description: Graphene supports strongly confined transverse-magnetic sheet plasmons whose spectral characteristics depend on the energetic distribution of Dirac particles. The question arises whether plasmons can become amplified when graphene is pumped into a state of inversion. In establishing a theory for the dynamic non-equilibrium polarizability, we are able to determine the exact complex-frequency plasmon dispersion of photo-inverted graphene and study the impact of doping, collision loss, and temperature on the plasmon gain. We calculate the spontaneous emission spectra and carrier recombination rates self-consistently and compare the results with approximations based on Fermi's golden rule. Our results show that amplification of plasmons is possible under realistic conditions but inevitably competes with ultrafast spontaneous emission, which for intrinsic graphene, is a factor 5 faster than previously estimated. This work casts new light on the nature of non-equilibrium plasmons and may aid the experimental realization of active plasmonic devices based on graphene.

description: Massive, quiescent galaxies at high redshift have been found to be considerably more compact than galaxies of similar mass in the local universe. How these compact galaxies formed has yet to be determined, though several progenitor populations have been proposed. Here we investigate the formation processes and quantify the assembly histories of such galaxies in Illustris, a suite of hydrodynamical cosmological simulations encompassing a sufficiently large volume to include rare objects, while simultaneously resolving the internal structure of galaxies. We select massive (~10^11 solar masses) and compact (stellar half-mass radius < 2 kpc) galaxies from the simulation at z=2. Within the Illustris suite, we find that these quantities are not perfectly converged, but are reasonably reliable for our purposes. The resulting population is composed primarily of quiescent galaxies, but we also find several star-forming compact galaxies. The simulated compact galaxies are similar to observed galaxies in star formation activity and appearance. We follow their evolution at high redshift in the simulation and find that there are multiple pathways to form these compact galaxies, dominated by two mechanisms: (i) intense, centrally concentrated starbursts generally triggered by gas-rich major mergers between z~2-4, reducing the galaxies' half-mass radii by a factor of a few to below 2 kpc, and (ii) assembly at very early times when the universe was much denser; the galaxies formed compact and remained so until z~2.

description: Purpose: To evaluate the presence and length of microcracks in resin-based materials finished with different techniques, using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods: Standardized Class V preparations (3×2×2mm) were made in the facial and lingual surfaces of 20 recently-extracted human third molars. 20 preparations were restored with a resin-based composite material (RBC; Filtek Supreme Ultra) and the other 20 with a resin modified glass-ionomer material (RMGI; Ketac Nano). After final polymerization, specimens were further stratified by finishing system: aluminum oxide discs (Sof-Lex) or spiral fluted carbide bur series (H48L). By random allocation, each extracted tooth therefore received one RBC and one RMGI restoration, and equal numbers of restorations from each material were finished using each finishing system (n= 10). After 24 hours of storage in 100% humidity at room temperature, the specimens were evaluated at ×20 to ×600 under environmental SEM. Cross-sectional occlusal-cervical B-mode images were obtained in increments of 25 mm from the mesial margin to the distal margin of the restoration using a spectral-domain (SD) OCT system and analyzed using Image J software to identify and measure microcrack penetration into each restoration. The total length (mm) at the point of the deepest microcrack penetration in each specimen was recorded. Data were statistically analyzed using a t-test. Results: No microcracks were observed in the RBC samples. However, microcrack presence was identified in all of the RMGI specimens. The t-test showed a statistically significant difference (P< 0.05) in mean microcrack length values based on the finishing technique used for the RMGI samples. [SofLex: 0.67 (Plusmn; 0.28) mm; carbide: 1.26 (Plusmn; 0.30)] mm. Two-way ANOVA showed significant differences in the factors "finishing technique" and "restorative material" (P< 0.001). The interaction of these two factors was also statistically significant (P< 0.001). For the tested RMGI, Tukey post-hoc test revealed that the finishing with aluminum oxide groups resulted in statistically significant lower mean microcrack length when compared to spiral fluted carbide burs (P< 0.001).

