Matlab code for a multipolar decomposition of optical forces
No full textThis dataset supplements Figure 5 from the publication "Multipolar Origin of the Unexpected Transverse
Force Resulting from Two-Wave Interference*" by Karim Achouri, Andrei Kiselev, and Olivier J. F. Martin. Here, we provide the code for the multipolar analysis of the optical force based on the vector spherical harmonic decomposition. Based on the Mie solution, electric fields can be obtained numerically in the far-field by using the software developed by Dr. Karim Achouri https://github.com/kachourim/MieScatteringPEC. This code analyzes the far-field scattered by a perfect electric conductor sphere placed in vacuum for different sphere radii. In the framework of the Maxwell stress tensor, we find the optical force acting on a sphere along the z-direction in the illumination configuration presented in Figure 1*. The use of the vector spherical decomposition allows to observe contributions from different multipolar interactions. In this code,we analyze the force appearing as a result of the interaction between electric dipole aligned along x, px, and electric quadrupole with components xz, Qexz and compare it with the total force along the z-axis appearing as a result of interaction between all multipoles supported by the sphere with given radius

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
[Newspaper Clipping: Author Claims Evidence of Second JFK Assassin #1]

Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
Challenges of cancer biomarker profiling
No full textObjectives: New biomarkers are being developed to identify individuals at risk for cancer, detect disease earlier, determine prognosis, detect recurrence, predict response to particular agents, and monitor response to treatment. This article attempts to address some of the challenges facing the research and medical communities in the delivery of new biomarkers for individualized medicine. Methods: A variety of issues and barriers can affect the transfer of clinical tests from research to clinical practice. Differences in sample collection, handling or storage, and profiling techniques may influence the protein profile obtained by any method. Results: Standard procedures and quality check schemes are necessary because there is a lack of definition to guarantee reproducibility of new procedures. From technical and economic viewpoints, the assay has to be sufficiently robust to be completed in community-based hospitals. Although traditionally cancer patients were treated with drugs of low toxicity or of high tolerance regardless of their efficacy in a given patient if the benefits of that drug are proven in both experimental and clinical conditions, recent advances have provided opportunities to adapt "tailored" treatment modalities. The evolving trend is the usage of patterns of markers instead of a single marker. Further challenges in biomarker development are in finding the relevant markers that have the right degree of specificity and sensitivity and a reliable test to measure the outcome. Conclusions: Discovery, testing, and validation of clinically appropriate and commercially useful tumor markers should permit individualization of therapy. (c) 2007 European Association of Urology.

John F. Kennedy telegram to Roosevelt
No full textJersey Homesteads (later the Borough of Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. President John F. Kennedy sent a telegram to the citizens of Roosevelt, New Jersey, apologizing for not being able to attend the memorial dedication in honor of former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. (Jersey Homesteads became Roosevelt in 1945 in honor of the president.) President Kennedy expressed his gratitude to the people of Roosevelt for constructing the memorial, and commented that it will serve as a constant reminder of Roosevelt's good works
Logarithmic variance profiles and the corresponding f-1 spectra of temperature fluctuations in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection
No full textWe report experimental results for the temperature variance 2(z) and the corresponding frequency spectra P(f) in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) in a cylindrical sample of aspect ratioT= D/L = 1:00 (D = 1:12 m is the diameter and L = 1:12 m the height). The measurements were conducted in the Rayleigh-number range 1011 < Ra < 1:35 1014 and Pr ' 0:8. For Ra = 1:35x1014, 2(z) could be described well by a logarithmic dependence on the vertical position z in a range of z 1 < z < z 2 with z 1 ' 70 and z 2 = 0:1L. Here L=(2Nu) is the thickness of a thin thermal sublayer adjacent to the horizontal plate where the heat flux (denoted by the Nusselt number Nu) is carried mostly by thermal diffusion. In the log layer, we found that the temperature spectra had a significant frequency range over which P(f) f with close to 1. As Ra decreased, increased so that the log layer became thinner. At Ra = 2:05 1011, z 2 < z 1 and therefore there was no range for a log layer. Correspondingly, the temperature spectrum near the horizontal plate did not have the f1 scaling form either
