Subjects: subject: Cryptography and Security (cs.CR)

description: In this demonstration, we put ourselves in the place of a website manager who seeks to use browser fingerprinting for web authentication. The first step is to choose the attributes to implement among the hundreds that are available. To do so, we developed BrFAST, an attribute selection platform that includes FPSelect, an algorithm that rigorously selects the attributes according to a trade-off between security and usability. BrFAST is configured with a set of parameters for which we provide values for BrFAST to be usable as is. We notably include the resources to use two publicly available browser fingerprint datasets. BrFAST can be extended to use other parameters: other attribute selection methods, other measures of security and usability, or other fingerprint datasets. BrFAST helps visualize the exploration of the possibilities during the search of the best attributes to use, compare the properties of attribute sets, and compare several attribute selection methods. During the demonstration, we compare the attributes selected by FPSelect with these selected by the usual methods according to the properties of the resulting browser fingerprints (e.g., their usability, their unicity).

description: The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and Virgo Collaboration (LVC) have recently reported in GWTC-2.1 eight additional candidate events with a probability of astrophysical origin greater than 0.5 in the LVC deeper search on O3a running. In GWTC-2.1, the majority of the effective inspiral spins ($χ_{\rm eff}$) show magnitudes consistent with zero, while two (GW190403$_{-}$051519 and GW190805$_{-}$211137) of the eight new events have $χ_{\rm eff}$ $> 0$ (at 90% credibility). We note that GW190403$_{-}$051519 was reported with $χ_{\rm eff}$ = $0.70^{+0.15}_{-0.27}$ and mass ratio $q$ = $0.25^{+0.54}_{-0.11}$, respectively. Assuming a uniform prior probability between 0 and 1 for each black hole's dimensionless spin magnitude, GW190403$_{-}$051519 was reported with the dimensionless spin of the more massive black hole, $χ_1$ = $0.92^{+0.07}_{-0.22}$. This is the fastest first-born black hole ever measured in all current gravitational-wave events. If GW190403$_{-}$051519 is formed through isolated binary evolution channel, this extremely high spin challenges, at least in that case, the existence of efficient angular momentum transport mechanism between the stellar core and the radiative envelope of massive stars, as for instance predicted by the Tayler-Spruit dynamo (Spruit 2002) or its revised version by Fuller et al. 2019.

description: This deliverable reports on the initial user research conducted for the TRIPLE project. The main output of the research conducted for this deliverable is the production of Personas and Scenarios for the TRIPLE platform. Eight Personas (6 for SSH researchers and 2 for other stakeholders) are presented each with an associated Scenario. Personas are archetypes of users based on empirical research with end-users. Scenarios are narrative of the personas using a novel product, in this case the TRIPLE platform. The project’s Personas and Scenarios are based on qualitative interviews conducted with 26 SSH researchers and 11 other stakeholders across Europe, during the period December 2019 - March 2020. The interviews were analysed using Thematic Analysis in order to identify common patterns across all the interviews. These patterns constituted the basis for the creation of the Personas and Scenarios. From each of the Scenarios created we have then obtained a list of end-user needs/requirements which will support the consequent design of the platform’s end-user interface and will constitute the basis for the subsequent co-design activities. The user needs have also been grouped in emerging functionalities. This output will be considered in the following months by the project partners in order to identify which user needs should be prioritised and go into production and which needs are out of the project’s scope.

description: As machine learning and data science applications grow ever more prevalent, there is an increased focus on data sharing and open data initiatives, particularly in the context of the African continent. Many argue that data sharing can support research and policy design to alleviate poverty, inequality, and derivative effects in Africa. Despite the fact that the datasets in question are often extracted from African communities, conversations around the challenges of accessing and sharing African data are too often driven by nonAfrican stakeholders. These perspectives frequently employ a deficit narratives, often focusing on lack of education, training, and technological resources in the continent as the leading causes of friction in the data ecosystem. We argue that these narratives obfuscate and distort the full complexity of the African data sharing landscape. In particular, we use storytelling via fictional personas built from a series of interviews with African data experts to complicate dominant narratives and to provide counternarratives. Coupling these personas with research on data practices within the continent, we identify recurring barriers to data sharing as well as inequities in the distribution of data sharing benefits. In particular, we discuss issues arising from power imbalances resulting from the legacies of colonialism, ethno-centrism, and slavery, disinvestment in building trust, lack of acknowledgement of historical and present-day extractive practices, and Western-centric policies that are ill-suited to the African context. After outlining these problems, we discuss avenues for addressing them when sharing data generated in the continent.
Gravitation as a Casimir interaction

