description: While actin bundles are used by living cells for structural fortification, the microscopic origin of the elasticity of bundled networks is not understood. Here, we show that above a critical concentration of the actin binding protein fascin, a solution of actin filaments organizes into a pure network of bundles. While the elasticity of weakly crosslinked networks is dominated by the affine deformation of tubes, the network of bundles can be fully understood in terms of non-affine bending undulations.

description: Smart homes are one of the most promising applications of the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) technology. With the growing number of IoT related devices such as smart thermostats, smart fridges, smart speaker, smart light bulbs and smart locks, smart homes promise to make our lives easier and more comfortable. However, the increased deployment of such smart devices brings an increase in potential security risks and home privacy breaches. In order to overcome such risks, Intrusion Detection Systems are presented as pertinent tools that can provide network-level protection for smart devices deployed in home environments. These systems monitor the network activities of the smart home-connected de-vices and focus on alerting suspicious or malicious activity. They also can deal with detected abnormal activities by hindering the impostors in accessing the victim devices. However, the employment of such systems in the context of a smart home can be challenging due to the devices hardware limitations, which may restrict their ability to counter the existing and emerging attack vectors. Therefore, this paper proposes an experimental comparison between the widely used open-source NIDSs namely Snort, Suricata and Bro IDS to find the most appropriate one for smart homes in term of detection accuracy and resources consumption including CP and memory utilization. Experimental Results show that Suricata is the best performing NIDS for smart homes

description: Strangeness contents of baryons are calculated within rigid rotator model for arbitrary number of colors $N_c$. The problem of extrapolation to realistic value $N_c=3$ is noted, based on explicit calculations and comparison of rigid rotator and rigid oscillator variants of the model. Some features of exotic baryon spectra ($\{\bar{10}\}, \{27\}$-and $\{35\}$-plets of baryons) obtained in the chiral soliton approach can be understood in terms of simplified quark $(4q\bar{q})$ wave functions. The effective mass of strange antiquark in different SU(3) multiplets of pentaquarks should depend on the particular multiplet, to link the predictions of soliton and quark models. The estimate of the $6_F$ and $\bar{3}_F$ diquarks mass difference can be made from comparison with chiral soliton model results for masses of exotic baryons from different SU(3)-multiplets. The masses of baryons partners with different values of spin $J$ are also estimated.

description: Combining reinforcement learning (RL) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we propose a machine-learning approach (RL$^‡$) to automatically unravel chemical reaction mechanisms. In RL$^‡$, locating the transition state of a chemical reaction is formulated as a game, where a virtual player is trained to shoot simulation trajectories connecting the reactant and product. The player utilizes two functions, one for value estimation and the other for policy making, to iteratively improve the chance of winning this game. We can directly interpret the reaction mechanism according to the value function. Meanwhile, the policy function enables efficient sampling of the transition paths, which can be further used to analyze the reaction dynamics and kinetics. Through multiple experiments, we show that RL‡ can be trained tabula rasa hence allows us to reveal chemical reaction mechanisms with minimal subjective biases.

Evaluating Sex and Line Differences in Successive Negative Contrast and Ethanol Consumption in Alcohol Preferring and High Alcohol Drinking Rats

description: A loss of a job or relationship are a few examples of unexpected reward loss. Life events such as these can induce negative emotional reactions (e.g., anxiety and stress) which have been associated with increased drinking and in turn, an increased risk of developing an alcohol use disorder (AUD). The present study used a consummatory successive negative contrast (SNC) procedure to demonstrate unexpected reward loss reactivity in two lines selectively bred to consume high amounts of ethanol, alcohol preferring (P) and high alcohol drinking (HAD) rats. Following this reward loss, animals were given free access to ethanol to determine if ethanol consumption would increase to negate any negative emotional reaction provoked by this loss. P rats demonstrated a longer contrast effect than HAD rats, indicated by a longer recovery time following the downshift in reward. Conversely, HAD males did not demonstrate a contrast effect following this downshift in reward. Surprisingly, P rats who experienced a loss of reward consumed significantly less ethanol than animals who did not. Lastly, an individual measure of contrast size, or shift ratio, was significantly associated with greater ethanol consumption in HAD males only, who did not display a contrast effect. These data indicate different reactivity to SNC between these two lines and sexes, suggesting different genetic and sex-related mechanisms underlying sensitivity to an unexpected loss of reward.

