We experimentally study the optical- and terahertz-induced rotational dynamics of asymmetric molecules in the gas phase. Terahertz and optical fields are identified as two distinct control handles over asymmetric molecules, as they couple to the rotational degrees of freedom via the molecular dipole and polarizability selectively. The distinction between those two rotational handles is highligh...

In Eddington gravity, the action principle involves only symmetric parts of connection and Ricci tensor, with a metric that emerges proportionally to latter. Here, we relax this character, prolong antisymmetric term, allow for various couplings scalar fields. We propose two possible invariant actions formed by distinct combinations independent tensors show generated must involve an additional p...

Equivalent fields are frequently used for central axis depth-dose calculations of rectangular and irregular shaped photon beam. Since most of the proposed models to calculate the equivalent square field, are dosimetry-based, a simple physical-based method to calculate the equivalent square field size was used as the basis of this study. The table of the sides of the equivalent square for rectan...

Ring diagram analysis can be used to study large scale velocity fields in the outer part of the solar convection zone. All previous works assume that the peak profiles in the solar oscillation power spectrum are symmetric. However, it has now been demonstrated that the peaks are not symmetric. In this work we study how the explicit use of asymmetric peak profiles in ring-diagram analysis influe...

Soft entities can be deformed by Poiseuille flows in thin microfluidic channels. Exploiting this phenomenon, we show that red blood cells exhibit a deformation-induced actuation when being subjected to asymmetric periodic flow fields, whereas rigid beads vanishing net drift.