description: Gravitation is considered to be one of the four fundamental interactions in nature. However, one has so far failed to observe the graviton, the quantum particle that is believed to transmit the gravitational force at a distance - the analogue to the photon in electromagnetism. Maybe it is now time to re-evaluate the status of the gravitation as a fundamental interaction. Here, we propose a completely new interpretation of gravitation. In this description the gravitational force is no longer a fundamental force. It is an induced force, a dispersion force, and the analogue to the Casimir force in electromagnetism. The fundamental force is in our description a force between particles with a parabolic interaction potential. In our model the nucleons are made up from these particles. We find the retarded dispersion force between these composite particles has the correct distance dependence, 1/r. If this interpretation is correct it has a broad range of implications. Our view on the fundamental concept mass is altered; our view on the expansion of the Universe may change.

description: The advent of the metropolis in 18th century Europe engendered a progressive process of aestheticization of the existence that radically altered the status of the image and the imaginary in our societies. Begun with the invention of Kitsch, Art Nouveau and mass media, radicalized by means of twentieth century artistic avant-garde and then by the counter-cultures, nourished by pop art, celebrated by television, it now seems to take place in the plots of digital life: among stories, reels, snaps and memes, or where the masses of the past are transformed simultaneously into art, artist, spectacle, information and object of consumption. Thus, while we witness the emancipation of the public Nietzsche, Benjamim and McLuhan dreamed of, we also see its definitive and voluntary alienation. A partire dall’avvento delle metropoli nell’Europa del XVIII secolo, è stato avviato un progressivo processo di estetizzazione dell’esistenza che ha radicalmente modificato lo statuto dell’immagine e dell’immaginario nelle nostre società. Iniziato con l’invenzione del Kitsch, dell’Art nouveau e dei media di massa, radicalizzato per mezzo delle avanguardie artistiche e poi dalle contro-culture del Novecento, nutrito dalla pop art, celebrato dalla televisione, esso sembra oggi compiersi nelle trame della vita digitale, tra stories, reels, snap e meme, ovvero laddove le masse di una volta si trasformano contemporaneamente in arte, artista, spettacolo, informazione e oggetto di consumo. Così, mentre assistiamo all’emancipazione del pubblico sognata da Nietzsche, Benjamim e McLuhan, constatiamo altresì la sua definitiva e volontaria alienazione.

description: We analyze ground-state behaviors of fidelity susceptibility (FS) and show that the FS has its own distinct dimension instead of real system's dimension in general quantum phases. The scaling relation of the FS in quantum phase transitions (QPTs) is then established on more general grounds. Depending on whether the FS's dimensions of two neighboring quantum phases are the same or not, we are able to classify QPTs into two distinct types. For the latter type, the change in the FS's dimension is a characteristic that separates two phases. As a non-trivial application to the Kitaev honeycomb model, we find that the FS is proportional to $L^2\ln L$ in the gapless phase, while $L^2$ in the gapped phase. Therefore, the extra dimension of $\ln L$ can be used as a characteristic of the gapless phase.

description: Quantum vortices are the analogue of classical vortices in optics, Bose-Einstein condensates, superfluids and superconductors, where they provide the elementary mode of rotation and orbital angular momentum. While they mediate important pair interactions and phase transitions in nonlinear fluids, their linear dynamics is useful for the shaping of complex light, as well as for topological entities in multi-component systems, such as full Bloch beams. Here, setting a quantum vortex into directional motion in an open-dissipative fluid of microcavity polaritons, we observe the self-splitting of the packet, leading to the trembling movement of its center of mass, whereas the vortex core undergoes ultrafast spiraling along diverging and converging circles, in a sub-picosecond precessing fashion. This singular dynamics is accompanied by vortex-antivortex pairs creation and annihilation, and a periodically changing topological charge. The spiraling and branching mechanics represent a direct manifestation of the underlying Bloch pseudospin space, whose mapping is shown to be rotating and splitting itself. Its reshaping is due to three simultaneous drives along the distinct directions of momentum and complex frequency, by means of the differential group velocities, Rabi frequency and dissipation rates, which are natural assets in coupled fields such as polaritons. This state, displaying linear momentum dressed with oscillating angular momentum, confirms the richness of multi-component and open quantum fluids and their innate potentiality to implement sophisticated and dynamical topological textures of light.