The void of meaning : the sky in early seventeenth century English pamphlets
Creators: name: Bouk, Patricia Jane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Tempests, lighting and thunder churn up visions of murderous black dogs, daggers of fire, armies clashing and flocks of dragons in early seventeenth century English pamphlets. These visions take the form of woodcut images that whittle them away to the most straight forward effect, while the written accounts are often just as plain. Yet, it is in this seemingly crude and ephemeral form of the pamphlet that problems and issues rise to the surface, breaking up time and history. Within the pamphlet, the sky is a site of particular turmoil. This is the void that accommodates haunting tales of extra-terrestrial beasts as well as prodigious comets. It is the void which is filled with the possibility of the imagination as well as the anxieties of the undefined, and allows different forms of experiences to intermix. I will expose this site as being a particular aspect of the English pamphlet. This site has presented unusual problems and even current interest in print culture has not found ways to engage with this material, perhaps, because it forces a reconsideration of modern categories, structures of meaning, and familiar dichotomies. The challenge that is to be found occurs at a particular converging point where sky and ground meet, namely the reader. It is the position of the reader that is at stake within the dynamics of this site. It is the position of the reader that is made more complex and dangerous when one considers the pamphlet in relation to early seventeenth century applications of prophecy. This is a practice which brings into focus the boundaries around the sky and reveals hidden meanings. I will consider how the dynamics of the sky within the form of the pamphlet intervened in the social and political pre-Revolutionary period of England when diverse forms of authority and constructions of knowledge were drawn together in the pamphlet. Authorities found in reason, faith, superstition and magic were placed in potential dialogue and conflict regarding human experiences relating to the sky and what these meant in relation to a larger construction of a social political reality. The sky within the pamphlet can thus be considered as a frontier space of multiple contacts where something new is nurtured and threatens to emerge

description: It is known that some theories of class $S$ are actually factorized into multiple decoupled nontrivial four-dimensional $N=2$ theories. We propose a way of constructing examples of this phenomenon using the physics of half-BPS surface defects, and check that it works in one simple example: it correctly reproduces a known realization of two copies of $N=2$ superconformal $SU(2)$ QCD, describing this factorized theory as a class $S$ theory of type $A_3$ on a five-punctured sphere with a twist line. Separately, we also present explicit checks that the Coulomb branch of a putative factorized class $S$ theory has the expected product structure, in two examples.

description: To describe the history of ancient Cambodia – especially of the Ankorian Empire – is much more difficult than the reconstruction of the development of other ancient civilizations which had created a rich historiography by its own. But not only the lack of written literary documents as known from the Greek, Roman and Chinese civilizations. Even the huge amount of inscriptions does not help very much to give a coherent picture of the empire's political, religious, social and economic history. Information about military and political events are rarely mentioned, if not connected with acts of religious importance as was the case of a campaign against Campā to conquer a statue of the goddess Śrī. Nevertheless, the inscriptions – very often dated and bearing the names of ruling kings – provide a framework for the reconstruction of the basics of history. Moreover, the monumental architectural remains spread over vast territories are witness¬es of the extension of the empire. It remains enigmatic that even the many military expe¬ditions of the most warlike king Sūryavarman II are not recorded in his own inscriptions, but in Vietnamese annals. In the same manner the occupation of Campā by Jayavarman VII is recorded only in Cham inscriptions. Whenever Cambodian kings are speaking of their military conquests they never gave information about real events.

