Abnormal events detection using spatio-temporal saliency descriptor and fuzzy representation analysis.

In recent years, the research on abnormal events detection is a significant work in surveillance video. Many researchers have been attracted by this work for the past two decades. As a result, several abnormal event detection approaches have been developed.

Phonon Bloch Oscillations.

One-dimensional models have been instrumental in enhancing our understanding of the vibrational and electronic properties of crystalline as well as aperiodic structures. Here, we show that the classical motion of a one-dimensional chain of atoms coupled through a specific force function that depends on position shows features very similar to the Wannier-Stark problem of a quantum particle under the combined effects of a periodic lattice potential and a constant electric field. Both problems exhibit localized modes and a ladder of equally spaced eigenfrequencies, leading to temporal dynamics characterized by periodic oscillations.

Exactly solvable toy model of autocatalysis: Irreversible relaxation after a quantum quench.

A resolvable quantum many-body Hamiltonian is introduced that mimics the behavior of the autocatalytic chemical reaction A+B⇄2B involving two different molecular species, A and B. The model also describes two nonlinearly coupled modes of an optical cavity. Consistent with the current understanding of the relaxation dynamics of integrable systems in isolation, the wave function following a quantum quench exhibits irreversibility with retention of the memory about its initial conditions.

Molecular docking analysis of syringic acid with proteins in inflammatory cascade.

Syringic Acid (SA) is a dimethoxybenzene derived from plants. Dietary SA possesses anti-obesity, anti-inflammatory and anti-steatotic effects and is of interest as a potential therapeutic medication in the treatment of obesity, diabetes, diabetic cataracts and asthma. It has anti-tumorigenic effect against hepatocellular carcinoma, lung carcinoma and oral mucosal carcinoma.

Observation of photo-induced plasmon-phonon coupling in PbTe via ultrafast x-ray scattering.

We report the observation of photo-induced plasmon-phonon coupled modes in the group IV-VI semiconductor PbTe using ultrafast x-ray diffuse scattering at the Linac Coherent Light Source. We measure the near-zone-center excited-state dispersion of the heavily screened longitudinal optical (LO) phonon branch as extracted from differential changes in x-ray diffuse scattering intensity following above bandgap photoexcitation. We suggest that upon photoexcitation, the LO phonon-plasmon coupled (LOPC) modes themselves become coupled to longitudinal acoustic modes that drive electron band shifts via acoustic deformation potentials and possibly to low-energy single-particle excitations within the plasma and that these couplings give rise to displacement-correlations that oscillate in time with a period given effectively by the heavily screened LOPC frequency.
