We derived and solved the compositeness condition in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model at the next-to-leading order in 1/N , and obtained the expressions for the effective coupling constants in terms of the compositeness scale. In the NJL model with a scalar composite, the next to leading contributions are too large for N = 3. In the induced gauge theory with abelian gauge symmetry, the correction t...

This report demonstrates that a single set of identical synthetic multifunctional pores can detect the activity of many different enzymes. Enzymes catalyzing either synthesis or degradation of DNA (exonuclease III or polymerase I), RNA (RNase A), polysaccharides (heparinase I, hyaluronidase, and galactosyltransferase), and proteins (papain, ficin, elastase, subtilisin, and pronase) are selected...

A new multiplexed NIR in vivo imaging is showcased by using quantum dots and NaYF(4):Yb(3+),Tm(3+) nanoparticles. The 'temporal' multiplexing is demonstrated by alternating the excitation wavelengths and unmixing the emissions of different probes. Multiplexed cellular imaging and the cellular trafficking in animal models are shown.

We study bicolored configurations of points in the Euclidean $n$-space that are constrained to remain either inside or outside a fixed $m$-subspace, with $n - m \ge 2$. define higher-codimensional variant Swiss-Cheese operad, called complementarily disks operad $\mathsf{CD}_{mn}$, associated such configurations. The $\mathsf{CD}_{mn}$ is weakly equivalent locally constant factorization algebras...

Metal additive manufacturing (AM) has several similarities to conventional metal manufacturing, such as welding and cladding. During the process, both AM experience repeated partial melting cooling, referred deposition. Owing deposition, welded products often share common product quality issues, layer misalignment, dimensional errors, residual stress generation. This paper comprehensively revie...

BACKGROUND The cyanobacterial circadian program exerts genome-wide control of gene expression. KaiC undergoes rhythms of phosphorylation that are regulated by interactions with KaiA and KaiB. The phosphorylation status of KaiC is thought to mediate global transcription via output factors SasA, CikA, LabA, RpaA, and RpaB. Overexpression of kaiC has been reported to globally repress gene expressi...
