Conductance and polarization in quantum junctions [PDF]
We revisit the expression for the conductance of a general nanostructure -- such as a quantum point contact -- as obtained from the linear response theory. We show that the conductance represents the strength of the Drude singularity in the conductivity $\sigma(k,k';i\omega \to 0)$.

Photoconduction and photocontrolled collective effects in the Peierls conductor TaS$_3$
Light illumination of thin crystals of CDW conductor TaS$_3$ is found to result in dramatic changes of both linear ($G$) and nonlinear conduction. The increase of $G$ is accompanied by suppression of the collective conduction, growth of the threshold ...

Conduction and cooling flows [PDF]
Chandra and XMM-Newton observations have confirmed the presence of large temperature gradients within the cores of many relaxed clusters of galaxies. Here we investigate whether thermal conduction operating over those gradients can supply sufficient heat

Ionic and Electronic Conduction in TiNb2O7
TiNb2O7 is a Wadsley–Roth phase with a crystallographic shear structure and is a promising candidate for high-rate lithium ion energy storage. The fundamental aspects of the lithium insertion mechanism and conduction in TiNb2O7, however, are not well ...

Dendritic cells steering antigen and leukocyte traffic in lymph nodes
Dendritic cells are key players in the activation of T cells and their commitment to effector function. In this In a Nutshell Review, we will discuss how dendritic cells guide the trafficking of antigen and leukocytes in the lymph node, thus influencing T‐cell activation processes. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in initiating and shaping the

Investigations on electrostatic dissipative materials derived from Poly(vinyl alcohol)/ferrofluid composites [PDF]
Biodegradable polymer composites based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and ferrofluid (FF) were prepared by solutioncasting method. Such composites were characterized by various methods in order to evaluate their potential for use as elec-trostatic ...

Evaluation of Performance for Human In-Vivo Conductivity Estimation from EEG and sEEG Recorded in Simultaneous with Intracerebral Electrical Stimulation [PDF]
Assigning accurate conductivity values in human head models is an essential factor for performing precise electroencephalographic (EEG) source localization and targeting of transcranial electrical stimulation (TES). Unfortunately, the literature reports diverging conductivity values of the different tissues in the human head. The current study analyzes

The dual nature of TDC – bridging dendritic and T cells in immunity
TDC are hematopoietic cells combining dendritic and T cell features. They reach secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and peripheral organs (liver and lungs) after FLT3‐dependent development in the bone marrow and maturation in the thymus. TDC are activated and enriched in SLOs upon viral infection, suggesting that they might play unique immune roles, since
