Collective Coordinates Theory for Discrete Soliton Ratchets in the sine-Gordon Model [PDF]

, 2014
A collective coordinate theory is develop for soliton ratchets in the damped discrete sine-Gordon model driven by a biharmonic force. An ansatz with two collective coordinates, namely the center and the width of the soliton, is assumed as an approximated

Estrogen treatment in combination with pyruvate kinase M2 inhibition precipitate significant cumulative antitumor effects in colorectal cancer

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 38, Issue 8, August 2024.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) cells exhibit a versatile metabolic profile that is responsive to changes in the tumor microenvironment. Estrogen (E2) signaling modulates glycolysis and reduces CRC cell growth and survival. pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) inhibition also modulates glycolysis and reduces CRC cell growth.

Effects of the added sugar labeling on consumers' willingness to pay: The case of cranberry products under different nutrition‐related information treatments

Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 424-444, June 2024.
Abstract The Food and Drug Administration announced a rule update to the Nutrition Facts Panel (NFP) requiring the declaration of added sugars on the NFP starting in 2020. This study measures the impact of these changes by estimating the willingness to pay for added sugars in cranberry products under different nutrition‐related information treatments ...

A Theoretical and Experimental Study on the Lewis Acid−Base Adducts (P4E3)·(BX3) (E = S, Se; X = Br, I) and (P4Se3)·(NbCl5) [PDF]

, 2001
The Lewis acid−base adducts (P4E3)·(BX3) (E = S, Se; X = Br, I) and (P4Se3)·(NbCl5) have been prepared and characterized by Raman, IR, and solid-state 31P MAS NMR spectroscopy. Hybrid density functional calculations (B3LYP) have been carried out for both

Utilization of lasso peptides for biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 16, Issue 2, April 2024.
Here, we provide the first correlation of the inactivation of a lasso peptide processing gene with an inability to utilize a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. Abstract Many microbial genes involved in degrading recalcitrant environmental contaminants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been identified and characterized.

Tsunami generated by a granular collapse down a rough inclined plane

, 2014
In this Letter, we experimentally investigate the collapse of initially dry granular media into water and the subsequent impulse waves. We systematically characterize the influence of the slope angle and the granular material on the initial amplitude of ...

Short, Medium, and Long Term Consequences of Poor Infant Health: An Analysis using Siblings and Twins [PDF]

We use administrative data on a sample of births between 1978 and 1985 to investigate the short, medium and long-term consequences of poor infant health. Our findings offer several advances to the existing literature on the effects of early infant health

Focusing through random media: eigenchannel participation number and intensity correlation

, 2011
Using random matrix calculations, we show that, the contrast between maximally focused intensity through random media and the background of the transmitted speckle pattern for diffusive waves is, \mu_N =1 +N_{eff}, where N eff is the eigenchannel ...
