We explore the archetype problem of an escape dynamics occurring in a symmetric double well potential when the Brownian particle is driven by white Lévy noise in a dynamical regime where inertial effects can safely be neglected. The behavior of escaping trajectories from one well to another is investigated by pointing to the special character that underpins the noise-induced discontinuity which...

Dialysate sodium and ultrafiltration profiling are two methods to reduce symptoms during hemodialysis. The objective of the study was to determine the efficacy of combining these techniques to reduce symptoms in chronic hemodialysis patients. Blood volume changes were measured to determine whether any benefit of profiling could be explained through this mechanism. Patients were randomized to pr...

The skin vasculature ensures local homeostasis and plays an essential role in inflammatory diseases. Tortuous dilated vessels are one of the hallmarks psoriasis; however, how they participate psoriatic pathogenesis remains unclear. Here, we profiled single-cell transcriptomes vascular endothelial cells (ECs) from healthy discovered heterogeneity ECs signaling pathways immune responses. Pseudoti...

Infrared photo detectors have vast and promising applications in military,industrial and other fields. In this paper, we present a method for improving theperformance of an infrared photodetector based on an InSb substance. To achieve goodperformance at high temperatures, thermal noise and intrusive currents should bereduced. For this purpose, a five-layer hetero structu...

We consider the deterministic escape dynamics of a chain of coupled oscillators under microcanonical conditions from a metastable state over a cubic potential barrier. The underlying dynamics is conservative and noise free. We introduce a two-dimensional chain model and assume that neighboring units are coupled by Morse springs. It is found that, starting from a homogeneous lattice state, due t...

Al/AlOx/Al Josephson junctions are the building blocks of a wide range of superconducting quantum devices that are key elements for quantum computers, extremely sensitive magnetometers and radiation detectors. The properties of the junctions and the superconducting quantum devices are determined by the atomic structure of the tunnel barrier. The nanoscale dimension and disordered nature of the ...

Stochastic micro-patterns successfully enhance the realism of virtual scenes. Procedural models using noise combined with transfer functions are extremely efficient. However, most patterns produced today employ 1D functions, which assign color, transparency, or other material attributes, based solely on single scalar quantity noise. Multi-dimensional have received widespread attention in fields...