description: We report on a design of a compact laser system composed of an extended cavity diode laser with high passive stability and a pre-filter Fabri-Perot cavity. The laser is frequency stabilized relative to the cavity using a serrodyne technique with a correction bandwidth of $\geq 6$ MHz and a dynamic range of $\geq 700$ MHz. The free running laser system has a power spectral density (PSD) $\leq 100$ Hz$^{2}$/Hz centered mainly in the acoustic frequency range. A highly tunable, $0.5-1.3$ GHz copy of the spectrally pure output beam is provided, which can be used for further stabilization of the laser system to an ultra-stable reference. We demonstrate a simple one-channel lock to such a reference that brings down the PSD to the sub-Hz level. The tuning, frequency stabilization and sideband imprinting is achieved by a minimum number of key elements comprising a fibered EOM (electro-optic modulator), AOM (acousto-optic modulator) and a NLTL (non-linear transmission line). The system is easy to operate, scalable, and highly applicable to atomic/molecular experiments demanding high spectral purity, long-term stability, and robustness.

description: WELCOME to the IEEE JOURNAL OF SELECTED TOPICS IN QUANTUM ELECTRONICS (JSTQE) Issue on Biophotonics. Biophotonics is a truly exciting multidisciplinary field as it combines state-of-the-art photonics technologies in quantum electronics, lasers, fiber optics, and electro-optics to the study of life sciences and medicine. Since the invention of the microscope, light has played a crucial role in the discovery of phenomena in all forms of life, from single-celled organisms to humans. The modern field of biophotonics represents a truly broad spectrum of research spanning from basic science studies in botany and zoology, to biomedicine and clinical technologies. Yet, all of these research themes have in common the use of photons on living cells and organisms, which leads to insights being shared and used to inspire new directions across the spectrum of applications. In the biomedical domain, biophotonics approaches often initiate at the “bench,” where promising technologies eventually lead to clinically relevant “bedside” diagnostics and therapeutics. Because of the low cost associated with biomedical technologies, and increasing use of integrated photonics in mobile technologies, this field is rapidly transforming our approach to health care by providing increasingly rapid, accurate, point-of-care, and cost-efficient diagnostics and surgical guidance techniques.

description: By using ICT, there has been a dramatic change in the world of e-learning and learning resource materials. Through the OAI-PMH, the records data about information sources allows an initial assessment of compatibility. It provides an avenue for merging information or for exchanging information between systems. Integration of Indian ETDs based on metadata has received wide attention for better management and utilization. This study explores the current state of metadata harvesting of Shodhganga or Indian ETD repository to NDL platform. One of the fundamental aims of NDL (National Digital Library of India) is to share the e-resources of multiple academic institutions and other resources across a common platform. One of the major objectives realized through this activity include increased visibility and enhanced discoverability of resources. Based on the variation in contents, metadata schema in NDL platform has been categorized into three basic classes, they are Generic Metadata, Educational Metadata and Thesis Metadata. Thesis Metadata fields like researcher, advisor, degree, etc. This Thesis Metadata standard has been used Qualified DC to harvesting the national ETDs to NDL repository. Some popular metadata schema of national and global ETDs repositories, such as ETD-MS (NDLTD) and UK-ETD (EThOS) also compared in the paper.
Thermal vector potential theory of transport induced by temperature gradient

description: A microscopic formalism to calculate thermal transport coefficients is presented based on a thermal vector potential, whose time-derivative is related to a thermal force. The formalism is free from unphysical divergences reported to arise when Luttinger's formalism is applied naively, because the equilibrium (\textquoteleft diamagnetic\textquoteright) currents are treated consistently. The mathematical structure for thermal transport coefficients are shown to be identical with the electric ones if the electric charge is replaced by energy. The results indicates that the thermal vector potential couples to energy current via the minimal coupling.

