Published: December 2014

In few-body physics, Efimov states are an infinite series of three-body bound states that obey universal discrete scaling symmetry when pairwise interactions are resonantly enhanced. Despite abundant reports of Efimov states in recent cold atom experiments, direct observation of the discrete scaling symmetry remains an elusive goal. Here we report the observation of three consecutive Efimov resonances in a heteronuclear Li-Cs mixture near a broad interspecies Feshbach resonance. The positions of the resonances closely follow a geometric series 1, λ, λ². The observed scaling constant λ(exp)=4.9(4) is in good agreement with the predicted value of 4.88.

Purpose: This study explores the use of heart rate variability (HRV) analysis, a noninvasive technique for assessing the autonomic nervous system, by applying nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory to detect chaotic behavior in RR intervals and assess cardiovascular health.

Methods: Employing the "System Analysis of Heart Rate Dynamics" (SADR) program, this research combines chaos analysis with the short-time Fourier transform to assess nonlinear dynamic parameters in HRV. It includes constructing phase portraits in Takens space and calculating measures of chaos to identify deterministic chaos indicators.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to determine the necessary spatial resolution for effectively detecting and locating rotors in human right ventricular tachyarrhythmias, addressing a common issue with standard cardiac mapping catheters.
  • High-resolution data from human donor hearts was downsampled to mimic the spatial resolutions of clinical devices, revealing that a resolution of 4.2 mm resulted in detection and localization accuracies of 57% and 61%, respectively.
  • The findings indicate that to achieve an 80% accuracy in rotor detection, a spatial resolution of at least 1.4 mm is required, with variances in accuracy linked to arrhythmia type but not to factors like donor sex or anatomical region.

Structure dependent activation of a Co molecular catalyst through photoinduced electron transfer from CdTe quantum dots.

Nanoscale

November 2024

Chemistry and Advanced Materials Group, Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Tampere University, 33720 Tampere, Finland.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores stable complexes formed between colloidal CdTe quantum dots and two different cobalt porphyrin derivatives, highlighting their potential in photocatalytic applications.
  • Researchers found that the binding of the porphyrins is stronger to the quantum dots than originally thought, with significant differences in electron transfer rates due to structural variations in the porphyrins.
  • The findings suggest that porphyrin alignment changes upon excitation enhance the charge-separated state's lifetime and propose that these complexes could be effective for CO reduction catalysis.

Synthesizing perceivable artificial neural inputs independent of typical sensory channels remains a fundamental challenge in the development of next-generation brain-machine interfaces. Establishing a minimally invasive, wirelessly effective, and miniaturized platform with long-term stability is crucial for creating a clinically meaningful interface capable of mediating artificial perceptual feedback. In this study, we demonstrate a miniaturized fully implantable wireless transcranial optogenetic encoder designed to generate artificial perceptions through digitized optogenetic manipulation of large cortical ensembles.
