Performing Hong-Ou-Mandel-type numerical experiments with repulsive condensates: the case of dark and dark-bright solitons
No full textThe Hong-Ou-Mandel experiment leads indistinguishable photons simultaneously reaching a 50:50 beam splitter to emerge on the same port through a two-photon interference. Motivated by this phenomenon, we consider numerical experiments of the same flavor for classical wave objects in the setting of repulsive condensates. We examine dark solitons interactingwith a repulsive barrier, a case inwhich we find no significant asymmetries in the emerging waves after the collision, presumably due to their topological nature. We also consider case examples of two-component systems, where the dark solitons trap a bright structure in the second component (dark-bright solitary waves). For these, pronounced asymmetries upon collision are possible for the nontopological bright component. We also show an example of a similar phenomenology for ring dark-bright structures in two dimensions
Hemingway’s \u3cem\u3eThe Dangerous Summer\u3c/em\u3e: The Complete Annotations
No full textComprehensive guide to the people, places, events, and other allusions making up Hemingway’s final book on Spain and the bullring. Mandel identifies, explains, and interprets each entry, bringing to bear her extensive knowledge of both author and taurine history and politics. Her introduction surveys Hemingway’s lifelong fascination with the corrida before moving into a discussion of the many elements comprising the bullfight, from bull breeding to taurine laws. Mandel closes her introduction with an overview of the complicated composition, revision, editing, and publication of the various versions of the narrative. Includes a dozen black-and-white photographs, extensive endnotes, and index

The co-repressor mSin3A is a functional component of the REST-CoREST repressor complex
No full textThe repressor REST/NRSF restricts expression of a large set of genes to neurons by suppressing their expression in non-neural tissues. We find that REST repression involves two distinct repressor proteins. One of these, CoREST, interacts with the COOH-terminal repressor domain of REST (Andres, M. E., Burger, C., Peral-Rubio, M. J., Battaglioli, E., Anderson, M. E., Grimes, J., Dallmanm J., Ballas, N., and Mandel, G. (1999) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 96, 9873-9878). Here we show that the co-repressor mSin3A also interacts with REST. The REST-mSin3A association involves the NH2-terminal repressor domain of REST and the paired amphipathic helix 2 domain of mSin3A. REST forms complexes with endogenous mSin3A in mammalian cells, and both mSin3A and CoREST interact with REST in intact mammalian cells. REST repression is blocked in yeast lacking Sin3 and rescued in its presence. In mammalian cells, repression by REST is reduced when binding to mSin3A is inhibited. In mouse embryos, the distribution of mSin3A and REST transcripts is largely coincident. The pattern of CoREST gene expression is more restricted, suggesting that mSin3A is required constitutively for REST repression, whereas CoREST is recruited for more specialized repressor functions
Guest Speakers for POLS 672 Politics of the Future 10-25-1989
No full textGuest speakers Walter Truitt Anderson (author of numerous books including "Reality Isn’t What It Used to Be") and Tom Mandel (inventor of the term "surfing the net" and first person to die on the net with Beethoven's 9th playing) speak on the state of futures studies and make several projections about the coming decades
Subject and Author: The Literary Backgrounds of \u3cem\u3eDeath in the Afternoon\u3c/em\u3e
No full textProvides two bibliographies of literature that influenced Hemingway’s writing of the book, including memoirs, histories, novels, and travel guides. The first covers a broad range of English-language works on Spain and the bullfight, specifically identifying those owned by Hemingway. The second annotates Hemingway’s readings on the subject in Spanish, French, and English. In her detailed introduction, Mandel explains the place Death in the Afternoon holds as one of the most accurate and respected books on bullfighting in Spain, with Hemingway’s volume closer to the Spanish tradition of writing on the bullfight than the English
The Prospero of Wonderland; or, Miranda Carroll, Author of Station Eleven
No full textAnalysis of Emily St. John Mandel\u27s novel Station Eleven and its Shakespearean antecedents, particularly The Tempest. This article reads Mandel\u27s character Miranda Carroll as an artist-figure comparable to Prospero. I argue that Miranda is the embedded author of the entire Station Eleven--both pre- and post-pandemic--in ways that mirror themes of revenge and forgiveness in The Tempest
Macroscopic Hong-Ou-Mandel interference
No full textWe report on a Hong-Ou-Mandel interference experiment for twin beams with photon numbers per mode as large as 10(6) generated via high-gain parametric down conversion (PDC). The standard technique of coincidence counting leads in this case to a dip with a very low visibility. By measuring, instead of coincidence counting rate, the variance of the photon-number difference, we observe an extremely well-pronounced peak. From the shape of the peak, one can infer information about the spectral properties of the PDC radiation, including the number of frequency/temporal modes
