Soft modes and mode splitting in paramagnetic TbP§
1980
In contrast to spin-only systems the paramagnetic phases of systems with crystal field split ground multiplets exhibit magnetic excitations of finite energy. In the presence of a magnetic exchange coupling the excitons will propagate through the lattice. A measurement of the dispersion allows in principle an insight into the exchange interaction, which is of fundamental importance for the understanding of the magnetic phenomena. Unfortunately the evolution of the dispersion at low temperatures is in most cases interrupted by the onset of magnetic order due to an alignment of the magnetic moments of the crystal field ground state. A noticeable dispersion of well-defined excitons is only expe…

Identification of Bending Modes of Vibration in Rails by a Laser Doppler Vibrometer on a Moving Platform
2020
This paper introduces a method to identify the bending modes of vibration of railway tracks by using a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) mounted on a moving platform. Two sets of experiments were conducted at Transportation Technology Center Inc. (TTCI) in Pueblo Colorado, in order to validate the proposed method. First, the bending vibration modes were identified using the signals collected from a rail span (rail section between two consecutive sleepers) by accelerometers under moving car excitation. Then, vibration measurements from rail spans were obtained by using an LDV mounted on the moving railcar. All tests were carried out at four different rail car speeds: 8 km/h (5 mph), 16 km/h (10…
Dielectric and electro-optical studies of a ferroelectric copolysiloxane.
1994
This paper reports an extensive study of the static (spontaneous polarization, ${\mathit{P}}_{\mathit{s}}$, tilt angle \ensuremath{\theta}, and pitch) and dynamic properties of a ferroelectric liquid-crystalline polymer. It is shown that a ferroelectric liquid-crystalline polymer (diluted polysiloxane) exhibits physical behavior similar to that of a low-molar-mass liquid crystal in terms of contrast ratio, pitch of the helix, and relationship between ${\mathit{P}}_{\mathit{s}}$ and \ensuremath{\theta}. The degenerated collective modes for the director rotation are shown to split into two modes at the Sm-A--Sm-${\mathit{C}}^{\mathrm{*}}$ phase transition temperature using dielectric spectros…
The Role of Low Complexity Regions in Protein Interaction Modes: An Illustration in Huntingtin
2021
Low complexity regions (LCRs) are very frequent in protein sequences, generally having a lower propensity to form structured domains and tending to be much less evolutionarily conserved than globular domains. Their higher abundance in eukaryotes and in species with more cellular types agrees with a growing number of reports on their function in protein interactions regulated by post-translational modifications. LCRs facilitate the increase of regulatory and network complexity required with the emergence of organisms with more complex tissue distribution and development. Although the low conservation and structural flexibility of LCRs complicate their study, evolutionary studies of proteins …
New modes in non-invasive ventilation
2016
IF 2.536; International audience; Non-invasive ventilation is useful to treat some forms of respiratory failure. Hence, the number of patients receiving this treatment is steadily increasing. Considerable conceptual and technical progress has been made in recent years by manufacturers concerning this technique. This includes new features committed to improve its effectiveness as well as patient-ventilator interactions. The goal of this review is to deal with latest advances in ventilatory modes and features available for non-invasive ventilation. We present a comprehensive analysis of new modes of ventilator assistance committed to treat respiratory failure (hybrid modes) and central and co…
Scattering resonances and Pseudospectrum : stability and completeness aspects in optical and gravitational systems
2022
The general context of this thesis is an effort to establish a bridge between gravitational andoptical physics, specifically in the context of scattering problems using as a guideline concepts andtools taken from the theory of non-self-adjoint operators. Our focus is on Quasi-Normal Modes(QNMs), namely the natural resonant modes of open leaky structures under linear perturbationssubject to outgoing boundary conditions. They also are referred to as scattering resonances.In the conservative self-adjoint case the spectral theorem guarantees the completeness andspectral stability of the associated normal modes. In this sense, a natural question in the non-self-adjoint setting refers to the char…
Local dynamics of DNA probed with optical absorption spectroscopy of bound ethidium bromide
1997
We have studied the local dynamics of calf thymus double-helical DNA by means of an "optical labeling" technique. The study has been performed by measuring the visible absorption band of the cationic dye ethidium bromide, both free in solution and bound to DNA, in the temperature interval 360-30 K and in two different solvent conditions. The temperature dependence of the absorption line shape has been analyzed within the framework of the vibronic coupling theory, to extract information on the dynamic properties of the system; comparison of the thermal behavior of the absorption band of free and DNA-bound ethidium bromide gave information on the local dynamics of the double helix in the prox…
Machine learning-based models to predict modes of toxic action of phenols to Tetrahymena pyriformis.
2017
The phenols are structurally heterogeneous pollutants and they present a variety of modes of toxic action (MOA), including polar narcotics, weak acid respiratory uncouplers, pro-electrophiles, and soft electrophiles. Because it is often difficult to determine correctly the mechanism of action of a compound, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) methods, which have proved their interest in toxicity prediction, can be used. In this work, several QSAR models for the prediction of MOA of 221 phenols to the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena pyriformis, using Chemistry Development Kit descriptors, are reported. Four machine learning techniques (ML), k-nearest neighbours, support vector…
QCD radiative corrections to the soft spectator contribution in the wide angle Compton scattering
2014
We derive the complete factorization formula for the leading power contribution in wide angle Compton scattering. It consists of the soft- and hard-spectator contributions. The hard-spectator contribution is well known and defined in the form of the convolution of a hard kernel with the nucleon distribution amplitudes. The soft-spectator contribution describes the scattering which involves the soft modes. We use the soft collinear effective theory in order to define this term in a field theoretical approach. Using the SCET framework we provide the proof of the factorization formula. We also compute the next-to-leading QCD corrections to the hard coefficient function of the soft spectator co…
