Local vs. cooperative: Unraveling glass transition mechanisms with SEER

Which phenomenon slows down the dynamics in supercooled liquids and turns them into glasses is a long-standing question of condensed matter. Most popular theories posit that as the temperature decreases, many events must occur in a coordinated fashion on a ...

Axonal and Dendritic Morphology of Excitatory Neurons in Layer 2/3 Mouse Barrel Cortex Imaged Through Whole-Brain Two-Photon Tomography and Registered to a Digital Brain Atlas

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Georgios Foustoukos, Yanqi Liu

Communication between cortical areas contributes importantly to sensory perception and cognition. On the millisecond time scale, information is signaled from one brain area to another by action potentials propagating across long-range axonal arborizations. ...

Vase-Kite Equilibrium of Resorcin[4]arene Cavitands Investigated Using Molecular Dynamics Simulations with Ball-and-Stick Local Elevation Umbrella Sampling

Jovana Milic

A key feature of resorcin[4]arene cavitands is their ability to switch between a closed/contracted (Vase) and an open/expanded (Kite) conformation. The mechanism and dynamics of this interconversion remains, however, elusive. In the present study, the Vase ...

The relativistic foundations of synchrotron radiation

Giorgio Margaritondo

Special relativity (SR) determines the properties of synchrotron radiation, but the corresponding mechanisms are frequently misunderstood. Time dilation is often invoked among the causes, whereas its role would violate the principles of SR. Here it is show ...

Optical imaging of surface chemistry and dynamics in confinement

Sylvie Roke, Carlos Alberto Macias Romero, Halil Ibrahim Okur, Igor Nahálka

We imaged the interfacial structure and dynamics of water in a microscopically confined geometry in three dimensions and on millisecond time scales with a 3D structurally illuminated wide-field second harmonic microscope. Image contrast reports on the orie ...

Wavelet Statistics of Sparse and Self-Similar Images

Michaël Unser, Emrah Bostan, Julien René Pierre Fageot

It is well documented that natural images are compressible in wavelet bases and tend to exhibit fractal properties. In this paper, we investigate statistical models that mimic these behaviors. We then use our models to make predictions on the statistics of ...

Consistency Models in Distributed Systems with Physical Clocks

Jiaqing Du

Most existing distributed systems use logical clocks to order events in the implementation of various consistency models. Although logical clocks are straightforward to implement and maintain, they may affect the scalability, availability, and latency of t ...

Nanosecond Pulses in a THz Gyrotron Oscillator Operating in a Mode-Locked Self-Consistent Q-Switch Regime

Stefano Alberti, Minh Quang Tran, Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Jérémy Genoud, Trach-Minh Tran

An experimental study of a nanosecond pulsed regime in a THz gyrotron oscillator operating in a self-consistent Q-switch regime has been carried out. The gyrotron is operated in the TE7,2 transverse mode radiating at a frequency of 260.5 GHz. The 5 W nanos ...

Hydrodynamic and subdiffusive motion of tracers in a viscoelastic medium

László Forró, Sylvia Jeney, Elena Bertseva

We investigate the diffusive motion of micron-sized spherical tracers in a viscoelastic actin filament network over the time span of 8 orders of magnitude using optical-tweezers single-particle tracking. The hydrodynamic interactions of a tracer with the s ...

Entangled queries: enabling declarative data-driven coordination

Christoph Koch

Many data-driven social and Web applications involve collaboration and coordination. The vision of Declarative Data-Driven Coordination (D3C), proposed in Kot et al. [2010], is to support coordination in the spirit of data management: to make it data-centr ...

Chemical exchange in proteins : relaxation of multiple- and single-quantum coherences studied by NMR

Mariachiara Verde

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy offers many ways to investigate dynamic properties of molecules. A wide variety of experimental techniques can probe molecular dynamics on time scales that range from 10-12 to 103 seconds. Many lines of evidenc ...

Optical sampling technique applied to high resolution distributed fibre sensors

Luc Thévenaz, Stella Foaleng Mafang

A technique developed to acquire fast optical signals using low frequency detection and acquisition is presented here. It is based on optical sampling that creates a replica of the fast signal on a much slower time scale by a simple strobe effect. High ban ...

Dynamic photoelectrochemistry at porphyrin-sensitised liquid/liquid interfaces

Nicolas Eugster

The interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions provides a well-defined framework for fundamental studies of heterogeneous charge transfer processes. Recent developments in experimental methodology have allowed addressing the kinetics of electro ...
