from single molecule fluorescence spectroscopy
The spontaneous self-organization of an unstructured polypeptide into a well-defined three-dimensional structure is one of the most fundamental processes of life. We use single molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) to study several fundamental aspects of protein folding. Single molecule FRET can provide both structural and dynamic information and has allowed us to map long-range intramolecular distances and reconfiguration dynamics in non-native states of proteins that are difficult to access with classical structural biology methods. Single molecule methodology can also be used to investigate intrinsically disordered proteins and the folding and dynamics of proteins under more complex conditions, e.g. in the context of cellular factors, such as molecular chaperones. -

In general relativity, the inequality relates the mass and the entropy associated with a gravitational background.
If the inequality is violated by some Cauchy data, it suggests a creation of a naked singularity, thus providing means to
study the cosmic censorship hypothesis.
The analogous inequality in the context of fluid dynamics can provide a valuable tool in the study of finite time blowups in hydrodynamics.
We will derive the inequality for relativistic and non-relativistic fluid flows in general dimension and analyze its implications.

NLTT 11748 - The first eclipsing detached double WD binary

UCSB/LCOGTOrganizer Nella and Leon Benoziyo Center for AstrophysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about NLTT 11748 is the first detached double white dwarf (WD) bin...» NLTT 11748 is the first detached double white dwarf (WD) binary system where eclipses have been discovered. It is also the first such system including a low mass, helium core WD. I will present the discovery of the system, and the interesting astrophysical phenomena that can be observed in it. One of those is the relativistic beaming effect, where the unique WD mass-luminosity relation leads to a relatively large beaming-induced variability amplitude, which we were able to detect from the ground. Finally, I will briefly discuss our plans to look for additional similar systems. -

A wave-particle duality at a macroscopic-scale, the role of a path memory
More information Time 11:15 - 12:30Location Edna and K.B. Weissman Building of Physical SciencesLecturer Yves Couder
Laboratoire Matière et Systèmes Complexes Université Paris Diderot -ParisOrganizer Faculty of PhysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about The behavior of the fundamental objects of physics at quantu...» The behavior of the fundamental objects of physics at quantum scale is dominated by the wave-particle duality. This characteristic is usually thought to have no equivalent in macroscopic physics where mass-like objects and waves are distinct entities. We have shown recently that a droplet bouncing on a vertically vibrated liquid interface can become dynamically coupled to the surface wave it excites. It thus becomes a self-propelled "walker", a symbiotic object formed by the droplet and its associated wave. ¬¬
Through several experiments, we address one central question. How can a continuous and spatially extended wave have a common dynamics with a localized and discrete droplet? They show that whenever the wave is split (diffraction, interference, tunneling etc…), an uncertainty appears in the droplet behavior. Another asset of this system is that when a transverse force is exerted on the droplet its possible orbits take a discrete set of quantized values. To what extend these results can be compared to the quantum situation will be discussed. Finally I will show that these interesting behaviours are due, in our system, to a spatio-temporal non-locality that we called its wave-mediated path memory.
