Emergent thermophoretic behavior in chemical reaction systems

Paolo De Los Rios, Shiling Liang, Daniel Maria Busiello

Exposing a solution to a temperature gradient can lead to the accumulation of particles on either the cold or warm side. This phenomenon is known as thermophoresis, and its microscopic origin is still debated. Here, we show that thermophoresis can be obser ...

Efficient methods for the operation of active distribution networks in unsymmetric and uncertain states

Sherif Alaa Salaheldin Fahmy

The increasing penetration of stochastic renewable distributed generation, energy storage systems and novel loads (e.g. electric-vehicles (EVs)) in active-distribution-networks (ADNs) or microgrids has triggered the need to develop real-time (e.g. minutes ...

Development and validation of a multiplex real-time qPCR assay using GMP-grade reagents for leprosy diagnosis

Stewart Cole, Charlotte Avanzi, Thyago Leal Calvo

Author summaryLeprosy is a chronic dermato-neurological disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, an obligate intracellular bacterium. Diagnosis of leprosy often relies on skin examinations for clinical signs, bacilli staining from skin smears and invasive s ...

Mutual Information Disentangles Interactions from Changing Environments

Daniel Maria Busiello, Giorgio Nicoletti

Real-world systems are characterized by complex interactions of their internal degrees of freedom, while living in ever-changing environments whose net effect is to act as additional couplings. Here, we introduce a paradigmatic interacting model in a switc ...

Ecological momentary assessment of emotional processing: An exploratory analysis comparing daily life and a psychotherapy analogue session

Mehdi Gholam, Hélène Beuchat, Loris Grandjean

Background: Emotional processing has been studied in psychotherapy as a state-dependent, sequential process of change. So far, no studies have applied this conceptualisation of emotional processing to the assessments of emotion in daily life. This is parti ...

Design of a quality control network for an international food company

Philippe Wieser, Nicolas Zufferey, Simone Lydia Voldrich

In this article, the design of a quality control network is considered in an entire supply chain, in the context of an international food and beverage company, denoted as ABC. For each possible control point of the network, two decisions have to be made: ( ...

Dissipative-coupling-assisted laser cooling: Limitations and perspectives

Alexander Tagantsev

The recently identified possibility of ground-state cooling of a mechanical oscillator in the unresolved sideband regime by combination of the dissipative and dispersive optomechanical coupling under the red sideband excitation [Phys. Rev. A 88, 023850 (20 ...

Development and validation of a multiplex UHPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of the investigational antibiotic against multi-resistant tuberculosis macozinone (PBTZ169) and five active metabolites in human plasma

Stewart Cole, Anthony Vocat, Thierry Buclin, Jeff Pitteloud

The emergence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains resistant to current first-line antibiotic regimens constitutes a major global health threat. New treatments against multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) are thus eagerly needed in particular in coun ...

Radiation and Internal Loss Engineering of High-Stress Silicon Nitride Nanobeams

Amir Hossein Ghadimi, Dalziel Joseph Wilson

High-stress Si3N4 nanoresonators have become an attractive choice for electro- and optomechanical devices. Membrane resonators can achieve quality factor (Q)frequency (f) products exceeding 10(13) Hz, enabling (in principle) quantum coherent operation at r ...

Influence of internal impacts between fragments in dynamic brittle tensile fragmentation

Jean-François Molinari, Marco Vocialta

Dynamic fragmentation phenomena involve two important mechanisms: atomic debonding and internal impacts among formed fragments. While the former, i.e. energy dissipation due to crack propagation, has been frequently studied both theoretically and numerical ...

Dissecting UbuntuOne: Autopsy of a Global-scale Personal Cloud Back-end

Marko Vukolic, Hamza Harkous, Yongchao Tian

Personal Cloud services, such as Dropbox or Box, have been widely adopted by users. Unfortunately, very little is known about the internal operation and general characteristics of Personal Clouds since they are proprietary services. In this paper, we fo ...

Unstable Avoided Crossing in Coupled Spinor Condensates

Nathan Rafaël Bernier

We consider the dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate with two internal states, coupled through a coherent drive. We focus on a specific quench protocol, in which the sign of the coupling field is suddenly changed. At a mean-field level, the system is tra ...

Role of high-order electromechanical coupling terms in thermodynamics of ferroelectric thin films

Alexander Tagantsev, Alexander Kvasov

Currently used methods for the description of thermodynamics of ferroelectric thin films (Landau theory or ab initio based Monte Carlo simulations) are based on an energy expansion in terms of internal degrees of freedom. It was shown that these methods ca ...
