3. Possibilité et nécessité de pensées interdisciplinaires en temps de crise
Creators: name: Servet, Jean-Michel
Publisher: name: GISI - UniTO
Year: 2012

description: La croyance en la possibilité d’une pluri ou multi disciplinarité fondée sur une juxtaposition des divers regards disciplinaires est largement répandue. Cette démarche est source d’illusions notamment parce que des échelles différentes d’analyse sont utilisées (macro, méso, micro). Elle est surtout dangereuse quand elle occulte une nécessaire interrogation sur les hypothèses fondamentales et les méthodes constituant les objets de recherche par chaque discipline, voire les courants de celles-ci. Par ce recul critique et relativiste, l’interdisciplinarité permet d’appréhender les limites de chacune des parcelles de la connaissance et de comprendre comment les différents savoirs (re)construisent ce que nous tenons pour des réalités. Le doute introduit par la crise quant à l’efficacité de certains savoirs disciplinaires facilite la mise en cause des positions dogmatiques et la reconnaissance des limites de chacun des regards. English Title and Abstract Possibility and Necessity of Interdisciplinary Thoughts in Times of Crisis The belief in the possibility of a pluri-disciplinary or multi-disciplinary approach, as based on the juxtaposition of various disciplinary perspectives, is widely spread. Yet this tenet is a source of illusions, in particular since different scales (macro, meso, micro) are used in analysis. It is especially dangerous when it obfuscates a much needed interrogation on the fundamental hypotheses and methods that in each discipline constitute its research objectsand its ramifications. Taking a step back to a both critical and relativistic point of view, interdisciplinarity makes it possible to grasp the limits of each domain of knowledge, as well as to understand how different types of knowledge (re)construct what we deem to be real. The crisis introduces doubts as to the effectiveness of certain disciplinary knowledge, that make it easier to question dogmatic positions and to recognize the limits of each vantage point.

description: We show that under rather general assumptions on the form of the entropy function, the energy balance equation for a system in thermodynamic equilibrium is equivalent to a set of nonlinear equations of hydrodynamic type. This set of equations is integrable via the method of the characteristics and it provides the equation of state for the gas. The shock wave catastrophe set identifies the phase transition. A family of explicitly solvable models of non-hydrodynamic type such as the classical plasma and the ideal Bose gas are also discussed.

description: Time-reversal symmetry (TRS) is pivotal for materials optical, magnetic, topological, and transport properties. Chiral phonons, characterized by atoms rotating unidirectionally around their equilibrium positions, generate dynamic lattice structures that break TRS. Here we report that coherent chiral phonons, driven by circularly polarized terahertz light pulses, can polarize the paramagnetic spins in CeF3 like a quasi-static magnetic field on the order of 1 Tesla. Through time-resolved Faraday rotation and Kerr ellipticity, we found the transient magnetization is only excited by pulses resonant with phonons, proportional to the angular momentum of the phonons, and growing with magnetic susceptibility at cryogenic temperatures, as expected from the spin-phonon coupling model. The time-dependent effective magnetic field quantitatively agrees with that calculated from phonon dynamics. Our results may open a new route to directly investigate mode-specific spin-phonon interaction in ultrafast magnetism, energy-efficient spintronics, and non-equilibrium phases of matter with broken TRS.

3. Open Society or Closed Salon? A Reading of Brillat-Savarin’s “Physiologie du goût”
Creators: name: Hashimoto, Chikako
Publisher: name: GISI - UniTO
Year: 2012

description: This article tries to define the concept of ‘gastronomy’ as constructed by Brillat-Savarin, whose ideas were much affected by the physiological and philosophical thought of the Ideologues, especially Cabanis. Despite the title of Brillat-Savarin’s main work, Physiologie du goût, he pursuits in the end a pleasure whichis far from a sheerly sensual gratification in eating. This article will initially consider his justification of gastronomy as a kind of virtue; next we shall examine how he shifts from the physiological investigation, to the social and moral dimensions, and his tendency to apparently undervalue the same sensual pleasures which he had previously justified, to develop instead his idea of a ‘social gourmandise’. Pleasures are in the end just a means to achieve the joys of what he calls ‘conviviality’, a kind of social pleasure accessible to those who possess “bon goût”, a formula that adds an intellectual facet to the sensual idea of taste.