The measured $Q_t$ moments indicate that the deformation of these bands is larger than that of the yrast, signature partners. However, the measured values are smaller than those predicted by theory. This observation appears to be valid for TSD bands in several nuclei of the region

description: The Bose-Einstein condensation and the liquid-gas first order phase transition are studied in the interacting pion matter. Two phenomenological models are used: the mean-field model and the hybrid model. Free model parameters are fixed by fitting the lattice QCD data on the pion Bose condensate density at zero temperature. In spite of some minor differences the two model demonstrate an identical qualitative and very close quantitative behavior for the thermodynamic functions and electric charge fluctuations. A peculiar property of the considered models is an intersection of the Bose-Einstein condensation line and the line of the first order phase transition at the critical end point.

description: The Santos Basin comprises the most voluminous hydrocarbon accumulations in its ‘Pre-salt’ reservoirs. Magmatic rocks have been recorded in the basin mostly by the tholeiitic basalts (Camboriú Formation) within its rift megasequence at Hauterivian time. Recent studies have shown that magmatic rocks are also found interbedded with Aptian sedimentary rocks in the basin, related to its post-rift (mostly Aptian) megasequence. This paper presents petrological data obtained from sidewall core samples of magmatic rocks interbedded with Early Aptian coquina in a well drilled in the Santos Basin. The well comprises six magmatic sections of alkaline basalts being overlain and underlain by the Barra Velha limestones. The basalts are mostly plagioclase-phyric, amygdaloidal rocks but vary in texture and modal compositions. Magmatic compositions seem to have been slightly affected by alteration processes. Basalts comprise an alkaline, miaskitic series with relatively evolved compositions (MgO = 5.55 ± 1.50 wt%; Ni < 220 ppm; Cr < 400 ppm). The patterns in the Primitive Mantle normalized multielement diagram displays the typical Nb peak (0.3 < La/Nb(N)<0.7) of the OIB. Geochemical modelling showed that basalts within five magmatic sections are not cogenetic by differentiation, representing basaltic flows emitted from different vents. Modal batch partial melting model indicates that it is possible, although unlikely, to generate the differences in La/Yb(N) and Zr/Y ratios of the least evolved samples in the studied well by different partial melting degrees (0.5–11%) from the same mantle source. Binary mixing models using lithogeochemical datapoint to a role for the Tristan da Cunha plume tail in the petrogenesis of the alkaline basalts with no clear evidence for a possible role for the local subcontinental lithospheric mantle. The results of the petrogenetic models are consistent with a shallow MOHO and a high-temperature mantle below part of the Santos Basin in Early Aptian time.

description: Starting from gravity in asymptotically flat spacetime, the BMS momentum fluxes are constructed. These are non-local expressions of the solution space living on the celestial Riemann surface. They transform in the coadjoint representation of the extended BMS group and correspond to Virasoro primaries under the action of bulk superrotations. The relation between the BMS momentum fluxes and celestial CFT operators is then established: the supermomentum flux is related to the supertranslation operator and the super angular momentum flux is linked to the stress-energy tensor of the celestial CFT. The transformation under the action of asymptotic symmetries and the OPEs of the celestial CFT currents are deduced from the BMS flux algebra.

description: We investigate the problem of finding confidence sets for split points in decision trees (CART). Our main results establish the asymptotic distribution of the least squares estimators and some associated residual sum of squares statistics in a binary decision tree approximation to a smooth regression curve. Cube-root asymptotics with nonnormal limit distributions are involved. We study various confidence sets for the split point, one calibrated using the subsampling bootstrap, and others calibrated using plug-in estimates of some nuisance parameters. The performance of the confidence sets is assessed in a simulation study. A motivation for developing such confidence sets comes from the problem of phosphorus pollution in the Everglades. Ecologists have suggested that split points provide a phosphorus threshold at which biological imbalance occurs, and the lower endpoint of the confidence set may be interpreted as a level that is protective of the ecosystem. This is illustrated using data from a Duke University Wetlands Center phosphorus dosing study in the Everglades.

