Quantum-classical correspondence in circularly polarized high harmonic generation

Using numerical simulations, we show that atomic high order harmonic generation, HHG, with a circularly polarized laser field offers an ideal framework for quantum-classical correspondence in strong field physics. With an appropriate initialization of the system, corresponding to a superposition of ground and excited state(s), simulated HHG spectra display a narrow strip of strong harmonic radiation preceded by a gap of missing harmonics in the lower part of the spectrum. In specific regions of the spectra, HHG tends to lock to circularly polarized harmonic emission. All these properties are shown to be closely related to a set of key classical periodic orbits that organize the recollision dynamics in an intense, circularly polarized field

Türkiye’de Organik Bal Üretiminin Yıllara Göre Değişiminin Regresyon Analizi ile İncelenmesi Üzerine Bir Çalışma

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de 2004-2016 yılları arasındaki organik bal üretimdeki değişimler regresyon analizi ile incelenmiştir. Regresyon analizinde, lineer, kuadratik, kübik, logaritmik ve ters regresyon modelleri karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenmiştir. Bu modeller ile elde edilen R2 değerleri sırasıyla; 0,16; 0,62; 0,70; 0,37; 0,52, R ̅^2 değerleri 0,08; 0,54; 0.60; 0.31; 0.48 ve hata kareler ortalaması (HKO) değerleri 48743,01; 24376,61; 21228,61; 36580,48; 27563,47 olarak bulunmuştur. Parametre tahminleri anlamlı bulunan, R ̅^2 değeri en yüksek ve HKO değeri en düşük olan kuadratik regresyon modeli en uygun model olmuştur. Bu regresyon modeline göre, 2017 ve 2018 yıllarında organik bal üretim miktarının sırasıyla; 693 ve 891 ton olacağı tahmin edilmiştir. Ayrıca, aynı dönem içinde organik olmayan bal üretiminin regresyon analizi de yapılmış ve lineer regresyon modeli en uygun model olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu model için R2=0,77 ve R ̅^2=0,75 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, organik ve organik olmayan bal üretim miktarlarının farklı regresyon modelleri ile tahmin edilebileceği kanısına varılmıştır

Green Currents for Meromorphic Maps of Compact K\"ahler Manifolds

We consider the dynamics of meromorphic maps of compact K\"ahler manifolds. In this work, our goal is to locate the non-nef locus of invariant classes and provide necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of Green currents in codimension one.Comment: Statement of Theorem 1.5 is slightly improved. Proposition 5.2 and Theorem 5.3 are adde

Predictive value of admission red cell distribution width-platelet ratio for no-reflow phenomenon in acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention

Background: The red cell distribution width–platelet ratio (RPR), a novel inflammatory marker is currently used to predict inflammation in chronic diseases. It may be associated with adverse outcomes among artery disease but its prognostic value in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been fully investigated. There is no data regarding the association between RPR and in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). This study evaluated the relations between pre-procedural RPR and the in-hospital and long-term outcomes in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI. Methods: This study included 580 STEMI patients (77% men, mean age: 59 ± 12 years). The patients were divided into two groups according to thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grades after primary PCI. No-reflow was defined as a post-PCI TIMI flow grade of 0, 1 or 2 (group 1). Angiographic success was defined as TIMI flow grade 3 (group 2). Results: Whole blood cell count, neutrophil and lymphocyte percentages, red cell distribution width, platecrit, neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and RPR values were higher among patients with no-reflow. On multivariate analysis, pain to balloon time, multivessel disease, TIMI thrombus grade, tirofiban, aspirin, previous coronary artery disease, NLR, platecrit and RPR remained independent predictors of no-reflow after primary PCI. Patients in no-reflow group tended to be higher percent in-hospital MACE, including nonfatal myocardial infarction and cardiovascular mortality compared to the reflow patients. Conclusions: Admission NLR, platecrit and RPR are independent correlates of no-reflow and in-hospital MACEs among patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI.

TapA acts as specific chaperone in TasA filament formation by strand complementation

Studying mechanisms of bacterial biofilm generation is of vital importance to understanding bacterial cell–cell communication, multicellular cohabitation principles, and the higher resilience of microorganisms in a biofilm against antibiotics. Biofilms of the nonpathogenic, gram-positive soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis serve as a model system with biotechnological potential toward plant protection. Its major extracellular matrix protein components are TasA and TapA. The nature of TasA filaments has been of debate, and several forms, amyloidic and non-Thioflavin T-stainable have been observed. Here, we present the three-dimensional structure of TapA and uncover the mechanism of TapA-supported growth of nonamyloidic TasA filaments. By analytical ultracentrifugation and NMR, we demonstrate TapA-dependent acceleration of filament formation from solutions of folded TasA. Solid-state NMR revealed intercalation of the N-terminal TasA peptide segment into subsequent protomers to form a filament composed of β-sandwich subunits. The secondary structure around the intercalated N-terminal strand β0 is conserved between filamentous TasA and the Fim and Pap proteins, which form bacterial type I pili, demonstrating such construction principles in a gram-positive organism. Analogous to the chaperones of the chaperone-usher pathway, the role of TapA is in donating its N terminus to serve for TasA folding into an Ig domain-similar filament structure by donor-strand complementation. According to NMR and since the V-set Ig fold of TapA is already complete, its participation within a filament beyond initiation is unlikely. Intriguingly, the most conserved residues in TasA-like proteins (camelysines) of Bacillaceae are located within the protomer interface

Coming to Terms with Forced Migration: Post-Displacement Restitution of Citizenship Rights in Turkey

During the armed conflict in the Eastern and Southeastern Anatolian regions of Turkey between 1984 and 1999, a large wave of internal displacement took place. In the mid-1990s, national human rights organizations prepared reports to bring to public attention that hundreds of thousands of people had been evicted from their rural homes. However, at that time the displacement did not attract the attention that it deserved from the media and public opinion in Turkey. Most importantly, public institutions did not take any measures to address the problems of internally displaced persons (“IDPs”).Based on an analysis of secondary sources and qualitative fieldwork, this book assesses this phenomenon within a conceptual framework at both national and international levels as well as within the political and socio-economic circumstances specific to Turkey