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Plant defensins are an extensive family of small cysteine rich proteins characterised by a conserved cysteine stabilised alpha beta protein fold which resembles the structure of insect and vertebrate defensins. However, secondary structure and disulphide topology indicates two independent superfamilies of defensins with similar structures that have arisen via an extreme case of convergent evolution. Defensins from plants and insects belong to the cis-defensin superfamily whereas mammalian defensins belong to the trans-defensin superfamily. Plant defensins are produced by all species of plants and although the structure is highly conserved, the amino acid sequences are highly variable with the exception of the cysteine residues that form the stabilising disulphide bonds and a few other conserved residues. The majority of plant defensins are components of the plant innate immune system but others have evolved additional functions ranging from roles in sexual reproduction and development to metal tolerance. This review focuses on the antifungal mechanisms of plant defensins. The activity of plant defensins is not limited to plant pathogens and many of the described mechanisms have been elucidated using yeast models. These mechanisms are more complex than simple membrane permeabilisation induced by many small antimicrobial peptides. Common themes that run through the characterised mechanisms are interactions with specific lipids, production of reactive oxygen species and induction of cell wall stress. Links between sequence motifs and functions are highlighted where appropriate. The complexity of the interactions between plant defensins and fungi helps explain why this protein superfamily is ubiquitous in plant innate immunity.
Elastography of soft materials and tissues by holographic imaging of surface acoustic waves

Publisher: name: Optical Society of American (OSA)
Year: 2012

description: We use optical interferometry to capture coherent surface acoustic waves for elastographic imaging. An inverse method is employed to convert multi-frequency data into an elastic depth profile. Using this methodwe image elastic properties over a 55 mm range with <5 mm resolution. For relevance to breast cancer detectionwe employ a tissue phantom with a tumor-like inclusion. Holographic elastography is also shown to be well-behaved in ex vivo tissuerevealing the subsurface position of a bone. Because digital holography can assess waves over a wide surface areathis constitutes a flexible new platform for large volume and non-invasive elastography.

Our method lets us obtain rigorous and explicit upper and lower bounds on the percolation threshold $p_\mathrm{c}$, and thus show in particular that $0.5511\leq p_\mathrm{c}\leq 0.5581$. The method can be extended to site percolation on other half-planar maps with the domain Markov property.

description: A search is presented for physics beyond the standard model in final states with two opposite-sign same-flavor leptons, jets, and missing transverse momentum. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.4 inverse femtobarns of proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in 2012. The analysis focuses on searches for a kinematic edge in the invariant mass distribution of the opposite-sign same-flavor lepton pair and for final states with an on-shell Z boson. The observations are consistent with expectations from standard model processes and are interpreted in terms of upper limits on the production of supersymmetric particles.

description: We derive the consistency relations for a chaotic inflation model with a non-minimal coupling to gravity. For a quadratic potential in the limit of a small non-minimal coupling parameter $ξ$ and for a quartic potential without assuming small $ξ$, we give the consistency relations among the spectral index $n_s$, the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ and the running of the spectral index $α$. We find that unlike $r$, $α$ is less sensitive to $ξ$. If $r<0.1$, then $ξ$ is constrained to $ξ<0$ and $α$ is predicted to be $α\simeq -8\times 10^{-4}$ for a quartic potential. For a general monomial potential, $α$ is constrained in the range $-2.7\times 10^{-3}

description: Measuring the elasticity distribution inside the human body is of great interest because elastic abnormalities can serve as indicators of several diseases. We present a method for mapping elasticity inside soft tissues by imaging surface acoustic waves (SAWs) with digital holographic interferometry. With this method, we show that SAWs are consistent with Rayleigh waves, with velocities proportional to the square root of the elastic modulus greater than 2-40 kPa in homogeneous tissue phantoms. In two-layer phantoms, the SAW velocity transitions approximately from that of the lower layer to that of the upper layer as frequency is increased in agreement with the theoretical relationship between SAW dispersion and the depth-dependent stiffness profile. We also observed deformation in the propagation direction of SAWs above a stiff inclusion placed 8 mm below the surface. These findings demonstrate the potential for quantitative digital holography-based elastography of soft tissues as a noninvasive method for disease detection.

