Mutations in more than 30 genes affect motility in Caulobacter crescentus. We have determined the chromosomal map locations for 27 genes involved in flagellar morphogenesis (fla), three genes involved in flagellar function (mot), and three genes that have a pleiotropic effect on both motility and bacteriophage resistance (ple). Three multigene clusters have been detected at widely separated chr...

We report on the realization of a magneto-optical trap (MOT) for europium atoms using narrow-line cooling transition with natural linewidth 97 kHz. Our starting point is continuous capturing and optically pumped metastable atoms. have employed simultaneous MOT ground-state The trapped are successively back to ground state then continuously loaded MOT, where up $4.7\times10^7$ captured. A spin-p...

The magneto-optical trap (MOT) is an essential tool for collecting and preparing cold atoms with a wide range of applications. We demonstrate planar-integrated MOT by combining optical grating chip magnetic coil chip. flat simplifies the conventional six-beam configuration down to single laser beam, replaces anti-Helmholtz coils cylindrical geometry. Up ${10}^{6}$ ${}^{87}\mathrm{Rb}$ are trapp...

Recording the fluorescence of a magneto-optical trap (MOT) is standard tool for measuring atom numbers in experiments with ultracold atoms. When trapping few atoms small MOT, emitted increases number discrete steps, which allows to measure single-particle resolution. Achieving such single particle resolution requires stringent minimization stray light from MOT beams, very difficult achieve expe...

MKT-077, a cationic rhodacyanine dye analogue has been under preclinical cancer therapeutical trials because of its selective toxicity to cancer cells. Its cellular targets and mechanism of action remain poorly understood. Here we report that MKT-077 binds to an hsp70 family member, mortalin (mot-2), and abrogates its interactions with the tumor suppressor protein, p53. In cancer cells, but not...

In this paper, we report on the production of a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) of sodium using light–induced desorption as an atomic source. We load about 2 × 10 atoms in a MOT from this source with a ∼ 6 s loading time constant. The MOT lifetime can be kept around 27 s by turning off the desorbing light after loading. We show that the pressure drops down by a factor of 40 in less than 100 ms a...

Multimarginal Optimal Transport (MOT) is the problem of linear programming over joint probability distributions with fixed marginals. A key issue in many applications complexity solving MOT: program has exponential size number marginals k and their support sizes n. recent line work shown that MOT poly(n,k)-time solvable for certain families costs have poly(n,k)-size implicit representations. Ho...

Using a depth camera, the KinectFusion algorithm permits tracking the camera poses and building a dense 3D reconstruction of the environment simultaneously in real-time. We present an extension to this algorithm that allows additionally the concurrent tracking and reconstruction of several moving objects within the perceived environment. This is achieved through an expansion of the GPU processi...

Surface discontinuities are detected in a sequence of images by exploiting physical constraints at early stages in the processing of visual motion. To achieve accurate early discontinuity detection we exploit five physical constraints on the presence of discontinuities: i) the shape of the sum of squared differences (SSD) error surface in the presence of surface discontinuities; G) the change i...
