work that we refer to as quantum signal processing (QSP) [1] that is aimed at developing new or modifying existing signal processing algorithms by borrowing from the principles of quantum mechanics and some of its interesting axioms and constraints. However, in contrast to such fields as quantum computing and quantum information theory, it does not inherently depend on the physics associated wi...

The conformations of a series of anhydrous sodiated polyalanine ions ([Alan 1 3Na] , where n 5 18–36) have been examined in the gas phase by ion mobility measurements and molecular modeling simulations. The experimental results indicate that these ions exist as highly extended conformations. There is no strong evidence for a folded state, observed previously for a series of analogous protonated...

The adverse effects of excessive use of artificial light at night (ALAN) are becoming increasingly evident and associated with several health problems including cancer. Results of epidemiological studies revealed that the increase in breast cancer incidents co-distribute with ALAN worldwide. There is compiling evidence that suggests that melatonin suppression is linked to ALAN-induced cancer ri...

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is one of the most obvious hallmarks of human presence in an ecosystem. The rapidly increasing use of artificial light has fundamentally transformed nightscapes throughout most of the globe, although little is known about how ALAN impacts the biodiversity and food webs of illuminated ecosystems. We developed a large-scale experimental infrastructure to study the...
