Enlarged Galilean symmetry of anyons and the Hall effect
Enlarged planar Galilean symmetry, built of both space-time and field
variables and also incorporating the ``exotic'' central extension is
introduced. It is used to describe non-relativistic anyons coupled to an
electromagnetic field. Our theory exhibits an anomalous velocity relation of
the type used to explain the Anomalous Hall Effect. The Hall motions,
characterized by a Casimir of the enlarged algebra, become mandatory for some
critical value(s) of the magnetic field. The extension of our scheme yields the
semiclassical effective model of the Bloch electron.Comment: LaTeX, 7 pages. No figures. One more reference adde
Vinculin expression in MC3T3-E1 cells in response to mechanical stimulus
Loading frequency is known to influence the expression of the focal adhesions of the adherent cells. A small cyclical tensile force was transmitted to mouse pre-osteoblast MC3T3-E1 cells through PDMS substrates of varying stiffness. Changes in cell behavior with respect to proliferation and characteristics of focal adhesions were quantified through immunofluorescence labeling of vinculin. Amount of inactive vinculin was higher on substrates subjected to cyclic stimulation when compared with the results of the static substrates, whereas the number and area of focal adhesion points underwent a reduction. Inactive vinculin appears as a cloud in the cytoplasm in the vicinity of the nucleus. Keywords: MC3T3-E1 Cells, Mechanical Stimulus, Focal Adhesions, Vinculi