description: We examine the origins of the bimodality observed in the global properties of galaxies around a stellar mass of 3x10^10 M_sun by comparing the environmental dependencies of star-formation for the giant and dwarf galaxy populations. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR4 spectroscopic dataset is used to produce a sample of galaxies in the vicinity of the supercluster centered on the cluster A2199 at z=0.03 that is ~90% complete to a magnitude limit of M*+3.3. From these we measure global trends with environment for both giant (M_r7 Gyr) or passive (EW[H_alpha]<4 A) falls gradually from ~80% in the cluster cores to ~40% in field regions beyond 3-4 R_virial, as found in previous studies. In contrast, we find that the dwarf galaxy population shows a sharp transition at ~1 R_virial, from being predominantly old/passive within the cluster, to outside where virtually all galaxies are forming stars and old/passive galaxies are only found as satellites to more massive galaxies. These results imply fundamental differences in the evolution of giant and dwarf galaxies: whereas the star-formation histories of giant galaxies are determined primarily by their merger history, star-formation in dwarf galaxies is much more resilient to the effects of major mergers. Instead dwarf galaxies become passive only once they become satellites within a more massive halo, by losing their halo gas reservoir to the host halo, or through other environment-related processes such as galaxy harassment and/or ram-pressure stripping.

description: By explicit calculation of the two-loop QCD corrections we show that for singlet axial and vector currents the full off-shell correlation function in the limit of massless fermions is proportional to the one-loop result, when calculated in the MS-bar scheme. By the same finite renormalization which is needed to make the one-loop anomaly exact to all orders, we arrive at the conclusion that two-loop corrections are absent altogether, for the complete correlator not only its anomalous part. In accordance with the one-loop nature of the correlator, one possible amplitude, which seems to be missing by accident at the one-loop level, also does not show up at the two-loop level.

Voltage controlled awakening of memristor-like dynamic current-voltage loops of ferroelectric triglycine sulphate

Year: 2021

description: For the study of polarization reversal features in the structure of "mixed ionic-electronic conductor - on - ferroelectric" type, the hydrogen bonded molecular ferroelectric crystal triglycine sulphate (TGS) is used. The dynamic currant-voltage (I-V-) loops of thin TGS plates of polar (010) cut with dissimilar electrodes on the opposite surfaces (vacuum deposited Ag and Ag-paste diluted with a water-ethanol mixture) are investigated. After electroforming in the low-voltage vicinity of coercive voltage, during further cycling, a reversible transformation of I-V-loop shape occurs from typical of non-linear dielectrics to typical of memristive systems and than to typical of ferroelectrics (and vice versa) with a sequential increase (decrease) of drawing voltage amplitude. Such "awakening" and "falling asleep" of I-V-loops of the memristor type is apparently associated with reversible electromigration and accumulation of charged species (e.g., protons), in the hydrated surface layer of TGS as a component of electrochemical capacitor-on-ferroelectric structure. The observed transformation can be explained by considering the coupled ion transfer and polarization reversal taking into account the swinging of the boundary of the built-in chemical inhomogeneity under conditions of linear and/or nonlinear dynamics of ion drift and ionic concentration polarization caused by charged species transfer under the applied voltage.

