-Ou-Mandel effect, illustrates the wide applicability of the multicopy interferometric technique in order to circumvent state tomography in quantum optics.

description: Poly-L-lactide (PLLA) offers a unique possibility for processing into biocom-patible, biodegradable, and implantable piezoelectric structures. With such properties, PLLA has potential to be used as an advanced tool for mimicking biophysical processes that naturally occur during the self-repair of wounds and damaged tissues, including electrostimulated regeneration. The piezo-electricity of PLLA strongly depends on the possibility of controlling its crystallinity and molecular orientation. Here, it is shown that modifying PLLA with a small amount (1 wt%) of crystalline filler particles with a high aspect ratio, which act as nucleating agents during drawing-induced crystallization, promotes the formation of highly crystalline and oriented PLLA structures. This increases their piezoelectricity, and the filler-modified PLLA films provide a 20-fold larger voltage output than nonmodified PLLA during ultrasound (US)-assisted activation. With 99% PLLA content, the ability of the films to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and increase the local temperature during interactions with US is shown to be very low. US-assisted piezostimu-lation of adherent cells directly attach to their surface (such as skin keratino-cytes), stimulate cytoskeleton formation, and as a result cells elongate and orient themselves in a specific direction that align with the direction of PLLA film drawing and PLLA dipole orientation.

description: Abstract: "Recently, we have begun investigating a new robot soccer domain built around the concept of human-robot teams in a 'peer' setting. One of the key challenges for addressing effective human-robot interaction is to robustly identify and track people and robot teammates without requiring undue prior knowledge of their appearance. For cost and complexity reasons, our robots are equipped with monocular color cameras. Thus, we seek an algorithm to enable reliable acquisition and tracking of people and robots from a robot armed with a monocular color camera. We have developed a novel algorithm for acquiring and tracking a single human subject from a dynamically balancing platform, a Segway RMP robot, using a monocular color camera. Our technique uses a combination of known vision and tracking techniques including region growing, motion detection, and mean-shift color-template tracking. In this paper, we describe our approach, and analyze its performance and limitations, for both acquiring and tracking a single human target in an indoor environment. Our experiments demonstrate that acquisition and tracking are feasible with a monocular camera even for a dynamically balancing platform. Moreover, our results show that with current processor technology real-time tracking and robot response are available."

description: Quantum machine learning techniques are commonly considered one of the most promising candidates for demonstrating practical quantum advantage. In particular, quantum kernel methods have been demonstrated to be able to learn certain classically intractable functions efficiently if the kernel is well-aligned with the target function. In the more general case, quantum kernels are known to suffer from exponential "flattening" of the spectrum as the number of qubits grows, preventing generalization and necessitating the control of the inductive bias by hyperparameters. We show that the general-purpose hyperparameter tuning techniques proposed to improve the generalization of quantum kernels lead to the kernel becoming well-approximated by a classical kernel, removing the possibility of quantum advantage. We provide extensive numerical evidence for this phenomenon utilizing multiple previously studied quantum feature maps and both synthetic and real data. Our results show that unless novel techniques are developed to control the inductive bias of quantum kernels, they are unlikely to provide a quantum advantage on classical data.

description: Future computing workloads will emphasize an architecture's ability to perform relatively simple calculations on massive quantities of mixed-width data. This paper describes a novel reconfigurable fabric architecture, PipeRench, optimized to accelerate these types of computations. PipeRench enables fast, robust compilers, supports forward compatibility, and virtualizes configurations, thus removing the fixed size constraint present in other fabrics. For the first time we explore how the bit-width of processing elements affects performance and show how the PipeRench architecture has been optimized to balance the needs of the compiler against the realities of silicon. Finally, we demonstrate extreme performance speedup on certain computing kernels (up to 190x versus a modern RISC processor), and analyze how this acceleration translates to application speedup.

description: The paper introduces a new route towards the ultrafast high laser peak power and energy scaling in a hybrid mid-IR chirped pulse oscillator-amplifier (CPO-CPA) system, without sacrificing neither the pulse duration nor energy. The method is based on using a CPO as a seed source allowing the beneficial implementation of a dissipative soliton (DS) energy scaling approach, coupled with a universal CPA technique. The key is avoiding a destructive nonlinearity in the final stages of an amplifier and compressor elements by using a chirped high-fidelity pulse from CPO. Our main intention is to realize this approach in a Cr2+:ZnS-based CPO as a source of energy-scalable DSs with well-controllable phase characteristics for a single-pass Cr2+:ZnS amplifier. A qualitative comparison of experimental and theoretical results provides a road map for the development and energy scaling of the hybrid CPO-CPA laser systems, without compromising pulse duration. The suggested technique opens up a route towards extremely intense ultra-short pulses and frequency combs from the multi-pass CPO-CPA laser systems that are particularly interesting for real-life applications in the mid-IR spectral range from 1 to 20 um.