At $T_{MI} \sim$ 340 K, pure VO$_{2}$ exhibits a clear first-order phase transition from a high-temperature paramagnetic tetragonal phase (R) to a low-temperature non-magnetic monoclinic phase (M1). With Ti doping, another monoclinic phase (M2) emerges between the R and M1 phases. The phase transition temperature between R and M2 increases with increasing Ti doping while the transition temperature between M2 and M1 decreases.

description: In this paper we investigate the physical spectrum of the gravitational theory based on the Poincaré group with terms which are at most quadratic in tetrad and spin connection, allowing for the presence of parity-even as well as parity-odd invariants. We determine restrictions on the parameters of the action so that all degrees of freedom propagate and are neither ghosts nor tachyons. We show that the addition of parity non-conserving invariants extends the healthy parameter space of the theory. To accomplish our goal, we apply the weak field approximation around flat spacetime and in order to facilitate the analysis, we separate the bilinear action for the excitations into completely independent spin sectors. For this purpose, we employ the spin-projection operator formalism and extend the original basis built previously, to be able to handle the parity-odd pieces.

The most significant advances in asteroid photometry in the past decade were driven by spacecraft observations that collected spatially resolved imaging and spectroscopy data. In the mean time, laboratory measurements and theoretical developments are revealing controversies regarding the physical interpretations of models and model parameter values. We will review the new developments in asteroid photometry that have occurred over the past decade in the three complementary areas of observations, laboratory work, and theory. Finally we will summarize and discuss the implications of recent findings.

description: We show a generic formation of the primary magnetorotons in the collective modes of the observed "unconventional" fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) states of the composite fermions at the filling factors 4/11, 4/13, 5/13, 5/17, and 3/8 at very low wavevectors with {\em anomalously} low energies which do not have any analogue to the conventional fractional quantum Hall states. Rather slow decay of the oscillations of the pair-correlation functions in these states are responsible for the low-energy magnetorotons. This is a manifestation of the distinct topology predicted before for these FQHE states. Experimental consequences of our theory are also discussed.

description: In this study, we report the fabrication of engineered iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) functionalized with anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2) antibody to target the tumor antigen HER2. The Fc-directed conjugation of antibodies to the MNPs aids their efficient immunospecific targeting through free Fab portions. The directional specificity of conjugation was verified on a macrophage cell line. Immunofluorescence studies on macrophages treated with functionalized MNPs and free anti-HER2 antibody revealed that the antibody molecules bind to the MNPs predominantly through their Fc portion. Different cell lines with different HER2 expression levels were used to test the specificity of our functionalized nanoprobe for molecular targeting applications. The results of cell line targeting demonstrate that these engineered MNPs are able to differentiate between cell lines with different levels of HER2 expression.

description: The availability of a real-time non-destructive modality to interrogate the mechanical properties of viscoelastic materials would facilitate many new investigations. We introduce a new optical method for measuring elastic properties of samples which employs magnetite nanoparticles as perturbative agents. Magnetic nanoparticles distributed in silicone-based samples are displaced upon probing with a small external magnetic field gradient and depth-resolved optical coherence phase shifts allow for the tracking of scatterers in the sample with nanometer-scale sensitivity. The scatterers undergo underdamped oscillations when the magnetic field is applied step-wise, allowing for the measurement of the natural frequencies of oscillation of the samples. Validation of the measurements is accomplished using a commercial indentation apparatus to determine the elastic moduli of the samples. This real-time non-destructive technique constitutes a novel way of probing the natural frequencies of viscoelastic materials in which magnetic nanoparticles can be introduced.

description: Next-generation WLANs will support the use of wider channels, which is known as channel bonding, to achieve higher throughput. However, because both the channel center frequency and the channel width are autonomously selected by each WLAN, the use of wider channels may also increase the competition with other WLANs operating in the same area for the limited available spectrum, thus causing the opposite effect. In this paper, we analyse the interactions between a group of neighboring WLANs that use channel bonding and evaluate the impact of those interactions on the achievable throughput. A Continuous Time Markov Network (CTMN) model that is able to capture the coupled operation of a group of overlapping WLANs is introduced and validated. The results show that the use of channel bonding can provide significant performance gains even in scenarios with high densities of WLANs, though it may also cause unfair situations in which some WLANs cannot access the channel, while others receive most of the transmission opportunities.

