Dynamical phase shift in x ray absorption and ionization spectra by two delayed x ray laser fields
We study theoretically x ray absorption and ionization spectra of an atom or molecule by two coherent x ray pulses that show a relative phase shift resulting in a time delay of the pulse envelopes. We demonstrate that the phase modulation of the spectra is shifted with respect to the phase oscillation comb of the x ray double pulse. The reason for this shift is the dynamics of the process defined by the interplay of the delay time, the pulse width, the detuning, and the lifetime of the core excited stat
Thomson-resonant Interference Effects in Elastic X-ray Scattering Near the Cl K Edge of HCl
We experimentally observed interference effects in elastic x-ray scattering from gas-phase HCl in the vicinity of the Cl K edge. Comparison to theory identifies these effects as interference effects between non-resonant elastic Thomson scattering and resonant Raman scattering. The results indicate the non-resonant Thomson and resonant Raman contributions are of comparable strength. The measurements also exhibit strong polarization dependence, allowing an easy identification of the resonant and non-resonant contributions
myKaryoView: A Light-Weight Client for Visualization of Genomic Data
The Distributed Annotation System (DAS) is a protocol for easy sharing and integration of biological annotations. In order to visualize feature annotations in a genomic context a client is required. Here we present myKaryoView, a simple light-weight DAS tool for visualization of genomic annotation. myKaryoView has been specifically configured to help analyse data derived from personal genomics, although it can also be used as a generic genome browser visualization. Several well-known data sources are provided to facilitate comparison of known genes and normal variation regions. The navigation experience is enhanced by simultaneous rendering of different levels of detail across chromosomes. A simple interface is provided to allow searches for any SNP, gene or chromosomal region. User-defined DAS data sources may also be added when querying the system. We demonstrate myKaryoView capabilities for adding user-defined sources with a set of genetic profiles of family-related individuals downloaded directly from 23andMe. myKaryoView is a web tool for visualization of genomic data specifically designed for direct-to-consumer genomic data that uses publicly available data distributed throughout the Internet. It does not require data to be held locally and it is capable of rendering any feature as long as it conforms to DAS specifications. Configuration and addition of sources to myKaryoView can be done through the interface. Here we show a proof of principle of myKaryoView's ability to display personal genomics data with 23andMe genome data sources. The tool is available at: http://mykaryoview.com
X-ray absorption and resonant Auger spectroscopy of O2 in the vicinity of the O 1s→σ* resonance: Experiment and theory
Haematopoietic stem cell migration to the ischemic damaged kidney is not altered by manipulating the SDF-1/CXCR4-axis
Background. Haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) have been shown to migrate to the ischemic kidney. The factors that regulate the trafficking of HSC to the ischemic damaged kidney are not fully understood. The stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1)/CXCR4-axis has been identified as the central signalling axis regulating trafficking of HSC to the bone marrow. Therefore, we hypothesized that SDF-1/CXCR4 interactions are implicated in the migration of HSC to the injured kidney
Challenges of beta-deformation
A brief review of problems, arising in the study of the beta-deformation,
also known as "refinement", which appears as a central difficult element in a
number of related modern subjects: beta \neq 1 is responsible for deviation
from free fermions in 2d conformal theories, from symmetric omega-backgrounds
with epsilon_2 = - epsilon_1 in instanton sums in 4d SYM theories, from
eigenvalue matrix models to beta-ensembles, from HOMFLY to super-polynomials in
Chern-Simons theory, from quantum groups to elliptic and hyperbolic algebras
etc. The main attention is paid to the context of AGT relation and its possible
generalizations.Comment: 20 page
Electromagnetic wave propagation in rain and polarization effects
This paper summarizes our study on microwave and millimeter-wave propagation in rain with special emphasis on the effects of polarization. Starting from a recount of our past findings, we will discuss developments with these and how they are connected with subsequent research
Electronic Doppler effect in resonant Auger decay of CO molecules upon excitation near a shake-up Π resonance
Selective gating to vibrational modes through resonant X ray scattering
The dynamics of fragmentation and vibration of molecular systems with a large number of coupled degrees of freedom are key aspects for understanding chemical reactivity and properties. Here we present a resonant inelastic X ray scattering RIXS study to show how it is possible to break down such a complex multidimensional problem into elementary components. Local multimode nuclear wave packets created by X ray excitation to different core excited potential energy surfaces PESs will act as spatial gates to selectively probe the particular ground state vibrational modes and, hence, the PES along these modes. We demonstrate this principle by combining ultra high resolution RIXS measurements for gas phase water with state of the art simulation