description: Revenge Porn, and its closely-related Cancel Culture, are aesthetic and political, psychological and delinquent phenomena, whose traits are still poorly defined, not only on a legal level. This essay tries to address Revenge Porn particularly by reading it in the light of a certain philosophical tradition (Foucault, Barthes, Baudrillard, Hegel, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein and others). This philosophical tradition can help further multiply the contradictions in which the phenomenon manifests itself, in all its cruel reality often made of the flesh (Merleau-Ponty) of the other, the victim of the Revenge Porn, reduced to her image shared without consent. Il fenomeno del Revenge Porn e la Cancel Culture ad esso strettamente connessa, sono fenomeni estetici e politici, psicologici e delinquenziali, che hanno tratti ancora poco definiti, non solo a livello giuridico. Il saggio che qui presentiamo cerca di affrontare in particolare il Revenge Porn leggendolo alla luce di una certa tradizione filosofica (Foucault, Barthes, Baudrillard, Hegel, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein e altri). Questa tradizione filosofica può aiutare a moltiplicare ulteriormente le contraddizioni, nel cui spettro il fenomeno si manifesta in tutta la sua crudele realtà, spesso fatta della carne (Merleau-Ponty) dell'altro, la vittima del Revenge Porn, ridotta alla sua immagine condivisa senza il suo consenso.

description: Sustainability is focussed on avoiding the long-term depletion of natural resources. Under the terms of a government plan to tackle climate change, a driver for improved sustainability is the cut of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK to almost zero by 2050. With this type of change, new themes are continuously being developed which drive complex projects, such as the development of new power generation methods, which encompass challenging lead times and demanding requirements. Consideration of the implementation of strategies and key concepts, which may engender sustainability within complex projects therefore presents an opportunity for further critical debate, review, and application through a project management lens. Sustainability incorporation in project management has been documented in academic literature, with this emerging field providing new challenges. For example, project management education can provide a holistic base for the inculcation of sustainability factors to a range of industries, including complex projects. Likewise, practitioner interest and approaches to sustainability in project management are being driven by the recently Chartered Association for Project Management (APM). Whilst this body makes a significant contribution to the UK economy across many sectors, it also addresses ongoing sustainability challenges. Therefore, by drawing on research and practitioner developments, the authors argue that by connecting with the next generation through practice simulation approaches, and embedding sustainability issues within project management tools and methods, improved focus on sustainability in complex project management may be achieved.

description: Actual sociology of deviance outlines moral pluralism or even fragmentation which characterize the social moral order. The paper assumes that social reality can be mirrored in media products, influencing their cultural trends, due to the fact that in the consumer society the product should maintain its appeal to the public. The actual moral ambiguity of social order has been thus resembled in crime fiction. The analysis clearly shows a transformation through a historical confrontation of serial killer mediatized representations, comparing Hitchcock’s Norman Bates in Psycho, and the character of Dexter from the homonymous tv show. The paper outlines a passage from the ‘monsterification’ of the former’s psychopathy to the humanization of the latter’s homicidal inhumanity.

description: Nonequilibrium, ``fast switching'' estimates of equilibrium free energy differences, Delta F, are often plagued by poor convergence due to dissipation. We propose a method to improve these estimates by generating trajectories with reduced dissipation. Introducing an artificial flow field that couples the system coordinates to the external parameter driving the simulation, we derive an identity for Delta F in terms of the resulting trajectories. When the flow field effectively escorts the system along a near-equilibrium path, the free energy estimate converges efficiently and accurately. We illustrate our method on a model system, and discuss the general applicability of our approach.

TRIPLE
exploitation and dissemination

description: The “Plan for Exploitation and Dissemination of Results (PEDR) Draft” outlines the first version of a strategy for the TRIPLE project’s dissemination and exploitation. It is the result of the complementary work done in work package 7 (Innovation, Exploitation and Sustainability) and work package 8 (Communication and Dissemination). The main objectives of the PEDR are:
 ● To build public awareness of the project
 ● To lay down the foundations for effective communication of the project’s concept and potential benefits to interested stakeholders
 ● To communicate research findings to stimulate ongoing interest in the work of the project
 ● To build the foundations of an effective partnership model
 ● To identify the issues which are most important to the consortium
 ● To maximise exploitation opportunities of the project throughout and beyond its develop-ment.
 The PEDR is a living document. Its structure mainly follows the template suggested in the TRIPLE Grant Agreement (proposal part). It will be updated during the project implementation and tailored to the project’s needs and progress on demand. The PEDR is closely linked to the following other deliverables:
 ● D1.3 “Data Management Plan DRAFT” (work package [WP]1)–31 March 2020
 ● D3.1 “Report on User Needs” (WP3)–31 May 2020
 ● D7.1 “Report on Stakeholder and Opportunity Analysis” (WP7)–30 April 2020
 ● D7.2 “Intermediate Report on Exploitation and Sustainability Strategy” (WP7)–30 Sept. 2020
 ● D8.3 “Communication Strategy” (WP8)–31 July 2020
 The current document is a first draft of the PEDR; the final version is due at the end of the project (D8.4). D8.4 will be a combination mainly of D8.6, D8.3, D7.2 and any other reports which will continually provide new inputs until the end of the project.
 Section 1 of the PEDR Draft outlines some key information about the TRIPLE Project (i.e. key messages to communicate, as identified in the deliverable D8.3 “Communication Strategy”), which is relevant to contextualise the results. Sections 2 and 3 reflect our ideas for a first version of a Plan for the Dissemination of Results and for a Plan for Exploitation of Results, respectively.

