We advance the microrheological interpretation of optical diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS) measurements of strongly attractive emulsions at dense droplet volume fractions, ϕ. Beyond accounting for collective scattering, we show that measuring the mean free path of optical transport over a wide range of ϕ is necessary to quantify the effective size of the DWS probes, which we infer to be local dense clusters of droplets through a decorated core-shell network model. This approach yields microrheological elastic shear moduli that are in quantitative agreement with mechanical rheometry.

Association of Diet and Waist-to-Hip Ratio With Brain Connectivity and Memory in Aging.
JAMA Netw Open

Importance: Epidemiological studies suggest that lifestyle factors are associated with risk of dementia. However, few studies have examined the association of diet and waist to hip ratio (WHR) with hippocampus connectivity and cognitive health.
Objective: To ascertain how longitudinal changes in diet quality and WHR during midlife are associated with hippocampal connectivity and cognitive function in later life.
Understanding laser interactions with subcellular compartments is crucial for advancing optical microscopy, phototherapy, and optogenetics. While continuous-wave (CW) lasers rely on linear absorption, femtosecond (fs) lasers enable nonlinear multiphoton absorption confined to the laser focus, offering high axial precision. However, current fs laser delivery methods lack the ability to target dynamic molecular entities and automate target selection, limiting real-time perturbation of biomolecules with mobility or complex distribution.

The scale-invariant inverse energy cascade is a hallmark of 2D turbulence, with its theoretical energy spectrum observed in both direct numerical simulations (DNS) and laboratory experiments. Under this scale-invariance assumption, the effective diffusivity of a 2D turbulent flow is dimensionally controlled by the energy flux and the friction coefficient only. Surprisingly, however, we show that such scaling predictions are invalidated by numerical solutions of the 2D Navier-Stokes equation forced at intermediate wave number and damped by weak linear or quadratic drag.

Two-dimensional (2D) 1T-VSe has prompted significant interest due to the discrepancies regarding alleged ferromagnetism (FM) at room temperature, charge density wave (CDW) states, and the interplay between the two. We employed a combined Diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) and density functional theory (DFT) approach to accurately investigate the magnetic properties, CDW states, and their responses to strain in monolayer 1T-VSe. Our calculations show the delicate competition between various phases, revealing critical insights into the relationship between their energetic and structural properties.

Approaches for evaluating excited state wave functions and energies using diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) with guiding functions (guided DMC) are discussed. For this work, the guiding functions are functions of a subset of the 3 - 6 coordinates that are needed to describe the structure of the molecule of interest. The DMC wave functions are used to evaluate intensities using two approaches.