description: Gravitational waves from binary neutron star inspirals have been detected along with the electromagnetic transients coming from the aftermath of the merger in GW170817. However, much is still unknown about the post-merger dynamics that connects these two sets of observables. This includes if, and when, the post-merger remnant star collapses to a black hole, and what are the necessary conditions to power a short gamma-ray burst, and other observed electromagnetic counterparts. Observing the collapse of the post-merger neutron star would shed led on these questions, constraining models for the short gamma-ray burst engine and the hot neutron star equation of state. In this work, we explore the scope of using gravitational wave detectors to measure the timing of the collapse either indirectly, by establishing the shut-off of the post-merger gravitational emission, or---more challengingly---directly, by detecting the collapse signal. For the indirect approach, we consider a kilohertz high-frequency detector design that utilises a previously studied coupled arm cavity and signal recycling cavity resonance. This design would give a signal-to-noise ratio of 0.5\,-\,8.6 (depending on the variation of waveform parameters) for a collapse gravitational wave signal occurring at 10\,ms post-merger of a binary at 50\,Mpc and with total mass $2.7 M_\odot$. For the direct approach, we propose a narrow-band detector design, utilising the sensitivity around the frequency of the arm cavity free spectral range. The proposed detector achieves a signal-to-noise ratio of 0.3\,-\,1.9, independent of the collapse time. This detector is limited by both the fundamental classical and quantum noise with the arm cavity power chosen as 10\,MW.
The dynamic behaviour of income assistance recipients in British Columbia
Creators: name: Barrett, Garry Fergus
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis investigates the labour market behaviour and program participation of social assistance recipients. The research is based on the analysis of a unique data set derived from the adrriinistration of the income assistance programs in British Columbia (B.C.) for the period 1980- 1992 to analyse the length of time individuals and families spend on welfare. In chapter two the growth in social assistance caseloads and expenditures is documented and the institutional features of the program are laid out. The B.C. income assistance administrative data are then used to examine the changing demographic composition of the caseload. It is found that a substantial proportion of the B.C. caseload is comprised of employable single men and women without children. Further, an examination of program exit rates reveals that most welfare spells are relatively short; however, there is a very high incidence of recidivism. The deterrninants of the length of welfare spells are analysed in more detail in chapter three. More sophisticated econometric models are estimated which control for observed characteristics and "unobserved heterogeneity" (omitted variables). The estimated models are used to test for several forms of program dependence. It is found that there is strong evidence of negative duration dependence in program exit rates. This implies that the program, to some extent, acts as a "trap" whereby exit from the program becomes less likely the longer an individual remains on the program. Further, the evidence indicates the presence of negative occurrence dependence and negative lagged duration dependence, which imply that participating in welfare has a scarring effect on recipients' labour market careers. Policy implications of these finding are discussed. The research presented in chapter four uses data generated from the operation of the Unemployment Insurance (UI) and income assistance programs to test for broader forms of program dependence. Specifically, this research examines whether participating in welfare leads to greater reliance on Unemployment Insurance. After controlling for UI program parameters, demand conditions and individual characteristics, it is found that the UI exit rate for individuals with a recent welfare history was almost identical to that of other beneficiaries.
Input-output theory of cavities in the ultra-strong coupling regime: the case of a time-independent vacuum Rabi frequency

description: We present a full quantum theory for the dissipative dynamics of an optical cavity in the ultra-strong light-matter coupling regime, in which the vacuum Rabi frequency is comparable to the electronic transition frequency and the anti-resonant terms of the light-matter coupling play an important role. In particular, our model can be applied to the case of intersubband transitions in doped semiconductor quantum wells embedded in a microcavity. The coupling of the intracavity photonic mode and of the electronic polarization to the external, frequency-dependent, dissipation baths is taken into account by means of quantum Langevin equations in the input-output formalism. Observable spectra (reflection, absorption, transmission and electroluminescence) are calculated analytically in the case of a time-independent vacuum Rabi frequency.

description: \u000aIn _Realizing the Distinctive University: Vision and Values, Strategy and Culture_, Mark William Roche changes the terms of the debate about American higher education. A former dean of the College of Arts and Letters at the University of Notre Dame, Roche argues for the importance of an institutional vision, not simply a brand, and while he extols the value of entrepreneurship, he defines it in contrast to the corporate drive toward commercialization and demands for business management models. Using the history of the German university to assess the need for, and implementation of, distinctive visions at American colleges and universities, Roche's own vision benefits from his deep connection to both systems as well as his experience in the trenches working to realize the special mission of an American Catholic university. Roche makes a significant contribution by delineating means for moving such an institution from vision to implementation.\u000a\u000aRoche provides a road map to creating a superb arts and sciences college within a major research university and offers a rich analysis of five principles that have shaped the modern American university: flexibility, competition, incentives, accountability, and community. He notes the challenges and problems that surface with these categories and includes ample illustration of both best practices and personal missteps. The book makes clear that even a compelling intellectual vision must always be linked to its embodiment in rhetoric, support structures, and community. Throughout this unique and appealing contribution to the literature on higher education, Roche avoids polemic and remains optimistic about the ways in which a faculty member serving in administration can make a positive difference.\u000a\u000a_Realizing the Distinctive University_ is a must read for academic administrators, faculty members interested in the inner workings of the university, and graduate students and scholars of higher education.\u000a

