Catching Relativity Violations with Atoms

A Viewpoint on: Atom interferometry tests of local Lorentz invariance in gravity and electrodynamics Keng-Yeow Chung, Sheng-wey Chiow, Sven Herrmann, Steven Chu and Holger Müller Phys. Rev. D 80, 016002 (2009) – Published July 6, 2009

The first operation and results of the Chung-Li VHF radar

The Chung-Li Very High Frequency (VHF) radar is used in the dual-mode operations, applying Doppler beam-swinging as well as the spaced-antenna-drift method. The design of the VHF radar is examined. Results of performance tests are discussed

The detection of a strong episignature for Chung–Jansen syndrome, partially overlapping with Börjeson–Forssman–Lehmann and White–Kernohan syndromes

Chung-Jansen syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by intellectual disability, behavioral problems, obesity and dysmorphic features. It is caused by pathogenic variants in the PHIP gene that encodes for the Pleckstrin homology domain-interacting protein, which is part of an epigenetic modifier protein complex. Therefore, we hypothesized that PHIP haploinsufficiency may impact genome-wide DNA methylation (DNAm). We assessed the DNAm profiles of affected individuals with pathogenic and likely pathogenic PHIP variants with Infinium Methylation EPIC arrays and report a specific and sensitive DNAm episignature biomarker for Chung–Jansen syndrome. In addition, we observed similarities between the methylation profile of Chung–Jansen syndrome and that of functionally related and clinically partially overlapping genetic disorders, White–Kernohan syndrome (caused by variants in DDB1 gene) and Börjeson–Forssman–Lehmann syndrome (caused by variants in PHF6 gene). Based on these observations we also proceeded to develop a common episignature biomarker for these disorders. These newly defined episignatures can be used as part of a multiclass episignature classifier for screening of affected individuals with rare disorders and interpretation of genetic variants of unknown clinical significance, and provide further insights into the common molecular pathophysiology of the clinically-related Chung–Jansen, Börjeson–Forssman–Lehmann and White–Kernohan syndromes.</p

Chung Wing Kwong : legendary educator in China\u27s new learning

Dr. Chung Wing Kwong, the first Chinese President of Lingnan University, had profound contribution to the development of Lingnan University. In commemorating Dr. Chung through this publication, the book chronicled the history of Lingnan University in the early days in Guangzhou between 1901-1942. This is the English translation of The Biography of Chung Wing Kwong (鍾榮光先生傳) which was first published in January 1967 by 楊華日 under the support given by the Chung Wing Kwong Biography Editorial Committee of Lingnan University Alumni Association. Publication of this English edition, edited by Dr. Lee, Sui Ming, and translated jointly with Dr. Emily Hill, is supported by the Lingnan (University) College Educational Development and Research Foundation.https://commons.ln.edu.hk/cwk_book/1000/thumbnail.jp

Novel role for the LKB1 pathway in controlling monocarboxylate fuel transporters

A question preoccupying many researchers is how signal transduction pathways control metabolic processes and energy production. A study by Jang et al. (Jang, C., G. Lee, and J. Chung. 2008. J. Cell Biol. 183:11–17) provides evidence that in Drosophila melanogaster a signaling network controlled by the LKB1 tumor suppressor regulates trafficking of an Sln/dMCT1 monocarboxylate transporter to the plasma membrane. This enables cells to import additional energy sources such as lactate and butyrate, enhancing the repertoire of fuels they can use to power vital activities

Atom gravimeters and gravitational redshift

In a recent paper, H. Mueller, A. Peters and S. Chu [A precision measurement of the gravitational redshift by the interference of matter waves, Nature 463, 926-929 (2010)] argued that atom interferometry experiments published a decade ago did in fact measure the gravitational redshift on the quantum clock operating at the very high Compton frequency associated with the rest mass of the Caesium atom. In the present Communication we show that this interpretation is incorrect.Comment: 2 pages, Brief Communication appeared in Nature (2 September 2010