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We show that the present-day dark matter abundance can be produced through a novel mechanism that involves a very rapid thermal freeze-out caused by inhomogeneous heating and successive fast cooling of small fireballs in the early Universe. The fireballs can be produced from energy deposited in small scale structure growth induced by Yukawa interactions in certain particle species. Yukawa interactions are known to cause growth of halos even during a radiation dominated era, and the same interactions facilitate cooling and collapse of the halos by the emission of scalars. Energy deposited in the Standard Model plasma at the locations of the halo collapse can heat the plasma, re-establishing thermal equilibrium. The subsequent expansion and cooling of plasma fireballs leads to freeze-out of dark matter on timescales much shorter than the Hubble time. This mechanism can produce the right abundance of dark matter for masses and annihilation cross sections previously thought to be ruled out.

subject: grounded theory

description: This thesis explores how relationships develop between humans and their equine companions, and how such relationships may be mutually beneficial. Specifically, the research question asks: What are the processes that occur in the interaction between humans and horses? The research employs a qualitative grounded theory method, which includes semi-structured interviews and observation with twenty-four adult recreational horse enthusiasts in and around the city of Calgary, in Alberta, Canada. This research makes a significant contribution as it proposes a framework for understanding how the human-horse interaction unfolds as a relational act and as a transformative process of mutual wellbeing that is, of human wellbeing and perceived equine welfare. The holistic model of human-horse interaction proposed here suggests that through complex and highly contextual processes, study participants moved in, out, and through interactions with their horses. These processes were fundamental to furthering each participant’s self-understanding, understanding of their relationships with their horses as significant others, and fulfillment through self-discovery. The multidimensionality of the interactions was constructed through both structural influences and interactional processes comprised within and across five categories: (1) pathways to horses; (2) the space of/as interaction; (3) believing in relational mutuality; (4) committing to ethical communication; and (5) affirming an authentic self. Participants in this study reaped benefits from their interaction with horses, but their horses were also perceived to have benefitted from these relationships. For many this was guided by a fundamental belief in their horses as individuals—as agents with voice. However, this belief did not precede their relationships with their horses but was instead cultivated in-relationship and enacted through fulfilling the fundamentals of a good life for their equine companions. Fulfilling the needs of their horses was driven by participants’ commitment to ensuring their overall wellness, in turn creating a dynamic exchange and threshold for participant experiences of their own wellbeing. Thus by fulfilling important life-sustaining physical, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions that paralleled fulfilling those of their horses, participants ignited and revitalized their own core life dimensions.

Pour surmonter la contradic- tion entre la préservation de la liberté individuelle et les effets destructeurs de cette liberté il faut faire accéder les hommes à l’intérêt éclairé. Le moyen d’y parvenir est celui de l’instruction. Le Traité d’économie politique se présente alors comme le premier livre de morale du peuple vivant en République. English Title and Abstract Immediate Interest and Vanity. Towards a Responsible and Organizing Individualism Every author has a global vision of society, that necessarily conditions their analysis.

In order to overcome the contradiction between the preservation of individual freedom and the destructive effects of this freedom, men must be brought to enlightened interest. The way to do this is through education. The Treatise on Political Economy, then, comes across as the first book of ethics for a people living in a Republic.

description: Spectroscopic, polarimetric, and high spectral resolution interferometric data covering the period 1995-2011 are analyzed to document the transition into a new phase of circumstellar disk activity in the classical Be-shell star 48 Lib. The long-term disk evolution is described using the V/R ratio of the violet and red emission components of H alpha and Br gamma, radial velocities and profiles of He I and optical metal shell lines, multi-band BVRI polarimetry, broad-band and high-resolution interferometric visibilities and phases. Spectroscopic signatures of disk asymmetries in 48 Lib vanished in the late nineties but recovered some time between 2004 and 2007. Variations in the radial velocity and line profile of conventional shell lines correlate with the V/R behavior. They are shared by narrow absorption cores superimposed on otherwise seemingly photospheric He I lines, which may form in high-density gas at the inner disk close to the photosphere. Large radial velocity variations continued also during the V/R-quiet years. The broad H-band interferometry gives a disk diameter of (1.72+-0.2) mas (equivalent to 15 stellar radii), position angle of the disk (50+-9) deg and a relatively low disk flattening of 1.66+-0.3. Within the errors the same disk position angle is derived from polarimetric observations and from photocenter shifts across Br gamma. The high-resolution interferometric visibility and phase profiles show a double or even multiple-component structure. A preliminary estimate based on the size of the Br gamma emitting region indicates a large diameter for the disk (tens of stellar radii).