description: We study the fluctuation properties and return-time statistics on inhomogeneous scale-free networks using packets moving with two different dynamical rules; random diffusion and locally navigated diffusive motion with preferred edges. Scaling in the fluctuations occurs when the dispersion of a quantity at each node or edge increases like the its mean to the power $μ$. We show that the occurrence of scaling in the fluctuations of both the number of packets passing nodes and the number flowing along edges is related to preferential behaviour in either the topology (in the case of nodes) or in the dynamics (in case the of edges). Within our model the absence of any preference leads to the absence of scaling, and when scaling occurs it is non-universal; for random diffusion the number of packets passing a node scales with an exponent $μ$ which increases continuously with increased acquisition time window from $μ=1/2$ at small windows, to $μ=1$ at long time windows; In the preferentially navigated diffusive motion, busy nodes and edges have exponent $μ=1$, in contrast to less busy parts of the network, where an exponent $μ=1/2$ is found. Broad distributions of the return times at nodes and edges illustrate that the basis of the observed scaling is the cooperative behaviour between groups of nodes or edges. These conclusions are relevant for a large class of diffusive dynamics on networks, including packet transport with local navigation rules.

description: This volume covers Legs 87A and 87B of the cruises of the Drilling Vessel Glomar Challenger. The location, directions, and rates of lithospheric plate convergence for most of the active margins of the world are well established by geophysical data. Yet even after 12 Glomar Challenger voyages devoted to drilling active margins, the expression of lithospheric convergence in the geologic features of the setting remains poorly understood. On a larger scale, the mechanisms by which plate convergence causes mountains to rise above subduction zones and the origin of continental rocks are a matter of conjecture. With these broad questions in mind, Leg 87, the last DSDP expedition dedicated to drilling active margins, was designed to investigate two very different regions: the Nankai Trough and the Japan Trench. The transect in the Nankai Trough was selected to investigate: (1) subduction dynamics, namely, the physical properties of sediments; (2) kinematics and structural evolution of the forearc; and (3) sedimentation processes, both a determination of the relative importance of gravitational and tectonic processes in the deformation of the trench slope and a refinement of concepts regarding sedimentation in deep-sea fans. Additionally, the magnetostratigraphy, biostratigraphy, and tephrastratigraphy, as well as heat flow, paleoceanography, geochemistry of clathrates, and nature of pore water, were all distinct aspects of this investigation. The main objective in drilling the Japan Trench was to investigate the history of vertical motion of the continental margin near the trench and to penetrate a basal unconformity. Subsidence, probably associated with tectonic erosion, persisted throughout the Miocene, diminished in the Pliocene, and may have been followed by a slight amount of uplift since the beginning of the Pleistocene. Is this history unique to the previously drilled sites, or is it representative of the entire forearc? Two sites were drilled in the Nankai Trough (582-583) and one in the Japan Trench (584). Leg 87A began in Yokohama, Japan, and ended in Yokohama, Japan, taking place between June-July, 1982. Leg 87B began in Yokohama, Japan, and ended in Hakodate, Japan, taking place between July-August, 1982.

description: Ancestral Sequence Reconstruction is a technique used to statistically infer the most likely ancestor of a set of evolutionarily related sequences, but research which relies solely on protein data has the disadvantage of sequence information being lost upon translation of a protein from its gene transcript, due to the redundancy inherent in the genetic code. In this project, the amino acid sequences, and separately the corresponding codon sequences, of 184 homologous Acetylcholine receptor protein sequences were aligned, and phylogenetic analysis and ancestral sequence reconstruction was performed based on both alignments to infer several ancestral sequences representing important milestones in the evolutionary history of the homologous protein family. To further extract meaningful information from the nucleotide sequences, positive selection analysis was performed on the codon alignment using the Mixed Effects Model of Evolution method, which estimates and compares between the rates of synonymous and non- synonymous mutations across the alignment to detect the occurrence of positive selection events throughout their evolution. The Mixed Effects Model of Evolution can infer positive selection across both sites and evolutionary branches in a sequence alignment, thus highlighting residues along the evolutionary trajectory of the proteins which may have been functionally important in their evolution. Positive selection analysis detected positive selection at a multitude of sites and branches, and by mapping signatures at which selection is strongest with changes in the trajectory of ancestral states, several important sites were chosen as likely to be most valuable for future experimental testing. The implications of this study on the benefits of conducting ancestral sequence reconstruction with protein and codon sequences are discussed.