description: The focus in this paper is an analysis of existing state of the arts directed toward the development of the next generation of vibration damping systems. The research work concentrates on an investigation related to nanoparticles/fibres/tubes-reinforced materials and coatings dynamic characterization and modeling of the fundamental phenomena that control relationships between structure and damping/mechanical properties of the materials. We simulated composite materials using finite element and mesh free methods, using a hollow shell representation of the individual nanotube/fiber. Results of the research work will provide a platform for the development of nanoparticle-reinforced damping materials that are light-weight, vibration and shock resistant. The outcome of the research work is expected to have wide-ranging technical benefits with direct relevance to industry in areas of transportation (aerospace, automotive, rail), electronics and civil infrastructure development.

Mesozoic stratigraphy and paleontology of the west side of Harrison Lake, southwestern British Columbia
Creators: name: Arthur, Andrew John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A well preserved, fossiliferous Middle Triassic to Early Cretaceous section lies on the west side of Harrison Lake in the southern Coast Mountains. The study of this area involves a re-evaluation of the stratigraphic nomenclature first described by Crickmay (1925, 1930a) together with a lithologic description of the units and age determinations based on collected, identified and described fossils by the writer. Discussions on the biostratigraphy, paleogeography, regional correlations and structure of the thesis area and an overview of the regional tectonics of southwestern British Columbia and northwestern Washington, help to better understand the relation of this Mesozoic section to other rock assemblages in this geologically complex region. The oldest unit, the Middle Triassic Camp Cove Formation, comprises conglomeratic sandstone, siltstone and minor volcanic rock. Unconformable7 overlying this unit is the Toarcian to Early(?) Bajocian Harrison Lake Formation, divided into four distinct members by the writer, Celia Cove Member (basal conglomerate), West Road Member (siltstone, shale), Weaver Lake Member (flows, pyroclastic rocks, minor sediments) and Echo Island Member (interbedded tuff, siltstone, sandstone). Thickness of this formation is estimated at 3000 m. A hiatus probably is present between this unit and overlying shale, siltstone and sandstone of the Early Callovian Mysterious Creek Formation which is 700 m thick. Conformably above this are 230 m of sandstone and volcaniclastic rock of the Early Oxfordian Billhook Creek Formation. Late Jurassic fluvial conglomerate, sandstone and siltstone of the Kent Formation, perhaps 1000 m thick south of Harrison River, unconformably(?) overlies the last two units mentioned. Berriasian to Valanginian conglomerate and sandstone, 218 m thick, of the Peninsula Formation overlies the Billhook Creek Formation with slight angular unconformity. The Peninsula Formation is conformably overlain by tuffaceous sandstone, volcanic conglomerate, crystal tuff and flows of the Valanginian to Middle Albian Brokenback Hill Formation which is several km thick. Nine Jurassic ammonite genera are identified and described in this report. Triassic radiolaria and conpdonts and Cretaceous ammonites and bivalves are also present in the section. The most significant structure in the thesis area is the post-Albian to pre-Late Eocene Harrison Fault which strikes north-northwest through Harrison Lake, separating the Mesozoic section along the west side from the northern extension of the Cascade Metamorphic Core on the east side of the lake. A strong sub-horizontal stretching lineation within the fault zone may indicate right-lateral strike-slip movement.

On the Cuts of Scattering Amplitudes

description: The use of complex analysis for computing one-loop scattering amplitudes is naturally induced by generalised unitarity-cut conditions, fulfilled by complex values of the loop variable. We report on two techniques: the cut-integration with spinor-variables as contour integrals of rational functions; and the use of the Discrete Fourier Transform to optimize the reduction of tensor-integrals to master scalar integrals.

