Glycosphingolipid metabolism in cell fate specification

Giovanni D'Angelo, Laura Capolupo, Jaipreet Singh Loomba

Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are ubiquitous components of eukaryotic plasma membranes that consist of a ceramide backbone linked to a glycan moiety. Both the ceramide and the glycan parts of GSLs display structural variations that result in a remarkable reper ...

Coexistence of Multiple Nonlinear States in a Tristable Passive Kerr Resonator

Miles Henry Anderson

Passive Kerr cavities driven by coherent laser fields display a rich landscape of nonlinear physics, including bistability, pattern formation, and localized dissipative structures (solitons). Their conceptual simplicity has for several decades offered an u ...

Field assessment of reproduction-related traits of chironomids using a newly developed emergence platform (E-Board)

Further progress in the development of reliable biomonitoring strategies requires to better link effects in aquatic ecological systems to ambient concentrations of chemical contaminants. Among existing tools, in situ bioassays using caging method represent ...

Patterning of perovskite-polymer films by wrinkling instabilities

Joël Teuscher

Organic-inorganic perovskites are semiconductors used for applications in optoelectronics and photovoltaics. Micron and submicron perovskite patterns have been explored in semitransparent photovoltaic and lasing applications. In this work, we show that a p ...

Dynamics of the MnAs alpha/beta-Striped Microstructure and of the Fe Magnetization Reversal in Fe/MnAs/GaAs(001): An Optical-Laser Pump-Free-Electron-Laser Probe Scattering Experiment

Eugenio Ferrari

It was shown recently that the Fe magnetization reversal in the Fe/MnAs/GaAs(001) epitaxial system, attained by temperature control of the regular stripe pattern of the MnAs alpha- and beta-phases, can also be driven by an ultrashort optical laser pulse. I ...

Detuning-dependent properties and dispersion-induced instabilities of temporal dissipative Kerr solitons in optical microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Maxim Karpov, Hairun Guo, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, John David Jost

Temporal-dissipative Kerr solitons are self-localized light pulses sustained in driven nonlinear optical resonators. Their realization in microresonators has enabled compact sources of coherent optical frequency combs as well as the study of dissipative so ...

Intermode Breather Solitons in Optical Microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Michael Wolfgang Geiselmann, Junqiu Liu, Maxim Karpov, Hairun Guo, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Miles Henry Anderson, John David Jost

Dissipative solitons can be found in a variety of systems resulting from the double balance between dispersion and nonlinearity, as well as gain and loss. Recently, they have been observed to spontaneously form in Kerr nonlinear microresonators driven by a ...

Teaching Business Design at an Engineering School–Principles/Patterns/Practice

Alain Wegmann, Gorica Tapandjieva Sekulovska, Blagovesta Hristova Kostova

We present a research-in-progress project on teaching business design at an engineering school. We describe our teaching approach based on experiential learning, systems thinking and service-dominant logic. We highlight how we try, by repetition, to help t ...

Pattern formation with voluminous processes

Alexandre David Olivier Maurer

When a shoal of small fishes notices a predator, they typically change their collective shape and form a specific pattern. They do so efficiently (in parallel) and without collision. This motivates us to design algorithms with similar properties. In this p ...

Spatio-temporal patterns in inclined layer convection

Tobias Schneider

This paper reports on a theoretical analysis of the rich variety of spatio-temporal patterns observed recently in inclined layer convection at medium Prandtl number when varying the inclination angle gamma and the Rayleigh number R. The present numerical i ...
