The non-linear evolution of bispectrum from the scale-free N-body simulation
We have accurately measured the bispectrum for four scale-free models of
structure formation with the spectral index , 0, -1, and -2. The
measurement is based on a new method that can effectively eliminate the alias
and numerical artifacts, and reliably extend the analysis into the strongly
non-linear regime. The work makes use of a set of state-of-the art N-body
simulations that have significantly increased the resolution range compared
with the previous studies on the subject. With these measured results, we
demonstrated that the measured bispectrum depends on the shape and size of
-triangle even in the strongly nonlinear regime. It increases with
wavenumber and decreases with the spectral index. These results are in contrast
with the hypothesis that the reduced bispectrum is a constant in the strongly
non-linear regime. We also show that the fitting formula of Scoccimarro &
Frieman (1999) does not describe our simulation results well (with a typical
error about 40 percent). In the end, we present a new fitting formula for the
reduced bispectrum that is valid for with a typical error of
10 percent only.Comment: 33 pages, including 1 table, 14 figures, accepted by Ap

Carbonyl{3,3âČ-di-tert-butyl-5,5âČ-dimethoxy-2,2âČ-bis[(4,4, 5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphospholan-2-yl)oxy]biphenyl-Îș2 P,PâČ}hydrido(triphenylphosphane-ÎșP)rhodium(I) diethyl ether trisolvate
In the title compound, [RhH(C74H68O8P2)(C18H15P)(CO)]·3C4H10O, the CHP3 coordination set at the RhI ion is arranged in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry with the P atoms adopting equatorial coordination sites and the C atom of the carbonyl ligand as well as the H atom adopting the axial sites. The asymmetric unit contains two very similar molecules of the rhodium complex, two half-occupied diethyl ether molecules and further diethyl ether solvent molecules which could not be modelled successfully. Therefore contributions of the latter were removed from the diffraction data using the SQUEEZE procedure in PLATON [Spek (2009). Acta Cryst. D65, 148-155]

A cosmological model in Weyl-Cartan spacetime
We present a cosmological model for early stages of the universe on the basis
of a Weyl-Cartan spacetime. In this model, torsion and
nonmetricity are proportional to the vacuum polarization.
Extending earlier work of one of us (RT), we discuss the behavior of the cosmic
scale factor and the Weyl 1-form in detail. We show how our model fits into the
more general framework of metric-affine gravity (MAG).Comment: 19 pages, 5 figures, typos corrected, uses IOP style fil
Stick, Flick, Click: DNA-guided Fluorescent Labeling of Long RNA for Single-molecule FRET
Exploring the spatiotemporal dynamics of biomolecules on a single-molecule level requires innovative ways to make them spectroscopically visible. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) uses a pair of organic dyes as reporters to measure distances along a predefined biomolecular reaction coordinate. For this nanoscopic ruler to work, the fluorescent labels need to be coupled onto the molecule of interest in a bioorthogonal and site-selective manner. Tagging large non-coding RNAs with single-nucleotide precision is an open challenge. Here we summarize current strategies in labeling riboswitches and ribozymes for fluorescence spectroscopy and FRET in particular. A special focus lies on our recently developed, DNA-guided approach that inserts two fluorophores through a stepwise process of templated functionality transfer and click chemistry
Precision Measurement of the 29Si, 33S, and 36Cl Binding Energies
The binding energies of 29Si, 33S, and 36Cl have been measured with a
relative uncertainty using a flat-crystal spectrometer.
The unique features of these measurements are 1) nearly perfect crystals whose
lattice spacing is known in meters, 2) a highly precise angle scale that is
derived from first principles, and 3) a gamma-ray measurement facility that is
coupled to a high flux reactor with near-core source capability. The binding
energy is obtained by measuring all gamma-rays in a cascade scheme connecting
the capture and ground states. The measurements require the extension of
precision flat-crystal diffraction techniques to the 5 to 6 MeV energy region,
a significant precision measurement challenge. The binding energies determined
from these gamma-ray measurements are consistent with recent highly accurate
atomic mass measurements within a relative uncertainty of .
The gamma-ray measurement uncertainties are the dominant contributors to the
uncertainty of this consistency test. The measured gamma-ray energies are in
agreement with earlier precision gamma-ray measurements.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure

Implementing Zn2+ ion and pH-value control into artificial mussel glue proteins by abstracting a His-rich domain from preCollagen
A His-rich domain of preCollagen-D found in byssal threads is derivatized with Cys and Dopa flanks to allow for mussel-inspired polymerization. Artificial mussel glue proteins are accessed that combine cysteinyldopa for adhesion with sequences for pH or Zn2+ induced ÎČ-sheet formation. The artificial constructs show strong adsorption to Al2O3, the resulting coatings tolerate hypersaline conditions and cohesion is improved by activating the ÎČ-sheet formation, that enhances E-modulus up to 60%.Peer Reviewe
Lippen-Kiefer-Gaumen-Spalten: Individuelle Analyse der Lippenspalte durch 3-D-Lasertopometrie
Zusammenfassung: Hintergrund: Mit Gipsmodellen und Fotografien ist die dreidimensionale Analyse einer Lippen-Kiefer-Gaumen-Spalte meist nur unzureichend möglich. Ziel der vorliegenden Studie war es daher, die 3-D-Lasertopometrie auf ihre Anwendbarkeit zur dreidimensionalen Weichgewebserfassung bei Patienten mit Lippen-Kiefer-Gaumen-Spalten zu testen. Patienten und Methode: Bei 20âŻPatienten (3-35âŻJahre), die eine einseitige, nicht operierte Lippen-, Lippen-Kiefer- oder Lippen-Kiefer-Gaumen-Spalte aufwiesen, wurde mit einem 3-D-Laserscanner die GesichtsoberflĂ€che prĂ€- und postoperativ dreidimensional erfasst. Die dabei erzeugten digitalen DatensĂ€tze wurden in einer virtuellen Umgebung metrisch analysiert und anhand von Quotienten gröĂenunabhĂ€ngig wiedergegeben. Sie dienten der Auswahl der Operationstechnik und der Beurteilung des Operationsergebnisses. Ergebnisse: Mit dem 3-D-Laserscanner wurden 3-D-OberflĂ€chen guter QualitĂ€t erstellt, die sich im Millimeterbereich ausmessen lieĂen. Die dreidimensionale Spaltmorphologie konnte in den DatensĂ€tzen reproduzierbar mit Landmarks versehen und vermessen werden. Auch die postoperative Symmetrie lieĂ sich so kontrollieren und objektivieren. Als nachteilig erwiesen sich die relativ lange Messzeit und die Notwendigkeit zur Kombination mehrerer Ansichten. Schlussfolgerung: Das vorgestellte 3-D-Laserverfahren ermöglicht eine prĂ€zise dreidimensionale Weichteilanalyse der Lippen- und Nasenregion bei Spaltpatienten. Es eignet sich jedoch nur bedingt fĂŒr lebhafte SĂ€uglinge und unkooperative Patiente