description: Strongly correlated electron systems such as the rare-earth nickelates (RNiO3, R = rare-earth element) can exhibit synapse-like continuous long term potentiation and depression when gated with ionic liquids; exploiting the extreme sensitivity of coupled charge, spin, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom to stoichiometry. We present experimental real-time, device-level classical conditioning and unlearning using nickelate-based synaptic devices in an electronic circuit compatible with both excitatory and inhibitory neurons. We establish a physical model for the device behavior based on electric-field driven coupled ionic-electronic diffusion that can be utilized for design of more complex systems. We use the model to simulate a variety of associate and non-associative learning mechanisms, as well as a feedforward recurrent network for storing memory. Our circuit intuitively parallels biological neural architectures, and it can be readily generalized to other forms of cellular learning and extinction. The simulation of neural function with electronic device analogues may provide insight into biological processes such as decision making, learning and adaptation, while facilitating advanced parallel information processing in hardware.

description: With the development of advanced biomedical theragnosis and bioengineering tools, smart and soft responsive microstructures and nanostructures have emerged. These structures can transform their body shape on demand and convert external power into mechanical actions. Here, we survey the key advances in the design of responsive polymer−particle nanocomposites that led to the development of smart shape-morphing microscale robotic devices. We overview the technological roadmap of the field and highlight the emerging opportunities in programming magnetically responsive nanomaterials in polymeric matrixes, as magnetic materials offer a rich spectrum of properties that can be encoded with various magnetization information. The use of magnetic fields as a tether-free control can easily penetrate biological tissues. With the advances in nanotechnology and manufacturing techniques, micro-robotic devices can be realized with the desired magnetic reconfigurability. We emphasize that future fabrication techniques will be the key to bridging the gaps between integrating sophisticated functionalities of nanoscale materials and reducing the complexity and footprints of microscale intelligent robots.

description: Recently, it has been argued that quantum mechanics is a complete theory, and that different quantum states do necessarily correspond to different elements of reality, under the assumptions that quantum mechanics is correct and that measurement settings can be freely chosen. In this work, we prove that this result is a consequence of an unnecessarily strong mathematical expression of the free choice assumption, which embodies more conditions than explicitly stated. The issues of the completeness of quantum mechanics, and of the interpretation of the state vector, are by no means resolved. Taking this perspective, we describe how the recently introduced class of crypto-nonlocal hidden variables theories can be used to characterize the maximal possible departure from quantum mechanics, when the system consists of a pair of qubits.

Most undirected random graphs are amplifiers of selection for Birth-death dynamics, but suppressors of selection for death-Birth dynamics

Subjects: subject: Populations and Evolution (q-bio.PE)

description: We analyze evolutionary dynamics on graphs, where the nodes represent individuals of a population. The links of a node describe which other individuals can be displaced by the offspring of the individual on that node. Amplifiers of selection are graphs for which the fixation probability is increased for advantageous mutants and decreased for disadvantageous mutants. A few examples of such amplifiers have been developed, but so far it is unclear how many such structures exist and how to construct them. Here, we show that almost any undirected random graph is an amplifier of selection for Birth-death updating, where an individual is selected to reproduce with probability proportional to its fitness and one of its neighbors is replaced by that offspring at random. If we instead focus on death-Birth updating, in which a random individual is removed and its neighbors compete for the empty spot, then the same ensemble of graphs consists of almost only suppressors of selection for which the fixation probability is decreased for advantageous mutants and increased for disadvantageous mutants. Thus, the impact of population structure on evolutionary dynamics is a subtle issue that will depend on seemingly minor details of the underlying evolutionary process.

description: We investigate the dynamics of the FLRW flat cosmological models in which the vacuum energy varies with redshift. A particularly well motivated model of this type is the so-called quantum field vacuum, in which both kind of terms $H^{2}$ and constant appear in the effective dark energy density affecting the evolution of the main cosmological functions at the background and perturbation levels. Specifically, it turns out that the functional form of the quantum vacuum endows the vacuum energy of a mild dynamical evolution which could be observed nowadays and appears as dynamical dark energy. Interestingly, the low-energy behaviour is very close to the usual $Λ$CDM model, but it is by no means identical. Finally, within the framework of the quantum field vacuum we generalize the large scale structure properties, namely growth of matter perturbations, cluster number counts and spherical collapse model.

description: The compression of arsenolite (cubic As2O3) has been studied from a joint experimental and theoretical point of view. Experimental X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering measurements of this molecular solid at high pressures with different pressure-transmitting media have been interpreted with the help of ab initio calculations. Our results confirm arsenolite as one of the softest minerals in absence of hydrogen bonding and provide evidence for helium trapping above 3 GPa between adamantane-type As4O6 cages, thus leading to a new compound with stoichiometry He2As4O6. Helium trapping alters all properties of arsenolite. In particular, pressure-induced amorphization, which occurs in pure arsenolite above 15 GPa, is impeded when He is trapped between the As4O6 cages; thus resulting in a mechanical stability of He2As4O6 beyond 30 GPa. Our work paves the way for the modification of the properties of other molecular solids by compression depending on their ability to trap relatively small atomic or molecular species and form new compounds. Furthermore, our work suggests that compression of molecular solids with noble gases as helium could result in unexpected results compared to other pressure-transmitting media.
