COUP-TF-like receptors (nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on Nuclear Hormone Receptors [7, 2]) have yet to be officially paired with an endogenous ligand.

The simulation of the interaction between macroscopic Alfvén modes and a population of hot ions is one of the challenges in tokamak plasma physics, mainly because of its possible negative impact on the plasma confinement in a future fusion device. The bi-fluid XTOR-2F code [1], using a fully implicit method with an iterative pre-conditioned Newton-Krylov for its solution at every time step has ...

We have isolated Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains from the feces of feral pigeons which contained a new Stx2 variant gene designated stx(2f). This gene is most similar to sltIIva of patient E. coli O128:B12 isolate H.I.8. Stx2f reacted only weakly with commercial immunoassays. The prevalence of STEC organisms carrying the stx(2f) gene in pigeon droppings was 12.5%. Th...

We experimentally demonstrate that small misalignments of the pulse stretcher or compressor of our chirped-pulse-amplification laser can precompensate for angular chirp when producing ultrashort paraxial beam modes with holographic gratings. Using this approach we can eliminate one of the two gratings needed in our 2f-2f setup [Mariyenko, Opt. Express 13, 7599 (2005)]. This allows for up to an ...

We experimentally created a femtosecond optical vortex using a pair of computer-synthesized holographic gratings arranged in a 2f - 2f optical setup. We present measurements showing that the resulting donut mode is free of spatial chirp, and support this finding with an analysis of the optical wave propagation through our system based on the Kirchhoff-Fresnel diffraction integral. An interferog...

The Fredrickson-Andersen 2-spin facilitated model on $${{\mathbb {Z}}} ^d$$ (FA-2f) is a paradigmatic interacting particle system with kinetic constraints (KCM) featuring dynamical facilitation, an important mechanism in condensed matter physics. In FA-2f site may change its state only if at least two of nearest neighbours are empty. Although the process reversible w.r.t. product Bernoulli meas...

The quadratic for...

We demonstrate a general method to measure the quantum state of an angular momentum of arbitrary magnitude. The 2F 1 1 3 2F 1 1 density matrix is completely determined from a set of SternGerlach measurements with 4F 1 1 different orientations of the quantization axis. We implement the protocol for laser cooled Cesium atoms in the 6S1 2 F 4 hyperfine ground state and apply it to a variety of tes...
