We give a unified treatment of ideal Fermi, Bose, and classical gases for temperatures sufficiently large that energy levels can be treated as a quasi-continuous. Sums can be converted to integrals over a density of quantum states to evaluate thermodynamic functions. Pressure is equal to two-thirds of the energy densit...

Centromeric DNA replication reconstitution reveals DNA loops and ATR checkpoint suppression
Half of the human genome is made up of repetitive DNA. However, mechanisms underlying replication of chromosome regions containing repetitive DNA are poorly understood. We reconstituted replication of defined human chromosome segments using bacterial artificial chromosomes in Xenopus laevis egg extract. Using this appr...

Measuring protein structural changes on a proteome-wide scale using limited proteolysis-coupled mass spectrometry
Protein structural changes induced by external perturbations or internal cues can profoundly influence protein activity and thus modulate cellular physiology. A number of biophysical approaches are available to probe protein structural changes, but these are not applicable to a whole proteome in a biological extract. L...

Optical–optical isomerization mechanism for the third-order optical nonlinearity in side-chain azobenzene copolymer
Abstract The third-order optical nonlinear properties of a side-chain azobenzene copolymer have been studied using the Z -scan technique at 532 nm with 35 ps pulses. The mechanism has been described in detail via an optical–optical isomerization. The two-photon absorption coefficient β was measured to be 234 cm/GW and ...

Convergent evolution of pathogenicity islands in helper cos phage interference
Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity islands (SaPIs) are phage satellites that exploit the life cycle of their helper phages for their own benefit. Most SaPIs are packaged by their helper phages using a headful ( pac ) packaging mechanism. These SaPIs interfere with pac phage reproduction through a variety of strategies...

On Brane Gaugino Condensates In 10D
We analyze the structure of gaugino interactions on D7-branes from a 10d perspective. This is essential if one wants to lift the standard 4d approach to type IIB moduli stabilization to 10d. In particular, a 10d picture has recently been used to raise concerns about the KKLT proposal for constructing de Sitter vacua, a...

Retrieving Surface Waves From Ambient Seismic Noise Using Seismic Interferometry By Multidimensional Deconvolution
Retrieving virtual source surface waves from ambient seismic noise by cross correlation assumes, among others, that the noise field is equipartitioned and the medium is lossless. Violation of these assumptions reduces the accuracy of the retrieved waves. A point-spread function computed from the same ambient noise quan...

Molecular epidemiology reveals the role of war in the spread of HIV in Ukraine
Ukraine has one of the largest HIV epidemics in Europe, historically driven by people who inject drugs (PWID). The epidemic showed signs of stabilization in 2012, but the recent war in eastern Ukraine may be reigniting virus spread. We investigated the movement of HIV-infected people within Ukraine before and during th...

A mechanistic account of bodily resonance and implicit bias
Implicit social biases play a critical role in shaping our attitudes towards other people. Such biases are thought to arise, in part, from a comparison between features of one's own self-image and those of another agent, a process known as ‘bodily resonance’. Recent data have demonstrated that implicit bias can be rema...

Control of translation efficiency in proliferating and differentiated mammalian cells
Translation maps the transcriptome onto the proteome. It is regulated at the initiation levels and also by mRNA secondary structure, and – our current focus – by the interplay between the mRNA and tRNA pools. Although a lot is known about the mechanics of translation, its effects on physiology, particularly on prolifer...
