Categorical Landau Paradigm for Gapped Phases.

Published: October 2024

We propose a unified framework to classify gapped infrared phases with categorical symmetries, leading to a generalized, categorical Landau paradigm. This is applicable in any dimension and gives a succinct, comprehensive, and computationally powerful approach to classifying gapped symmetric phases. The key tool is the symmetry topological field theory, which is a one dimension higher topological field theory with two boundaries that we choose to be topological. We illustrate the general idea for (1+1)D gapped phases with categorical symmetries and suggest higher-dimensional extensions.

States Do Not Delineate the "Accepted Medical Standards" for Brain Death/Death by Neurologic Criteria Determination.

Neurocrit Care

January 2025

Division of Neurocritical Care, Departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery, New York University Langone Medical Center, 530 First Avenue, MSB-2-206, New York, NY, 10016, USA.

Background: The Uniform Determination of Death Act requires brain death/death by neurologic criteria (BD/DNC) determination to be in accordance with "accepted medical standards." The medical organizations responsible for delineating these guidelines are only specified statutorily in two states. State health organizations (SHOs) are composed of policy experts and medical professionals who are responsible for addressing medical, ethical, and legislative problems related to health.

Temporal dynamics of affective scene processing in the healthy adult human brain.

Understanding how the brain distinguishes emotional from neutral scenes is crucial for advancing brain-computer interfaces, enabling real-time emotion detection for faster, more effective responses, and improving treatments for emotional disorders like depression and anxiety. However, inconsistent research findings have arisen from differences in study settings, such as variations in the time windows, brain regions, and emotion categories examined across studies. This review sought to compile the existing literature on the timing at which the adult brain differentiates basic affective from neutral scenes in less than one second, as previous studies have consistently shown that the brain can begin recognizing emotions within just a few milliseconds.

In a recent molecular study, the pygmy chameleon Rhampholeon boulengeri Steindachner, 1911 was shown to contain six genetically distinct, but phenotypically cryptic lineages. Phylogenetic analyses of genetic data demonstrated that several well-supported clades occurred in non-overlapping elevational ranges across the Albertine Rift in Central Africa. In order to resolve the taxonomy of the R.
