Dynamical properties of two coupled quantum cavities with single-mode amplification.

Coupled optical cavities provide one of the simplest possible schemes to engineer the interaction of bosonic modes. This paper investigates a two-mode model where, in addition to the usual mode coupling, the presence of an amplification term associated to one of the modes triggers an unexpectedly rich dynamical scenario. The resulting nontrivial model is diagonalized by implementing the dynamical-algebra method, a group-theoretic approach which allows one to determine the stability diagram of the model Hamiltonian in terms of the two mode frequencies for given values of the interaction and amplification parameters.

X-Band Radar System to Detect Bathymetric Changes at River Mouths during Storm Surges: A Case Study of the Arno River.

Storm surges are natural events that influence the dispersion of sediment along coasts, leading to sudden morphological changes in the seabed. From this perspective, we focused our study on the analysis of measurements from a mobile X-band radar system to survey the sea state and the changes in the seabed depth during storm surges. This analysis was supported by additional information from Sentinel 2 satellite images, the , the hydrometric station, and an echosounder survey.

Dasatinib sensitises triple negative breast cancer cells to chemotherapy by targeting breast cancer stem cells.

Background: Patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) exhibit poor prognosis and are at high risk of tumour relapse, due to the resistance to chemotherapy. These aggressive phenotypes are in part attributed to the presence of breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs). Therefore, targeting BCSCs is a priority to overcoming chemotherapy failure in TNBCs.

Epstein Barr virus Latent Membrane Protein-1 enhances dendritic cell therapy lymph node migration, activation, and IL-12 secretion.

Dendritic cells (DC) are a promising cell type for cancer vaccines due to their high immunostimulatory capacity. However, improper maturation of DC prior to treatment may account for the limited efficacy of DC vaccine clinical trials. Latent Membrane Protein-1 (LMP1) of Epstein-Barr virus was examined for its ability to mature and activate DC as a gene-based molecular adjuvant for DC vaccines.