L’illusion identitaire sur les réseaux sociaux. Étude d’une nouvelle pratique de la mise en scène de soi au temps de la distanciation sociale

description: For the past year, people all over the world find themselves confronted with a global pandemic, affecting and limiting most aspects of their lives. We might assume then, that due to the emergence of new technologies, new media and particularly social networks, this crisis represents only a lesser threat to our social relations, a simple setback for the creation of new social links. However, locked up between four walls, new practices have emerged, sometimes surprising or frankly astonishing. Our social media profiles become, in these times of lock-down and social distancing, the only representations of ourselves, the only images we can send to others. It is therefore important to consider “our digital selves” and what these practices show us about a possible failure of our virtual avatars to provide us with social ties.

description: This article displays a proof of concept of the mixed analytical/numerical method, presented in previous publications, to compute two-loop functions with up to five massive propagators in a scalar theory having three- and four-leg vertices as the Higgs sector of the Standard Model. Several amplitudes are considered with two, three and four external legs. Some of them diverge in the UV region and we demonstrate that the method works in that case. It is shown that all these classes of amplitudes can be generated by four master topologies. Results of a numerical evaluation for some kinematics are presented, they are compared to a public code and agree well within the error bars quoted by the different programs.

description: This volume covers Leg 44 of the cruises of the Drilling Vessel Glomar Challenger. D/V Glomar Challenger sailed from Norfolk, Virginia on 5 August 1975 and returned to Norfolk on 30 September 1975 to complete Leg 44 of the Deep Sea Drilling Project. The eleven holes drilled at Sites 388-392 comprised the last scientific leg of the project’s Phase III. The western part of the North Atlantic Ocean holds clues to some of the most intriguing questions in marine geology. But because the geologic problems are many and varied, the sites of Leg 44 were multipurpose in nature. We planned to drill different kinds of sites in several areas, each with its own set of objectives. Our four major objectives were drilling: (1) the lower continental rise east of Cape Hatteras, where we hoped to get evidence for the origins of the continental rise hills, to prospect for carbonaceous and metalliferous sediments, and sample the basement between Sites 105 and 106 of Leg 11; (2) the Blake Nose, a spur of the Blake Plateau, to determine the nature, age, and origin of reef-like structures recognized on seismic profiles; (3) the Blake Outer Ridge, a long low ridge of sediments that forms the eastern boundary of the Blake-Bahama Basin, where we hoped to study the stratigraphy and sample supposed clathrates; and (4) the Blake-Bahama Basin, where we planned to sample the basement near the western edge of the magnetically quiet zone, as well as to continuously core the Lower Cretaceous and Jurassic formations, and to recover what we hoped would be the oldest sediments from any ocean basin.
Cellular tango: How extracellular matrix adhesion choreographs Rac-Rho signaling and cell movement

description: The small GTPases Rac and Rho are known to regulate eukaryotic cell shape, promoting front protrusion (Rac) or rear retraction (Rho) of the cell edge. Such cell deformation changes the contact and adhesion of cell to the extracellular matrix (ECM), while ECM signaling through integrin receptors also affects GTPase activity. We develop and investigate a model for this three-way feedback loop in 1D and 2D spatial domains, as well as in a fully deforming 2D cell shape. The model consists of reaction-diffusion equations solved numerically with open-source software, Morpheus, and with custom-built cellular Potts model simulations. We find a variety of patterns and cell behaviors, including persistent polarity, flipped front-back cell polarity oscillations, and random protrusion-retraction. We show that the observed spatial patterns depend on the cell shape, and vice versa. The cell stiffness and biophysical properties also affect patterning, overall cell migration phenotypes.

description: Gold nanospheres, single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT), and diamonoids were phyically incorporated into the negative photoresist SU-8. the mixtures were spin cast onto silicon or aluminium coated silicon wafers. ASTM standard D638 tensile specimens were lithographically patterned in the materials and then released from the substrate using Microchem'Omnicoat or an anodic metal dissolution process. the residual stresses, elastic moduli, and viscosity of the SU-8. Resistivity measurements of SU-8/SWNT nanocomposites were also investigates. We found the effective modulus and viscosity of the SU-8 test specimens decreases with the addition of diamantane and SWNTs. Additionally, the SU-8/SWNT nanocomposites showed changes in resistivity with increased strain, suggesting a gauge factor for the 1 wt% SU-8/SWNT nanocomposite of approximately 2-4.