description: We study the long time behavior of solutions of the Cauchy problem for nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations in one space dimension with the nonlinearity of bistable, ignition or monostable type. We prove a one-to-one relation between the long time behavior of the solution and the limit value of its energy for symmetric decreasing initial data in $L^2$ under minimal assumptions on the nonlinearities. The obtained relation allows to establish sharp threshold results between propagation and extinction for monotone families of initial data in the considered general setting.
Y-box binding protein-1 is essential for the growth and survival of HER2 over-expressing breast cancers and mediates trastuzumab resistance by inducing CD44
Creators: name: Dhillon, Jaspreet
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Y-box binding protein-1 (YB-1) is an oncogenic transcription/translation factor expressed in 40% of all subtypes of invasive breast carcinomas, where its expression is correlated with relapse and poor survival. HER2 amplifications are a frequent genetic abnormality observed in approximately 25% of breast cancers where its over-expression is associated with poor clinical outcome and decreased disease free survival. We recently reported that HER2 over-expressing breast cancers are dependent on YB-1 for growth and survival. In HER2 positive tumours we implicated YB-1 in sustaining cancer cells by its involvement in the STAT3 signalling pathway. The development of trastuzumab, a targeted therapy against HER2, has provided substantial advances in the care and treatment of patients whose tumours over-express HER2. Unfortunately, the development of acquired resistance to trastuzumab remains a prevalent challenge in the treatment of patients whose tumours express HER2. Since YB-1 is also linked to drug resistance in other types of cancer, we addressed its possible role in trastuzumab insensitivity. Employing an in vivo model of acquired resistance, we demonstrated that resistant cell lines have elevated levels of P-YB-1S¹°² and its activating kinase P-RSK and that these levels are sustained following trastuzumab treatment. Further, to demonstrate the importance of YB-1 in mediating drug resistance, the expression of the active mutant YB-1S¹°²D rendered the BT474 cell line insensitive to trastuzumab. Questioning the role of tumour initiating cells (TICs) and their ability to escape cancer therapies, we investigated YB-1’s involvement in inducing the cancer stem cell marker CD44. Notably, the resistant cells expressed more CD44 mRNA and protein compared to BT474 cells, which correlated with increased mammosphere formation. Expression of YB-1S¹°²D in the BT474 cells increased CD44 protein levels, resulting in enhanced mammosphere formation. Further, exposing BT474 cells to trastuzumab selected for a resistant subpopulation enriched for CD44. Conversely, siRNA inhibition of CD44 restored trastuzumab sensitivity in the resistant cell lines. Our findings provide insight on a novel mechanism employed by tumour cells to acquire the ability to escape the effects of trastuzumab and suggest that targeting YB-1 may overcome resistance by eliminating the unresponsive TIC population, rendering the cancer sensitive to therapy.

description: The recent progress of artificial intelligence (AI) has boosted the computational possibilities in fields where standard computers are not able to perform. The AI paradigm is to emulate human intelligence and therefore breaks the familiar architecture on which digital computers are based. In particular, neuromorphic computing, artificial neural networks (ANN) and deep learning models mimic how the brain computes. Large networks of interconnected neurons whose synapsis are individually strengthened or weakened during the learning phase find many applications. With this respect, photonics is a suitable platform to implement ANN hardware thanks to its speed, low power dissipation and multi-wavelength opportunities. One photonic device candidate to perform as an optical neuron is the optical microring resonator. Indeed microring resonators show both a nonlinear response and a capability of optical energy storage, which can be interpreted as a fading memory. Moreover, by using silicon photonics, the photonic integrated circuits can be fabricated in volume and with integrated electronics on board. For these reasons, here, we describe the physics of silicon microring resonators and of arrays of microring resonators for application in neuromorphic computing. We describe different types of ANNs from feed-forward networks to photonics extreme learning machines and reservoir computing. In addition, we discuss also hybrid systems where silicon microresonators are coupled to other active materials. this review aims to introduce the basics and to discuss the most recent developments in the field.

