Fits of finite-volume smeared spectral densities [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Motivated by recent progress in the numerical inversion of the Laplace transform, we investigate applications of finite-volume smeared spectral densities. These include the tuning of operator smearing, and the study of the finite-volume spectrum.

The significance of Lactobacillus crispatus and L. vaginalis for vaginal health and the negative effect of recent sex: a cross-sectional descriptive study across groups of African women [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Women in sub-Saharan Africa are vulnerable to acquiring HIV infection and reproductive tract infections. Bacterial vaginosis (BV), a disruption of the vaginal microbiota, has been shown to be strongly associated with HIV infection.

Telomerase reverse transcriptase gene knock‐in unleashes enhanced longevity and accelerated damage repair in mice

Aging Cell, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2025.
Tert knock‐in (TertKI) mice harboring the EF1α‐Tert gene in the Rosa26 locus displayed heightened telomerase activity, elongated telomeres, and extended lifespan. TertKI mice displayed enhanced wound healing and exhibited resistance to the progression of colitis.

Aging‐Associated Vacuolation of Multi‐Ciliated Cells in the Distal Mouse Oviduct Reflects Unique Cell Identity and Luminal Microenvironment

Aging Cell, EarlyView.
Multi‐ciliated cells in the infundibulum and ampulla (INF/AMP) epithelium are vacuolated in aging. Unique cellular susceptibility of the INF/AMP epithelial population and aging‐associated decline in ovarian artery circulation, which supports the ovary and INF/AMP, contribute to this region‐specific vacuolation phenotype, as a consequence of a mildly ...

A novel gauge invariant multi-state smearing technique [PDF]

J.Comput.Phys. 179 (2002) 349-370, 1999
We present an investigation of a gauge invariant smearing technique that allows the construction of smearing functions with arbitrary radial behaviour, by foresaking the space filling nature of traditional smearing techniques. This is applied to both heavy-heavy, heavy-light, and light-light systems with one particular choice of radial ``wavefunction''
