The possibility of using the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) mobile universal surface explorer (MOUSE) to study underpaintings is validated. depth sensitivity EPR MOUSE measured an standard, and verified three pigments in acrylic binder under opaque layers titanium white lead white. ability distinguish identify two signal-bearing shown pairwise sets ultramarine, Egyptian, Han blue binder....

This paper describes the usage patterns of the ThreadedComposite actor in Ptolemy II. This actor enables the execution of opaque actors (atomic actors or composite actors with directors) in a separate thread, thus providing multithreading for models of computation that are not already multthreaded. It can be used to execute an actor in the background, to execute multiple actors in parallel (e.g...

Nucleosome destabilization by histone variants and modifications has been implicated in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression, with the histone variant H2A.Z and acetylation of H3K56 (H3K56ac) being two examples. Here we find that deletion of SWR1, the major subunit of the SWR1 complex depositing H2A.Z into chromatin in exchange for H2A, promotes epigenetic white-opaque switching in Cand...

The polymorphic commensal fungus Candida albicans causes life-threatening disease via bloodstream and intra-abdominal infections in immunocompromised and transplant patients. Although host immune evasion is a common strategy used by successful human fungal pathogens, C. albicans provokes recognition by host immune cells less capable of destroying it. To accomplish this, C. albicans white cells ...

We demonstrate the first reflection-based epi-illumination diffraction phase microscope with white light (epi-wDPM). The epi-wDPM system combines the off-axis, common-path, and white light approaches, in a reflection geometry enabling sub-nanometer spatial and temporal noise levels, while providing single-shot acquisition for opaque samples. We verified the epi-wDPM results by measuring control...
