Posted by klaurent UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Philip Starr | Authors: James J. Sermon, Maria Olaru, Juan Anso, Stephanie Cernera, Simon Little, Maria Shcherbakova, Rafal Bogacz, Philip A. Starr, Timothy Denison and Benoit Duchet | Summary: Objectives The exact mechanisms of deep brain stimulation (DBS) are still an active area of investigation, in spite of its clinical successes. This is […]

Prophage rates in the human microbiome vary by body site and host health.

Posted by klaurent UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Laura K Inglis, Michael J. Roach and Robert A Edwards | Summary: Phages integrated into a bacterial genome–called prophages–continuously monitor the health of the host bacteria to determine when to escape the genome, protect their host from other phage infections, and may provide genes that promote bacterial growth. Prophages […]

Gravity of gluonic fluctuations and the value of the cosmological constant

Posted by Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Craig Hogan | First 5 Authors: Kris Mackewicz, Craig Hogan, , , | Summary: We analyze the classical linear gravitational effect of idealized pion-like dynamical systems, consisting of light quarks connected by attractive gluonic material with a stress-energy $p=-rho c^2$ in one or more dimensions. In one orbit of a system of total […]

Engineering cubic quantum nondemolition Hamiltonian with mesoscopic optical parametric interactions

Posted by Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Ryotatsu Yanagimoto, Rajveer Nehra, Edwin Ng, Alireza Marandi, Hideo Mabuchi | Summary: We propose a scheme to realize cubic quantum nondemolition (QND) Hamiltonian with optical parametric interactions. We show that strongly squeezed fundamental and second harmonic fields propagating in a $chi^{(2)}$ nonlinear medium effectively evolve under a […]