description: We discuss how to consistently use Effective Field Theories (EFTs) to set universal bounds on heavy-mediator Dark Matter at colliders, without prejudice on the model underlying a given effective interaction. We illustrate the method for a Majorana fermion, universally coupled to the Standard Model quarks via a dimension-6 axial-axial four-fermion operator. We recast the ATLAS mono-jet analysis and show that a considerable fraction of the parameter space, seemingly excluded by a naïve EFT interpretation, is actually still unexplored. Consistently set EFT limits can be reinterpreted in any specific underlying model. We provide two explicit examples for the chosen operator and compare the reach of our model-independent method with that obtainable by dedicated analyses.

description: We present the exact solution of the (0+1)-dimensional Boltzmann equation for massive Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac gases. For the initial conditions used typically in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, we find that the effects of quantum statistics are very small for thermodynamics-like functions such as the effective temperature, energy density or transverse and longitudinal pressures. Similarly, the inclusion of quantum statistics affects very little the shear viscosity. On the other hand, the quantum statistics becomes important for description of the phenomena connected with the bulk viscosity.

description: We systematically compare an event-by-event heavy-ion collision model to data from the Large Hadron Collider. Using a general Bayesian method, we probe multiple model parameters including fundamental quark-gluon plasma properties such as the specific shear viscosity $η/s$, calibrate the model to optimally reproduce experimental data, and extract quantitative constraints for all parameters simultaneously. The method is universal and easily extensible to other data and collision models.

Dissipation, Energy Transfer, and Spindown Luminosity in 2.5D PIC Simulations of the Pulsar Magnetosphere

description: We perform 2.5D axisymmetric simulations of the pulsar magnetosphere (aligned dipole rotator) using the charge conservative, relativistic, electromagnetic particle in cell code PICsar. Particle in cell codes are a powerful tool to use for studying the pulsar magnetosphere, because they can handle the force-free and vacuum limits and provide a self-consistent treatment of magnetic reconnection. In the limit of dense plasma throughout the magnetosphere, our solutions are everywhere in the force-free regime except for dissipative regions at the polar caps, in the current layers, and at the Y-point. These dissipative regions arise self-consistently, since we do not have any explicit dissipation in the code. A minimum of $ \approx 15-20\%$ of the electromagnetic spindown luminosity is transferred to the particles inside 5 light cylinder radii. However, the particles can carry as much as $\gtrsim 50 \%$ of the spindown luminosity if there is insufficient plasma in the outer magnetosphere to screen the component of electric field parallel to the magnetic field. In reality, the component of the spindown luminosity carried by the particles could be radiated as gamma rays, but high-frequency synchrotron emission would need to be implemented as a sub-grid process in our simulations and is not present for the current suite of runs. The value of the spindown luminosity in our simulations is within $\approx 10\%$ of the force-free value, and the structure of the electromagnetic fields in the magnetosphere is on the whole consistent with the force-free model.

description: We investigated the developmental time course of molecular expression of αvβ3 subunits in a carcinogen-induced rat mammary tumor model for human ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Tumors during various stages of growth (from <0.1 to >2.0 cm) were analyzed immunohistochemically for the expression of the αvβ3 integrin and its subunits. In general, the expression profiles of these integrin subunits were directly proportional to the size of the tumor. The pattern of immunostaining revealed that anti-αvβ3 monoclonal antibody binds to specific sites of tumor sections, forming isolated stained patches. This isolated patch pattern was found in more developed larger tumors. This could be due to the fact that the integrin molecule might be involved in migration and nesting of tumor cells into specific regions to form DCIS or intraductal carcinoma. Results also showed that the αv subunit expresses earlier than the β3 subunit. These data provide insight into tumor cell biology and developmental characteristics that will guide the future construction and use of targeted contrast and therapeutic agents capable of tracking, imaging, or treating a tumor at the earliest stage of formation.