description: Commensurate-incommensurate change on the one-dimensional S=1 bilinear-biquadratic model (${\cal H}(α)=\sum_i \{{\bf S}_i\cdot {\bf S}_{i+1} +α({\bf S}_i\cdot{\bf S}_{i+1})^2\}$) is examined. The gapped Haldane phase has two subphases (the commensurate Haldane subphase and the incommensurate Haldane subphase) and the commensurate-incommensurate change point (the Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki point, $α=1/3$). There have been two different analytical predictions about the static structure factor in the neighborhood of this point. By using the Sørensen-Affleck prescription, these static structure factors are related to the Green functions, and also to the energy gap behaviors. Numerical calculations support one of the predictions. Accordingly, the commensurate-incommensurate change is recognized as a motion of a pair of poles in the complex plane.

description: The visual inspection of a hexahedral mesh with respect to element quality is difficult due to clutter and occlusions that are produced when rendering all element faces or their edges simultaneously. Current approaches overcome this problem by using focus on specific elements that are then rendered opaque, and carving away all elements occluding their view. In this work, we make use of advanced GPU shader functionality to generate a focus+context rendering that highlights the elements in a selected region and simultaneously conveys the global mesh structure in the surrounding. To achieve this, we propose a gradual transition from edge-based focus rendering to volumetric context rendering, by combining fragment shader-based edge and face rendering with per-pixel fragment lists. A fragment shader smoothly transitions between wireframe and face-based rendering, including focus-dependent rendering style and depth-dependent edge thickness and halos, and per-pixel fragment lists are used to blend fragments in correct visibility order. To maintain the global mesh structure in the context regions, we propose a new method to construct a sheet-based level-of-detail hierarchy and smoothly blend it with volumetric information. The user guides the exploration process by moving a lens-like hotspot. Since all operations are performed on the GPU, interactive frame rates are achieved even for large meshes.

description: Kuḍkā lies on the southern slope of, and at the foot of the Bambolim hill, bounded on the south by Śiddôṇ, on the north-west by Kujirā and on the north-east by Taḷāulī. Like the other villages in the cluster, it seems to have been a part of the extended domain of the Śilāhār and Kadaṃb port and capital, Gopakāpaṭṭan; although, unlike Bhāṭī or Gāṁvśī it does not have massive archaeological remains marking its past; it has just one possible piece of evidence of its connection with the flourishing port - what has been claimed to be a Jewish settlement. [Fjeld, 2015 : TheCurca Spring : A Possible Ancient Jewish Settlement In Goa, India, https://jewsofgoa.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/curca-report.pdf] The site is locally known as Ārkār, probably on account of an arched structure housing a spring, now in ruins. The fact that there was a flourishing trade from Gopakāpaṭṭan during the Śilāhār, Kadaṃb and Bahamani reigns is used to support the claim that the site marks a Jewish settlement; pieces of Chinese pottery have been found there. It is also claimed that there were several Arab and Jewish trading guilds functioning in and around the port town. However all this does not let us come to a firm conclusion that this was a Jewish settlement. Some Jewish scholars have claimed that the pool that existed in front of the spring was a mikveh, a pool or bath of clear water, immersion in which renders a Jew ritually clean. It is also speculated that the old portion at the rear of the Jēzū Nôzren chapel in Śiddôṇ (about 3 km away) was originally a synagogue. It is a circular structure with a dome; with a circular platform on the floor behind the altar. By its features it is claimed to resemble the layout of a Jewish synagogue. According to Fr Cosme Jose Costa s.f.x.,“Around the circular pattern, there are several holes in the wall, which could have been receptacles for storing the scrolls of the Torah; and the opening in the pulpit could be a gap to fix the table for reading the Torah.”. According to Cyril Fernandes, who has studied the chapel, the design of the chapel matches that of the synagogue at Mattanchery, Kochi.
The relativistic statistical theory and Kaniadakis entropy: an approach through a molecular chaos hypothesis

