Magneto-acoustic rotation of transverse waves in 3He-B

In superfluid 3He-B the off-resonant coupling of the J=2-, M=+/- 1 order parameter collective modes to transverse current excitations stabilizes propagating transverse waves with low damping for frequencies above that of the J=2- modes. Right- (RCP) and left circularly polarized (LCP) transverse modes are degenerate in zero field; however, a magnetic field with H || q lifts this degeneracy giving rise to the acoustic analog of circular birefringence and an acoustic Faraday effect for linearly polarized transverse sound waves. We present theoretical results for the temperature, pressure and field dependence of the Faraday rotation angle, and compare the theory with recent measurements. The analysis provides a direct measurement of the Lande' g-factor for the J=2- modes, and new information on the magnitude of f-wave pairing correlations in 3He-B.Comment: Submitted to Physica B (Proc.

K voprosu o peredače prjamoj reči v chudožestvennom tekste (M.Ju.Lermontov)

On the representation of direct discourse in the artistic text (M. Iu. Lermontov) In her book Intonation in the Artistic Text N. D. Svetozarova presented an impressive quantity of material, as well as a refined categorization of this extremely interesting aspect of the artistic text — the occurrence and the specifi c forms of representation of features of intonation, tone, manner of speaking of literary characters. Thus her book has become an important contribution to contemporary narratology as well, especially with regard to the problem of the relationship between the narrator’s discourse and the discourse of literary characters. In her book the author also discusses the frequency and functions of this phenomenon in the works of different authors and in different literary periods. The present article aims to add to the findings of N. D. Svetozarova; a brief outline is given of the occurrence and roles of this phenomenon in the period 1790-1840. Special attention is given to Lermontov

Personalized medicine with biologics for severe type 2 asthma : current status and future prospects

Asthma affects more than 300 million people worldwide and poses a large socioeconomic burden, particularly in the 5% to 10% of severe asthmatics. So far, each entry of new biologics in clinical trials has led to high expectations for treating all severe asthma forms, but the outcome has only been successful if the biologic, as add-on treatment, targeted specific patient subgroups. Indeed, we now realize that asthma is a heterogeneous disease with multiple phenotypes, based on distinct pathophysiological mechanisms, called endotypes. Thus, asthma therapy is gradually moving to a personalized medicine approach, tailored to individual's asthma endotypes identified through biomarkers. Here, we review the clinical efficacy of antibody-related therapeutics undergoing clinical trials, or those already approved, for the treatment of severe type 2 asthma. Biologics targeting type 2 cytokines have shown consistent efficacy, especially in patients with evidence of type 2 inflammation, suggesting that the future of asthma biologics is promising

Curved Space-Filling Tiles Using Voronoi Decomposition with Line, and Curve Segments Closed Under Wallpaper Symmetries

In this paper, we present a new approach to obtain symmetric tiles with curved edges. Our approach is based on using higher-order Voronoi sites that are closed under wallpaper symmetries. The resulting Voronoi tessellations provide us with symmetric tiles with curved edges. We have developed a web application that provides real-time tile design. Our application can be found at https://voronoi.viz.tamu.edu. One of our key findings in this paper is that not all symmetry operations are useful for creating curved tiles. In particular, all symmetries that use mirror operation produce straight lines that are useless for creating new tiles. This result is interesting because it suggests that we need to avoid mirror transformations to produce unusual space-filling tiles in 2D and 3D using Voronoi tessellations.Comment: 1
