El 7 de noviembre de 2016, la Fundación Ramón Areces organizó el Simposio Internacional 'Solitón: un concepto con extraordinaria diversidad de aplicaciones inter, trans, y multidisciplinares. Desde el mundo macroscópico al nanoscópico'.
The document describes a proposed "push pin probe" consisting of a gold nanoparticle (Au-NP) terminated carbon nanotube (CNT) for use as a transmembrane voltage indicator and in microfluidic molecular assays. The Au-NP would act as a localized plasmon scatterer while the CNT would enhance the electric field and allow scattering resonance to shift based on potential between the CNT and Au-NP. The probe array could be used to measure neural cell voltages or for DNA sequencing. Fabrication would involve growing CNTs on quartz, transferring to gold substrates, and patterning Au-NPs via lithography and deposition.
The document summarizes research on ion energy distribution measurements in reactive high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) mode. Key findings include: (1) HiPIMS produces a high fraction of ionized sputtered material compared to conventional magnetron sputtering, reducing energetic neutral bombardment; (2) Ion energy distributions from HiPIMS of an Al target in Ar/N2 plasma exhibit high-energy tails up to 70 eV for Al+ and 50 eV for N+ originating from re-ionization of sputtered neutrals; (3) During HiPIMS pulses, the floating potential varies but ions are predominantly detected when it is near zero volts.
Ion Channel Fluctuations in Transmemembrane Proteins within Cell MembranesIowa State University
The transmembrane proteins known as ion channels play a role in controlling and preserving the ionic concentrations across the cell membrane. Modeling the flux of ions in and out of these channels on an atomic level is essential for understanding several neurological diseases and related pharmaceutical discoveries. Recent experimental research has provided information on the channel's physical structure which can be used to create realistic ion transport models. Different trajectories exist for the ions entering the channel, each having its own probability of occurrence. Variables that measure these trajectories are the translocation and return probabilities, average lifetime, and spectral density of the ion number fluctuations. Theoretical analysis of ion transport has been restricted to low-resolution continuum diffusion-based or kinetic-based models which do not consider important factors that have an effect on ionic conduction. This paper extends previous models by an electro-diffusion model which takes into account the effects of electric fields, energy barriers, and rate-limited association/dissociation of ions with surface charges present inside the channel. Derived from the analytical model are the survival probability and spectral density.

This document summarizes research on the dielectric properties of red blood cells (RBCs) and how they are affected by exposure to extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic fields. It discusses polarization mechanisms in biological materials and how dielectric properties are measured. Several studies found that prolonged exposure of rats to 50Hz magnetic fields with intensities of 0.2-3 mT caused structural changes to hemoglobin in RBCs, increasing their relative permittivity and conductivity over time. This suggests exposure may damage RBC function and metabolism, with downstream effects on organs. In conclusion, analyzing dielectric properties provides insight into electromagnetic field interactions with cells and how exposure may affect physiological processes.
1) The document discusses using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to probe changes in cell activity and structure by measuring how the absorption spectra and agglomeration of AuNPs are affected by changes in the dielectric constant of the surrounding matrix.
2) Mie theory accurately predicts how changes in the dielectric constant of the matrix affect the absorption spectra of AuNPs. Absorption spectral shifts occur when AuNPs enter cells due to differences between the dielectric constant of cytoplasm and the surroundings.
3) The hypothesis is that measuring changes in the absorption spectra and agglomeration of AuNPs caused by varying the dielectric constant of different media can provide information about intracellular changes in cells.