Nest humidity and egg water vapor conductance of archosaurs: Implications for nesting modes

Year: 2012

subject: Nest humidity
subject: Water vapor conductance

subject: Nesting mode
subject: Archosaurs

description: Absolute nest humidity (Pnest) and egg water vapor conductance (GH2O) of 295 taxa of living archosaurs are analyzed to test if Pnest and GH2O are correlated to nest types. Pnest is shown to be significantly higher in covered nest types than in non-covered nest types, likely because enclosed environments retain more humidity. Also, estimated Pnest of some waterbirds (e.g., grebes) with non-covered cup nests is high and comparable to that of covered nests, probably because the nest material is wet. Species that incubate eggs in humid nests are shown to have significantly higher GH2O than those incubating in regular nests (less humid), and these differences in GH2O between nester types prevent excess humidification or desiccation of the eggs. Therefore, Pnest and GH2O of the eggs appear to be closely related to nesting types in archosaurs, the latter of which can potentially be used to infer nest types of extinct archosaurs.
Femtoscopy of Pb-Pb and pp collisions at the LHC with the ALICE experiment

description: We report on the results of femtoscopic analysis of Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=2.76 TeV and pp collisions at sqrt(s)=0.9, 2.76 and 7 TeV with identical pions and kaons. Detailed femtoscopy studies in heavy-ion collisions at SPS and RHIC have shown that emission region sizes ("HBT radii") decrease with increasing pair transverse momentum k_T, which is understood as a manifestation of the collective behavior of matter. The trend was predicted to persist at the LHC. The data from Pb-Pb collisions confirm the existence of a flowing medium and provide strict constraints on the dynamical models. Similar analysis is carried out for pp collisions for pions and kaons and qualitative similarities to heavy-ion data are seen, especially in collisions producing large number of particles. The observed trends give insight into the soft particle production mechanism in pp collisions. 3D radii were also found to universally scale with event multiplicity in heavy-ion collisions. We extend the range of multiplicities both upwards with the Pb-Pb data and downwards with the pp data to test the scaling in new areas. In particular the high multiplicity pp collisions reach particle densities comparable to the ones measured in peripheral Cu-Cu and Au-Au collisions at RHIC. This allows for the first time to directly compare freeze-out sizes for systems with very different initial states.

description: Excess micromotion is detrimental to accurate qubit control of trapped ions, thus measuring and minimizing it is crucial. In this paper, we present a simple approach for measuring and suppressing excess micromotion of trapped ions by leveraging the existing laser-driven qubit transition scheme combined with direct scanning of dc voltages. The compensation voltage is deduced by analyzing the Bessel expansion of a scanned qubit transition rate. The method provides a fair level of sensitivity for practical quantum computing applications, while demanding minimal deviation of trap condition. By accomplishing compensation of excess micromotion in the qubit momentum-excitation direction, the scheme offers an additional avenue for excess micromotion compensation, complementing existing compensation schemes.

description: The current global change is increasing the occurrence of extraordinary wildfires that overwhelm the suppression capacities, provoking substantial damages, and often resulting in human fatalities and threatening ecosystem integrity. Generating reliable and robust climate projections decisive for extreme wildfire events occurrence in Europe at different scales is of high priority to offer the specific conditions under which wildfires will develop to policymakers and stakeholders, so actions aimed to decrease extreme fire risk, enhance the safety and preparedness of citizens and firefighters are built according to future new conditions. In addition to essential variables such as air temperature and precipitation, this report aims to generate spatial projections and analyze indices such as the Fire Weather Index (FWI) and the continuous atmospheric instability (C-Haines index), both at the pan-European scale and at the living lab scale (in 5 biomes representative FIRE-RES living labs) to allow a better understanding of the future changes in the occurrence of extreme wildfire events. We mobilized climate projections from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) to evaluate new-future (2041-2060) and far-future (2081-2100) weather conditions under three socio-economic pathway scenarios (SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5). Besides, we also evaluated the accuracy of high-resolution FWI seasonal forecasts on historical records of three Mediterranean Living Labs of the FIRE-RES project. The main temporal and spatial results of both the future projections and seasonal forecasts are discussed, and the generated spatial data is available under the ZENODO repository of the FIRE-RES project.