description: We have investigated the proof of the $H$ theorem within a manifestly covariant approach by considering the relativistic statistical theory developed in [G. Kaniadakis, Phy. Rev. E {\bf 66}, 056125, 2002; {\it ibid.} {\bf 72}, 036108, 2005]. As it happens in the nonrelativistic limit, the molecular chaos hypothesis is slightly extended within the Kaniadakis formalism. It is shown that the collisional equilibrium states (null entropy source term) are described by a $κ$ power law generalization of the exponential Juttner distribution, e.g., $f(x,p)\propto (\sqrt{1+ κ^2θ^2}+κθ)^{1/κ}\equiv\exp_κθ$, with $θ=α(x)+β_μp^μ$, where $α(x)$ is a scalar, $β_μ$ is a four-vector, and $p^μ$ is the four-momentum. As a simple example, we calculate the relativistic $κ$ power law for a dilute charged gas under the action of an electromagnetic field $F^{μν}$. All standard results are readly recovered in the particular limit $κ\to 0$.

Motion of an impurity in a two-leg ladder

description: We study the motion of an impurity in a two-leg ladder interacting with two fermionic baths along each leg, a simple model bridging cold atom quantum simulators with an idealised description of the basic transport processes in a layered heterostructure. Using the linked-cluster expansion we obtain exact analytical results for the single-particle Green's function and find that the long-time behaviour is dominated by an intrinsic orthogonality catastrophe associated to the motion of the impurity in each one-dimensional chain. We explore both the case of two identical legs as well as the case where the legs are characterised by different interaction strengths: in the latter case we observe a subleading correction which can be relevant for intermediate-time transport at an interface between different materials. In all the cases we do not find significant differences between the intra- and inter-leg Green's functions in the long-time limit.

Electrostatic interaction of a pointlike charge with a wormhole

description: A pointlike electric charge at rest is considered in the spacetime which is a wormhole connecting two otherwise Minkowskian spaces. The potential (i. e. a solution of the Maxwell equations) is split into two parts: one of them depends only on the value and location of the charge, while the other, on the contrary, does not change when the charge is quasistatically moved. Correspondingly, the former is interpreted as being generated by the charge, and the latter as being source-free. It is shown that all source-free potentials differ in the flux through the throat (no "multipoles without multipoles"), which enables one to interpret the flux as the "charge" of the wormhole in agreement with Wheeler's concept of "charge without charge". The potential generated by the charge differs from Coulomb's and thus a force (called "self-force") acts on the charge even in the absence of the source-free field. This force is found explicitly in the limit of vanishing throat length. The result differs from that obtained recently by Khusnutdinov and Bakhmatov.

description: Breast cancer (BC) is the second most diagnosed cancer in Canadian women. Early detection of this cancer is critical to improve patient survival and prognoses. Exosomes are proposed to be involved in tumor proliferation through the transfer of diverse biomolecules, including metabolites. The use of exosomes as biomarkers for early diagnosis of BC has recently garnered interest due to them having unique biomolecules in diseased cohorts. Hence, an untargeted metabolomic analysis of BC exosomes was performed using nano high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (nLC-MS/MS) for BC diagnostic biomarker discovery. A total of 9 independent metabolite samples from non-tumorogenic MCF10A and highly metastatic MDA-MB-231 cell lines were analyzed. Bioinformatic analysis revealed 27 potential metabolite candidates unique to MDA-MB-231. Amongst 4 metabolites tested, one, N-Acetyl-L-Phenylalanine, was successfully validated. Overall, this study reveals that exosomes possess metabolites that can be candidates for early BC diagnosis.