Effect of isotopic subsitution on the transition frequenciesApurvaSachdeva
This document discusses isotopic substitution, which is the replacement of atoms in a molecule with isotopes of different mass. Isotopic substitution is useful for vibrational spectroscopy because it changes the reduced mass and normal modes of vibration, leading to different vibrational frequencies. Specifically, substituting heavier isotopes lowers vibrational frequencies due to an increase in reduced mass. Examples given are substituting deuterium for hydrogen in HCl, which lowers frequencies by a factor of 1.35-1.41, and substituting 13C for 12C in CO, which also lowers vibrational energy levels.
General considerations and method development in ce,ChowdaryPavani
This document provides an overview of capillary electrophoresis (CE). It defines CE, describes its principle and instrumentation. CE involves separating components of a sample based on their differential rate of migration in an applied electric field. Key points covered include electrophoretic mobility, electroosmotic flow, sample introduction techniques, and common applications such as protein, DNA and pharmaceutical analysis. CE provides high resolution separations due to its small capillary diameter and long separation length.
AN INTRODUCTION TO BASIC PHENOMENA OF PLASMA PHYSICSDr. Ved Nath Jha
Plasma is a set of neutral and charged particles which reveals a number of collective behaviors. The very
long range coulomb forces enable the charged particles in plasma to work together with one another
simultaneously. The study of plasma is actually a really ancient area of investigation in plasma physics
and it remains to be among the vital fields due to the crucial role of its in most plasma uses including
plasma processing, fabrication of semiconductor systems, etching, etc. except the presence of just ions
and electrons, the plasma in many instances, has a number of other species of ions like negative ions
which impact the complete plasma behaviour. Within this paper we study about the fundamental ideas of
plasma physics.
1. Microwave diagnostics techniques such as interferometry, reflectometry, scattering and electron cyclotron emission (ECE) have been powerful tools for diagnosing magnetically confined plasmas.
2. Recent advances in electronics and computer technology have enabled the development of advanced microwave diagnostic systems that can measure 2D and 3D profiles of plasma density, temperature, and fluctuations.
3. Key microwave diagnostic techniques discussed in the document are interferometry, reflectometry, and ECE. Interferometry measures line integrated density, reflectometry measures local density, and ECE measures local electron temperature. These techniques provide important information for understanding issues in plasma physics like stability, waves, and transport.
This document provides an overview of ion channels and membrane transport proteins. It lists 14 learning objectives related to understanding ion transport mechanisms, membrane potentials, the Nernst equation, Ohm's law, different types of ion channels, and patch clamp techniques. Key concepts covered include the distribution of ions inside and outside cells, equilibrium potentials, selectivity and permeation of potassium channels, and the role of PIP2 in channel gating.
1. The document summarizes research using NMR techniques to investigate the presence of solid state water at room temperature in various hydrated materials, including zeolites, silicates, cement, and cellulose.
2. Deuterium NMR relaxation experiments on samples hydrated with D2O provide evidence for room temperature solid state water undergoing localized tetrahedral jumps or C2 rotations.
3. The results suggest a model where the solid state water is in fast exchange between tetrahedral and C2 motion configurations at room temperature.
This document discusses a study on the electromagnetic activity produced by oscillations of microtubules in cells. Microtubules are composed of electrically polar subunits that could generate electric fields when they vibrate mechanically. The study derives the electromagnetic field produced by an oscillating electric dipole to model the microtubule subunits. It then models microtubule networks in dividing and non-dividing cells and finds that the asymmetric network in a dividing cell produces a field that decays more slowly with distance. However, the calculated field intensities are very low and difficult to detect without sophisticated methods.
Introduction to Modern Methods and Tools for Biologically Plausible Modelling...SSA KPI
This document provides an overview of modern methods and tools for biologically plausible modeling of neural structures in the brain. It discusses modeling at different levels, from the system level looking at the brain as a whole, down to the subcellular and molecular levels examining individual neurons and ion channels. At each level, it outlines key research methods used to study the brain experimentally and different modeling approaches, including population and dynamical models, formal neural networks, and detailed single-cell models. The document also reviews seminal work in neuroscience like Hodgkin and Huxley's equations for modeling ion channel dynamics and spike generation in neurons.
This document discusses the use of trapped atomic ions for quantum information processing and the creation of entangled states. It describes how ions can be trapped and laser cooled to suppress environmental perturbations and allow for coherent manipulation over long durations. Recent experiments have successfully generated entanglement between the internal states of pairs of trapped ions, implemented quantum logic gates like CNOT, and improved tools for high-precision measurement. Trapped ions provide a promising system for studying and applying concepts of quantum information processing.
This document provides information about electrophoresis. It discusses different types of electrophoretic techniques including slab electrophoresis, capillary electrophoresis, capillary zone electrophoresis, capillary gel electrophoresis, capillary isotachophoresis, and micellar electrokinetic chromatography. It also covers principles, instrumentation, applications in areas like DNA analysis and vaccine analysis.
This document outlines a graduate student's thesis work on multi-scale modeling of micro-coronas. There are wide variations in both time and length scales involved in plasma modeling, from picoseconds to hours/days and from molecular to macroscopic scales. A multi-scale modeling technique of domain decomposition is proposed, using microscopic models locally where needed and macroscopic models for the rest. The goals are to develop a modeling tool that can span micro- to macro-scales and simulate plasmas in complex geometries. Challenges include bridging between scales and incorporating particle and fluid models.
Electrostatic Edge Plasma Turbulence in the Uragan-3M torsatronAleksey Beletskii
The document summarizes electrical probe measurements of electrostatic edge plasma turbulence in the Uragan-3M torsatron. Key findings include: (1) plasma density fluctuations in the scrape-off layer and divertor region exhibit a spectral splitting depending on position relative to the last closed magnetic surface; (2) formation of radial electric field shear decreases turbulence and anomalous transport at the plasma edge; (3) turbulence data from Uragan-3M is included in the International Stellarator/Heliotron Edge Turbulence Database. Future work involves direct measurements of plasma potential and electron temperature fluctuations using a new combined probe.
1) The document presents an experimental validation of a super-sensitive chemical imaging technique called multiphoton frequency-domain fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (MPM-FD-FLIM).
2) The experiments demonstrate a 2x improvement in imaging speed compared to the theoretical limit of conventional MPM-FD-FLIM. Additionally, unprecedented sensitivity is achieved over a wide range of fluorescence lifetimes.
3) These results are obtained through simple modifications to data analysis in a conventional MPM-FD-FLIM microscope based on an analytical model describing the signal-to-noise ratio of such systems. The experimental results validate this theoretical model.
An alternative to the "big molecules" view of proteins is the "small things" view in which protein have a shape and material properties. This talk is about investigating these properties.
The document discusses various methods and concepts related to measuring permeability across epithelial tissues, including the following key points:
- Short-circuit current (Isc) measures the sum of all active ion transport processes when the transepithelial potential is clamped to 0 mV. It provides information about epithelial function but is an unphysiological measurement.
- Electrical resistance (Rt) and open-circuit voltage (Vt) measurements can also be used to determine ion movement and epithelial function without short-circuiting the paracellular pathway.
- Tight junctions can vary in permeability between epithelia (tight vs leaky) and selectivity based on claudin composition, acting as aqueous pores or sie

