Measuring protein dynamics in the plasma membrane can provide insights into the mechanisms of receptor signaling and other cellular functions. To quantify protein dynamics on the single molecule level over the entire cell surface, sophisticated approaches such as single particle tracking (SPT), photo-activation localization microscopy (PALM) and fluctuation-based analysis have been developed. H...

Studies of normal human subjects have shown that prolactin (PRL) as well as thyrotropin (TSH) are secreted in pulsatile fashion. This study was designed to investigate whether or not these two hormones are secreted synchronously. Ten postmenopausal women who had had amenorrhea for at least 3 years and 2 women who had been ovariectomized 3 and 5 years before and were between 35 approximately 60 ...

In this paper measurements of short wavelength electron density fluctuations using collective scattering of infrared light are presented. The Wendelstein 7-AS (W7-AS) stellarator (Renner H et al 1989 Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 31 1579) and the diagnostic are briefly described. A series of plasma discharges with reproducible confinement transitions was created by ramping up the plasma current....

Med., 1981;, 134 (3), 321-330 A 48-year-old man who showed a regular diurnal fluctuation of blood ammonia level was diagnosed as adult-type citrullinemia with quantitative estimation of plasma amino acids and urea cycle enzymes in the liver. The restriction of daily prote...

The self-focusing/defocusing of Hermite-sinh-Gaussian (HshG) laser beam in underdense inhomogeneous plasmas is studied by using higher-order approximation theory. It found that Hermite mode index and the fluctuation periodic plasma density have a significant effect on dielectric constant self-focusing/self-defocusing. With increase index, high-order HshG beneficial to suppress self-focusing enh...

We compute Schwinger-Keldysh effective action for a relativistic heavy quark (with constant background velocity) in strongly coupled $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma. The holographic dual description involves noisy trailing string moving Schwarzschild-${\mathrm{AdS}}_{5}$ black brane. noise is caused by Hawking radiation emitted from world sheet horizon. Besides quadratic terms,...

Femtosecond hard X-ray pulses generated by laser-driven plasma sources are eminently suitable to probe structural dynamics due the angstrom spatial resolution and sub-picosecond time resolution. However, insufficient flux of photons high pulse-to-pulse instability compared with large-scale ultrashort source, such as free-electron laser synchrotrons, largely restricts its applications. In this w...

Linear Properties and nonlinear frequency chirping of energetic particle driven geodesic acoustic mode (EGAM) is investigated using a hybrid simulation code for energetic particles interacting with a magnetohydrodynamic fluid. It is found that the EGAM is a global mode with the spatially uniform oscillation frequency. The poloidal mode numbers of poloidal velocity fluctuation, plasma density fl...

Collective excitations in simple metal systems can be described successfully in terms of a local one-body excitation operator Q, due to the long range nature of the coulomb interaction. For the plasmon modes of a simple-metal slab, momentum expansions of Q are calculated using a variational procedure, equivalent to a restricted RPA calculation. The dispersion relation and the density fluctuatio...

Interaction of incompressible and compressible MHD fluctuations on a one-dimensional plasma inhomogeneity, transverse to the magnetic field, is considered in the three-dimensional regime. An initially incompressible (Alfvénic) MHD fluctuation generates, by linear coupling, compressible (magnetoacoustic) fluctuations. In the initial stage of the interaction, the efficiency of the coupling is enh...
