Navier-Stokes Equations for Nearly Integrable Quantum Gases.

The Navier-Stokes equations are paradigmatic equations describing hydrodynamics of an interacting system with microscopic interactions encoded in transport coefficients. In this work we show how the Navier-Stokes equations arise from the microscopic dynamics of nearly integrable 1D quantum many-body systems. We build upon the recently developed hydrodynamics of integrable models to study the effective Boltzmann equation with collision integral taking into account the non-integrable interactions.

Quantum features of the transport through ion channels in the soft knock-on model.

Ion channels are protein structures that facilitate the selective passage of ions across the membrane cells of living organisms. They are known for their high conductance and high selectivity. The precise mechanism between these two seemingly contradicting features is not yet firmly established.

UCAN Make a Difference: Over 40 Years of Flying High Above Chicago.

The University of Chicago Aeromedical Network (UCAN) was established in 1983 and has been providing critical care transport via both air and ground in and around the Chicago area for over 40 years. Over that time, the program has transported thousands of critically ill individuals, including complex specialty populations, while also maintaining a safe transport environment for its crew members and patients. UCAN has had a profound impact not only on its patients, but also on the entire transport community by providing continuing education, conducting vital safety research while maintaining the highest safety standards, and driving the industry forward through service and leadership.

Thermalization of Interacting Quasi-One-Dimensional Systems.

Many experimentally relevant systems are quasi-one-dimensional, consisting of nearly decoupled chains. In these systems, there is a natural separation of scales between the strong intrachain interactions and the weak interchain coupling. When the intrachain interactions are integrable, weak interchain couplings play a crucial part in thermalizing the system.