description: Permanency has been recognized as an important goal for children and youth in government care. However, two groups for whom the meaning of permanency has generated considerable debate are youth in foster care, and Aboriginal children and youth. A comprehensive literature review revealed that permanency for youth is both necessary and achievable, and cultural considerations were critical in achieving permanency. The purpose of this study was to explore the views of Aboriginal youth who have aged out of foster care on permanency. Individual, semi-structure interviews were completed with six young adults (ages 18 to 20) and a follow up focus group was completed with three of these participants. The data was analyzed using a basic qualitative, pragmatic approach. This analysis revealed that the goals of permanency and culture have been set up as competing priorities rather than as complimentary objectives working in harmony for the well being of Aboriginal children and youth in care.

Mass decoupling is a result of an internal Josephson effect: mass supercurrent inside phase coherent tunnelling clusters. Quantitative results are in reasonable agreement with experiments.

description: Information retrieval systems such as open web search and recommendation systems are ubiquitous and significantly impact how people receive and consume online information. Previous research has shown the importance of fairness in information retrieval systems to combat the issue of echo chambers and mitigate the rich-get-richer effect. Therefore, various fairness-aware information retrieval methods have been proposed. Score-based fairness-aware information retrieval algorithms, focusing on statistical parity, are interpretable but could be mathematically infeasible and lack generalizability. In contrast, learning-to-rank-based fairness-aware information retrieval algorithms using fairness-aware loss functions demonstrate strong performance but lack interpretability. In this study, we proposed a novel and interpretable framework that recursively refines query keywords to retrieve documents from underrepresented groups and achieve group fairness. Retrieved documents using refined queries will be re-ranked to ensure relevance. Our method not only shows promising retrieval results regarding relevance and fairness but also preserves interpretability by showing refined keywords used at each iteration.

description: This thesis describes a hermeneutic phenomenological study examining families’ experience of having a service dog for their children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Eight families in Alberta who had received a service dog for their child with ASD participated. An important voice in the study is from four of the children with ASD themselves, including their interpretation of what their dog means to them. The study was theoretically based in the social work lens of a Person-in-Environment approach along with attachment theory and Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory of human development. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants. Results indicated that the dogs were perceived to foster increased safety for the child as well as enhancing social interaction, companionship, and sensory support. Parents experienced a sense of support in which they believed the dogs shared some of the parenting burden in that the dog carried aspects of care for the child. The children with ASD communicated and demonstrated a deep connection with their service animals, and much of that connection seemed to occur regardless of whether language skills were present. Understanding the nature and impact of this connection invites further study with a priority of hearing children’s voices. As there is a lack of information about how this population handles the eventual loss and death of a service dog, and some participants expressed a concern for this eventuality, future research about such loss is warranted. Implications for practice are discussed.

description: Techniques to improve the data quality of interferometric radio observations are considered. Fundaments of fringe frequencies in the uv-plane are discussed and filters are used to attenuate radio-frequency interference (RFI) and off-axis sources. Several new applications of filters are introduced and tested. A low-pass filter in time and frequency direction on single baseline data is successfully used to lower the noise in the area of interest and to remove sidelobes coming from unmodelled off-axis sources and RFI. Related side effects of data integration, averaging and gridding are analysed, and shown to be able to cause ghosts and an increase in noise, especially when using long baselines or interferometric elements that have a large field of view. A novel projected fringe low-pass filter is shown to be potentially useful for first order source separation. Initial tests show that the filters can be several factors faster compared to common source separation techniques such as peeling and a variant of peeling that is currently being tested on LOFAR observations called "demixed peeling". Further testing is required to support the performance of the filters.

description: Complementary diffuse and inelastic synchrotron X-ray scattering measurements of lead zirconate-titanate single crystals with composition near the morphotropic phase boundary (x=0.475) are reported. In the temperature range 293 K < T < 400 K a highly anisotropic quasielastic diffuse scattering is observed. Above 400 K this scattering disappears. Its main features can be reproduced by model of inhomogeneous lattice deformations caused by inclusions of a tetragonal phase into a rhombohedral or monoclinic phase. This observation supports the idea that PZT at its morphotropic phase boundary is essentially structurally inhomogeneous.