description: RESUMEN En los años 60s, Per- Ingvar Branemark determinó que la oseointegración es el crecimiento óseo en contacto directo con un implante, por lo que es ahora considerado el padre de la implantología dental. Este es un proceso impulsado por el sistema inmunológico y depende del balance osteoinmunológico. La osteoinmunología se refiere a la disciplina que se encarga de estudiar la relación que existe entre la biología ósea y el sistema inmunológico. Dicha relación es vital para la oseointegración dental ya que se ha demostrado que, por parte del sistema inmune innato, la inflamación es esencial para la formación de hueso y capacidad regenerativa ósea, la cual requiere de un balance entre los fenotipos M1 y M2 de los macrófagos. Sin dicho balance existiría osteólisis y habría pérdida de implantes. Asimismo, los osteo-macrófagos son vitales en la oseointegración ya que participan en la homeóstasis ósea, promueven la diferenciación de osteoblastos y la mineralización de la matriz ósea, con lo que contribuyen a la reparación ósea. Por otra parte, el sistema inmune adaptativo también desempeña una función clave en dicho proceso ya que la baja secreción de citocinas proinflamatorias por parte de las células CD8+ T estimulan la formación de hueso nuevo por medio de células madre mesenquimales. Por consiguiente, los fracasos en implantes dentales se han visto asociados a procesos inmunológicos, por lo que es importante mejorar la respuesta inmune pro regenerativa para poder optimizar la oseointegración en los implantes dentales [1-3].

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate mechanical and biodegradation properties of bioplastic from pure cornstarch (with no additional reinforcing components). The following fabrication procedure was done: (1) diluting cornstarch in water, (2) making homogeneous mixture of the diluted cornstarch, glycerol, and acetic acid by heating at less than 100ºC, (3) molding process, and (4) drying process to get a solid bioplastic. The present bioplastic had good biodegradability properties, degraded easily within 2-week soaking in water, confirmed by the weight loss and appearance of fungi on its surface. Good mechanical performance was obtained although it is still low compared to the standard bioplastic in moderate grade. Indeed, additional reinforcing components (e.g., co-polymer or additive) is required for improving the mechanical properties.

description: Plasmon-resonant gold nanorods (GNRs) can serve as imaging agents for spectroscopic optical coherence tomography (SOCT). The aspect ratio of the GNRs is adjusted for maximum absorption in the far red to create a partial spectral overlap with the short-wavelength edge of the near-infrared SOCT imaging band. The spectroscopic absorption profile of the GNRs is incorporated into a depth-resolved algorithm for mapping the relative GNR density within OCT images. This technique enables us to image GNR distributions in excised human breast carcinomas, demonstrating their potential as OCT contrast agents in heterogeneous, highly scattering tissues.

description: We use an exact transfer-matrix approach to compute the equilibrium properties of a system of hard disks of diameter $σ$ confined to a two-dimensional channel of width $1.95\,σ$ at constant longitudinal applied force. At this channel width, which is sufficient for next-nearest-neighbor disks to interact, the system is known to have a great many jammed states. Our calculations show that the longitudinal force (pressure) extrapolates to infinity at a well-defined packing fraction $ϕ_K$ that is less than the maximum possible $ϕ_{\rm max}$, the latter corresponding to a buckled crystal. In this quasi-one-dimensional problem there is no question of there being any \emph{real} divergence of the pressure at $ϕ_K$. We give arguments that this avoided phase transition is a structural feature -- the remnant in our narrow channel system of the hexatic to crystal transition -- but that it has the phenomenology of the (avoided) ideal glass transition. We identify a length scale $\tildeξ_3$ as our equivalent of the penetration length for amorphous order: In the channel system, it reaches a maximum value of around $15\,σ$ at $ϕ_K$, which is larger than the penetration lengths that have been reported for three dimensional systems. It is argued that the $α$-relaxation time would appear on extrapolation to diverge in a Vogel-Fulcher manner as the packing fraction approaches $ϕ_K$.
