A novel scheme of transferring cold atoms in a double magneto-optical trap (MOT) system has been experimentally demonstrated. Cold cesium atoms trapped in a vapor-cell MOT are efficiently transferred to an ultrahigh-vacuum (UHV) MOT by a continuous-wave divergent Gaussian transfer laser beam. When large red detuning and moderate intensity are adopted for the transfer laser beam, enhancement of ...

We describe the apparatus of a dark-line two-dimensional (2D) magneto-optical trap (MOT) of (85)Rb cold atoms with high optical depth (OD). Different from the conventional configuration, two (of three) pairs of trapping laser beams in our 2D MOT setup do not follow the symmetry axes of the quadrupole magnetic field: they are aligned with 45° angles to the longitudinal axis. Two orthogonal repum...

Influenza can be transmitted through respirable (small airborne particles), inspirable (intermediate size), direct-droplet-spray, and contact modes. How these modes are affected by features of the virus strain (infectivity, survivability, transferability, or shedding profiles), host population (behavior, susceptibility, or shedding profiles), and environment (host density, surface area to volum...

Le Mot sur le Bout de la Langue (Tip Of the Tongue en anglais), phénomène très étudié par les psycholinguistes, nous a amené nombre d’informations concernant l’organisation du lexique mental. Un locuteur en état de TOT reconnaît instantanément le mot recherché présenté dans une liste. Il en connaît le sens, la forme, les liens avec d’autres mots... Nous présentons ici une étude de développement...

Due to the reasonably acceptable performance of state-of-the-art object detectors, tracking-by-detection is a standard strategy for visual multi-object tracking (MOT). In particular, online MOT is more demanding due to its diverse applications in time-critical situations. A main issue of realizing online MOT is how to associate noisy object detection results on a new frame with previously being...

Fey’s Method of Transport (MoT ) is a multidimensional flux-vector-splitting scheme for systems of conservation laws. Similarly to its one-dimensional forerunner, the Steger–Warming scheme, and several other upwind finite-difference schemes, the MoT suffers from an inconsistency at sonic points when used with piecewise-constant reconstructions. This inconsistency is due to a cell-centered evolu...

The intercombination line of Strontium at 689nm is successfully used in laser cooling to reach the photon recoil limit with Doppler cooling in a magneto-optical traps (MOT). In this paper we present a systematic study of the loading efficiency of such a MOT. Comparing the experimental results to a simple model allows us to discuss the actual limitation of our apparatus. We also study in detail ...

Myositis ossificans traumatica (MOT) is a rare heterotopic ossification disease which rarely occurs in masticatory muscles and thus, only 28 cases have been reported in the English literature since 2001. We present an unusual long-term case of MOT in temporalis muscle. The treatment protocol involved a radical lesion resection and bilateral coronoidectomy. According to the literature review, th...