description: Removal of the accumulated liquid from jumpers of subsea gas production systems is essential to avoid possible hydrate creation and further damage to the pipeline. However, the displacement of high amounts of accumulated liquid during the production start-up leads to a gas pressure rise. Liquid plugs formed during the liquid displacement impact the structure's elbows. This in addition to cyclic pressure/forces fluctuations, may lead to harmful flow-induced vibrations (FIV). These flow phenomena that may endanger the jumper structure were explored in air-water experiments performed in a lab-scale jumper. The critical (minimal) gas velocity needed to purge the accumulated liquid was determined and the pressure and forces variations during the liquid removal were measured. In addition, the effects of the gas velocity, initial liquid amount, and gas flow ramp-up on the air-water flow phenomena were documented. Results of 3D and 2D numerical simulations (using OpenFOAM) were verified against the experimental data. The effects of employing different RANS turbulence models on the predictions were tested and demonstrated. A simple mechanistic model was established to predict the pressure and force variation during liquid displacement. The model enables inspecting the variation with the operational conditions of each pressure component (i.e., hydrostatic, friction, and acceleration) and examining their significance and contribution to the pressure rise.

Death Stories: Finding Meaning in Tragic Narratives Depicted in Theatrical Performance

description: Why individuals watch dramatized narratives about mortality and futility has been discussed throughout the history of dramatic criticism (Dukore, 1974). However the value in watching tragedy for people’s understanding of death had not been specifically studied. This project explored the reactions of people who watched and performed a tragedy about death to address two research goals: to understand how people react to dramatic portrayals that either enable finding meaning in the tradition of tragedy or challenge the idea of finding meaning in the absurdist tradition, and to document how people report aspects of the play that are helpful for dealing with loss experiences, in particular the role that existential challenges and functional illusions play in their experiences. The basis for this study was a play about the death of a man and its implications for his family. Audience members and creative team members were recruited to participate and reported their reactions to the play in focus group discussions and interviews. Participant reactions were recorded verbatim and analyzed using interpretive description qualitative methodology (Thorne et al., 2004). This was pioneer study that involved a new play and feedback from participants who engaged with that work. The findings suggest that tragedy could be a means of communication about death. In watching a tragedy several psychological and emotional needs are met (Becker, 1973; Greenberg, 1997). The global theme of the analysis was the significance of death stories, which involved three themes: reactions towards the elements of story, the search for meaning in the play, and the power of drama to normalize experiences with death. In particular, the shared experience and participants’ engagement with the play on a personal level appeared to provide ways for them to absorb existential themes in the play and speak to their need to find meaning in death. Participant resonance with the death stories portrayed in the play combined with the death stories they told suggest that narrative may be a powerful device when looking for ways to find significance and solace in loss. These findings highlight ways drama could be helpful in palliative nursing and grief therapy.

description: Two centuries of research on phase transitions have repeatedly highlighted the importance of critical fluctuations that abound in the vicinity of a critical point. They are at the origin of scaling laws obeyed by thermodynamic observables close to second-order phase transitions resulting in the concept of universality classes, that is of paramount importance for the study of organizational principles of matter. Strikingly, in case such soft fluctuations are too abundant they may alter the nature of the phase transition profoundly; the system might evade the critical state altogether by undergoing a discontinuous first-order transition into the ordered phase. Fluctuation-induced first-order transitions have been discussed broadly and are germane for superconductors, liquid crystals, or phase transitions in the early universe, but clear experimental confirmations remain scarce. Our results from neutron scattering and thermodynamics on the model Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) helimagnet (HM) MnSi show that such a fluctuation-induced first-order transition is realized between its paramagnetic and HM state with remarkable agreement between experiment and a theory put forward by Brazovskii. While our study clarifies the nature of the HM phase transition in MnSi that has puzzled scientists for several decades, more importantly, our conclusions entirely based on symmetry arguments are also relevant for other DM-HMs with only weak cubic magnetic anisotropies. This is in particular noteworthy in light of a wide range of recent discoveries that show that DM helimagnetism is at the heart of problems such as topological magnetic order, multiferroics, and spintronics.
