Abstract: Generations of scholars of different disciplines have struggled with the mystery of conscious awareness. How does it come about? And, no less importantly, what does it do? To meet the challenge of scientifically operationalizing this question, different experimental manipulations have been developed. With these methods researchers managed to demonstrate surprisingly high-level forms of unconscious processing, like semantic integration, executive control, emotional judgments, reading and arithmetic operations. Consequently, some have suggested that consciousness may not hold any unique functional role. In this talk, I will present experiments which employ such methods, and point out their implications and limitations. I will then introduce our search for new means to probe unconscious processes and examine consciousness' role in thought and behavior.

FFF and GPC/SEC are both well-established techniques for the characterization of macromolecules. The two techniques partially overlap in their application areas and technique capabilities. One strong advantage of the FFF technique is its ability to separate and give valuable information on more complex samples such as colloids and nanoparticle suspensions. Now, these methods can be fully exploited in a single platform from Postnova.
Due to the growing interest in Israel in investigating and separating extra-cellular vesicles, we bring you this seminar which will introduce the FFF and SEC/GPC platforms, as powerful tools for various fields of research. The seminar will include examples from a wide range of applications, with a special focus on biological research. We will also present the advantages of the different detection capabilities including: UV, RI, MALS, Viscometry, DLS and ICP-MS

I discuss phenomenological consequences in collider physics of the Higgs boson arising from enhanced down, up, strange, and charm Yukawa couplings. I highlight a possible induced modification of the charge asymmetry in $W^+ h$ vs.~$W^- h$ production as a result of large, enhanced Yukawa couplings. This motivates a collider study of the same-sign lepton final state, $p p o W^pm h o ell^pm
u ell^pm
u jj$, which can serve as a Standard Model discovery scenario for the $W^pm h$ production mode with 100 fb$^{-1}$ luminosity. We find the prospects of this final state as a probe of nonstandard Yukawa couplings, however, are diminished unless the Higgs couplings to vector bosons are increased beyond the SM expectation or the extra increase in the Higgs width from the enhanced Yukawas is simultaneously mitigated. I also briefly discuss the concomitant effects of new $s$-channel Higgs production from enhanced light quark Yukawa couplings.