Magnon crystallization in kagomé antiferromagnetsRyutaro Okuma
This document summarizes research on magnon crystallization in kagomé antiferromagnets. Key points include:
1) Observation of a series of magnetization plateaus up to 160 T in CdK and a 1/3 magnetization plateau over 150 T in herbertsmithite.
2) Theoretical calculation showing hexagonal magnon localization and crystallization phases with different magnetization values as the field is increased.
3) Experimental studies of the S=1/2 kagomé magnets volborthite, herbertsmithite, and Cd-kapellasite using ultra-high magnetic fields up to 200 T to observe magnon crystallization phenomena.
1) Electrogenic pumps like the Na+/K+ ATPase transport ions across membranes using energy from ATP hydrolysis. This leads to a net movement of charge across the membrane.
2) Early models assumed passive ion diffusion established ion gradients, but problems arose. Equations were developed but inconsistencies emerged when applying them to plant cells.
3) The mechanism of the Na+/K+ ATPase involves ions binding deep within the protein and moving through access channels to binding sites. Transient currents from external ions like K+ and Na+ moving through these channels have been measured.

This document discusses a proposed mechanism for electron pairing and superconductivity in ionic crystals. It analyzes a one-dimensional ion lattice chain model and establishes a mechanism for electron pairing driven by lattice vibration modes. The analysis is extended to 3D ionic crystals, focusing on donor-acceptor systems. Electron pairing occurs between energy levels matched to the maximum vibration frequency ωM. Introducing an acceptor band can stabilize electron pairs across the acceptor and full bands, with a binding energy estimated to be at least hωM/(4π).

When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
The technology uses reclaimed CO₂ as the dyeing medium in a closed loop process. When pressurized, CO₂ becomes supercritical (SC-CO₂). In this state CO₂ has a very high solvent power, allowing the dye to dissolve easily.

Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...AbdullaAlAsif1
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).

Membrane potential changes result
from displacement of charged lipids
..it seems plausible that mechanical
solitons can generate voltage changes
comparable to those observed during
action potentials. The exact values
remain to be determined by experiment.
20. Testable predictions from the soliton model for action potentials
-) Membrane capacitance, Cm, must change transiently in register with AP passage.
-) Since propagation velocity is inversely proportional to Cm, then,
velocity must be determined by the magnitud of Cm change.
-) Since propagation velocities are diverse across neuron types and temperatures,
so should be for soliton’s velocities. The case of membrane inhomogeneities.
-) High frequency firing neurons should have a special lipid composition.
-) Since charged proteins represent up to 50% weight of membrane composition,
experimental loading or depletion of proteins from membranes should lead to
quantitatively predictable changes in AP amplitude and velocity.
21. Tasks to be solved by the soliton model
-) To explain a triggering mechanism for solitons.
-) To explain directionality of soliton conduction.
-) To explain the transformation of solitons into synaptic release.
-) To explain how to deal with high frequency firing rates.
-) To explain the refractory period of the membrane. (mass conservation?)
-) To clarify the putative friction component in the membrane melting process,
hence, heat generation.
