AI Article Synopsis

  • The study highlights improved geometrical scaling in the p(T) spectra from the CMS Collaboration at the LHC when the saturation scale exponent (λ) varies with p(T).
  • This variation leads to a better correlation with the small x exponent found in the F(2) structure function during deep inelastic scattering experiments.
  • The specific scale analyzed is when p(T) is approximately equal to Q/2, showing a significant overlap in the behaviors observed.

Article Abstract

We show that geometrical scaling exhibited by the p(T) spectra measured by the CMS Collaboration at the LHC is substantially improved if the exponent λ of the saturation scale depends on p(T). This dependence is shown to be the same as the dependence of small x exponent of F(2) structure function in deep inelastic scattering taken at the scale p(T) ≃ Q/2.

The theory of similitudes provides simple laws by which the response of one system (usually of small size) can be used to predict the response of another system (usually larger). This paper establishes the exact conditions and laws of similitude for the vibrations and acoustic radiation of a panel immersed in a heavy fluid and excited by a turbulent boundary layer. Previous work on vibroacoustic similitude had not considered the problem of a panel radiating in heavy fluid, for which the radiation impedance of the structure must be scaled.

Highly deformable flapping membrane wings suppress the leading edge vortex in hover to perform better.

Airborne insects generate a leading edge vortex when they flap their wings. This coherent vortex is a low-pressure region that enhances the lift of flapping wings compared to fixed wings. Insect wings are thin membranes strengthened by a system of veins that does not allow large wing deformations.

GDFold2: A fast and parallelizable protein folding environment with freely defined objective functions.

Protein Sci

MOE Key Laboratory of Bioinformatics, School of Life Sciences, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.

An important step of mainstream protein structure prediction is to model the 3D protein structure based on the predicted 2D inter-residue geometric information. This folding step has been integrated into a unified neural network to allow end-to-end training in state-of-the-art methods like AlphaFold2, but is separately implemented using the Rosetta folding environment in some traditional methods like trRosetta. Despite the inferiority in prediction accuracy, the conventional approach allows for the sampling of various protein conformations compatible with the predicted geometric constraints, partially capturing the dynamic information.

Polarization-Independent High-Q Phase Gradient Metasurfaces.

Nano Lett

Department of Electrical & Systems Engineering, Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis, Missouri 63130, United States.

Dielectric metasurfaces have emerged as an unprecedented platform for precise wavefront manipulation at subwavelength scales with nearly zero loss. When aiming at dynamic applications such as AR/VR and LiDAR, high-quality factor (high-Q) phase gradient metasurfaces have emerged as a way to boost weak light-material interactions in flat-optical components. However, resonant features are naturally tied to polarization, limiting devices to operating on a single polarization state, which reduces the efficiency and adaptability of wave-shaping.

Sickle cell disease causes erythrocytes to become sickle-shaped, affecting their movement in the bloodstream and reducing oxygen delivery. It has a high global prevalence and places a significant burden on healthcare systems, especially in resource-limited regions. Automated classification of sickle cells in blood images is crucial, allowing the specialist to reduce the effort required and avoid errors when quantifying the deformed cells and assessing the severity of a crisis.
