Ultrasensitive Atomic Spin Measurements with a Nonlinear Interferometer
We study nonlinear interferometry applied to a measurement of atomic spin and demonstrate a sensitivity that cannot be achieved by any linear-optical measurement with the same experimental resources.

Inhibiting ERK Activation with CI-1040 Leads to Compensatory Upregulation of Alternate MAPKs and Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 following Subtotal Nephrectomy with No Impact on Kidney Fibrosis [PDF]
Extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK) activation by MEK plays a key role in many of the cellular processes that underlie progressive kidney fibrosis including cell proliferation, apoptosis and transforming growth factor β1-mediated epithelial to ...

Disability, Gender and Segregation in the Britain–Australia Convict System
ABSTRACT This article assesses the gendered experiences of disability and segregation among prisoners in colonial (1830s) New South Wales. I use the distinction between impairment and disability from the ‘social model of disability’ to show that the disabling capacities of impairments varied depending on wider social structures and beliefs, and on each

Plant essential oils (EOs) represent a potentially effective, safe, and eco‐friendly alternative to synthetic pesticides that cause negative effects for human health and the environment. The present study evaluated in airtight glass chambers the toxicity of vapours produced by EOs obtained from sweet gale, balsam poplar, Labrador tea, jack pine, and ...

Entanglement-enhanced probing of a delicate material system
Quantum metrology uses entanglement and other quantum effects to improve the sensitivity of demanding measurements. Probing of delicate systems demands high sensitivity from limited probe energy and has motivated the field's key benchmark-the standard ...
