Analysis of 10,000-eV dielectronic resonances using 80-eV forbidden lines

Atomic Spectroscopy Group Quantum Measurement Division National Institute of Standards and TechnologyOrganizer Department of Particle Physics and AstrophysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about The history of dielectronic recombination (DR) is fill of, s...» The history of dielectronic recombination (DR) is fill of, skepticism, hope, excitement, and finally, clear realization of its importance for hot high-Z plasmas. Using the NIST electron beam ion trap (EBIT), that is capable of reproducing conditions of future multi-million-Kelvin fusion reactors, we study dielectronic recombination in >50-times ionized heavy elements (such as tungsten) using highly forbidden low-energy magnetic-dipole lines. The newly proposed method allows for simultaneous in situ measurements of dielectronic resonances for several ions without "standard" beam ramping or ion extraction. Large-scale DR simulations show a strong effect of anisotropic unidirectional propagation of the electron beam on the plasma ionization balance. -

Autocatalytic processes lead to the emergence of macroscopic dynamics out of microscopic interactions
More information Time All dayLecturer Sorin Solomon
Hebrew UniversityOrganizer Department of Physics of Complex SystemsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about In statistical physics the emergence of large scale collecti...» In statistical physics the emergence of large scale collective phenomena out of local interactions between simple agents takes place in general only for very special (zero measure) / critical values of the parameters (temperature, pressure, etc). Yet, in nature collective objects and their large scale dynamics are ubiquitous features dominating our daily experience. Each of the last decades proposed a different generic mechanism for the emergence of macroscopic complex dynamics out of local microscopic laws. Nowadays it seems that most of the instances in which microscopic events are promoted to macroscopic changes are related to some form of autocatalytic process. Identifying the relevant autocatalytic process allows one to gain nderstanding and control on the seemingly messy empirical systems.
I will review some of the instances in which the resulting models were analytically tractable and in which the theoretical predictions were confirmed by the data.

Viral vectors - harness the menace

The Salk Institute for Biological StudiesLa Jolla, CaliforniaOrganizer Department of Life Sciences Core FacilitiesContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Generation of 'gain of function' and 'loss of...» Generation of 'gain of function' and 'loss of function' phenotype is an important technique in modern study of gene function. The most common way is by delivery of recombinant DNA that can specifically alter gene function. While most immortalize tissue culture cells are amenable to DNA and RNA transfections, primary cells and especially live animals are resistant to most nucleic acid delivery methods. Viruses have evolved specialized molecular mechanisms to efficiently transport their genomes inside the cells they infect. Many viruses can be engineered into viral vectors by replacing parts of their genome with that of recombinant DNA (transgene), thus, generating a replication-defective virus that is able to insert its genome (containing recombinant DNA) without replication into the desired cells, organ or organism. In addition, many viral vectors can be engineered to have altered affinity to a specific subset of cells within the targeted tissue. In this talk, we will discuss how the unique abilities of viral vectors can be used to modify and alter gene expression in vivo and more specifically generate novel disease models in cancer (Glioblastoma) and neurodegeneration (Alzheimer's disease) research.
