Cashew-Induced Oxalate Nephropathy: A hard-to-find Cause of Intense Kidney Failure.
g., involving disorder and interactions.We consider the out-of-equilibrium transport in TT[over ¯]-deformed (1+1)-dimension conformal field theories (CFTs). The theories admit two disparate approaches, integrability and holography, which we make full use of in order to compute the transport quantities, such as the exact nonequilibrium steady state currents. We find perfect agreements between the results obtained from these two methods, which serve as nontrivial checks of the TT[over ¯]-deformed holographic correspondence from the dynamical standpoint. It turns out that integrability also allows us to compute the momentum diffusion, which is given by a universal formula. We also remark on an intriguing connection between the TT[over ¯]-deformed CFTs and reversible cellular automata.We initiate an exploration of the conformal bootstrap for n>4 point correlation functions. Here we bootstrap correlation functions of the lightest scalar gauge invariant operators in planar non-Abelian conformal gauge theories as their locations approach the cusps of a null polygon. For that we consider consistency of the OPE in the so-called snowflake channel with respect to cyclicity transformations which leave the null configuration invariant. For general non-Abelian gauge theories this allows us to strongly constrain the OPE structure constants of up to three large spin J_j operators (and large polarization quantum number l_j) to all loop orders. In N=4 we fix them completely through the duality to null polygonal Wilson loops and the recent origin limit of the hexagon explored by Basso, Dixon, and Papathanasiou.Motivated by the recent development of time-resolved resonant-inelastic x-ray scattering (TRRIXS) in photoexcited antiferromagnetic Mott insulators, we numerically investigate momentum-dependent transient spin dynamics in a half-filled Hubbard model on a square lattice. After turning off a pumping photon pulse, the intensity of a dynamical spin structure factor temporally oscillates with frequencies determined by the energy of two magnons in the antiferromagnetic Mott insulator. We find an antiphase behavior in the oscillations between two orthogonal momentum directions, parallel and perpendicular to the electric field of a pump pulse. The phase difference comes from the B_1g channel of the two-magnon excitation. Observing the antiphase oscillations will be a big challenge for TRRIXS experiments when their time resolution will be improved by more than an order of magnitude.We study signatures of quantum chaos in (1+1)D quantum field theory (QFT) models. Our analysis is based on the method of Hamiltonian truncation, a numerical approach for the construction of low-energy spectra and eigenstates of QFTs that can be considered as perturbations of exactly solvable models. We focus on the double sine-Gordon, also studying the massive sine-Gordon and ϕ^4 model, all of which are nonintegrable and can be studied by this method with sufficiently high precision from small to intermediate perturbation strength. We analyze the statistics of level spacings and of eigenvector components, which are expected to follow random matrix theory predictions. While level spacing statistics are close to the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE) as expected, on the contrary, the eigenvector components follow a distribution markedly different from the expected Gaussian. Unlike in the typical quantum chaos scenario, the transition of level spacing statistics to chaotic behavior takes place already in the perturbative regime. Moreover, the distribution of eigenvector components does not appear to change or approach Gaussian behavior, even for relatively large perturbations. Our results suggest that these features are independent of the choice of model and basis.Linear carbon chains (LCCs) are one-dimensional materials with unique properties, including high Debye temperatures and restricted selection rules for phonon interactions. Consequently, their Raman C-band frequency's temperature dependence is a probe to their thermal properties, which are well described within the Debye formalism even at room temperatures. Therefore, with the basis on a semiempirical approach we show how to use the C band to evaluate the LCCs' internal energy, heat capacity, coefficient of thermal expansion, thermal strain, and Grüneisen parameter, providing universal relations for these quantities in terms of the number of carbons atoms and the temperature.The chemotactic network of Escherichia coli has been studied extensively both biophysically and information theoretically. A-674563 in vitro Nevertheless, connection between these two aspects is still elusive. In this work, we report such a connection. We derive an optimal filtering dynamics under the assumption that E. coli's sensory system optimally infers the binary information whether it is swimming up or down along an exponential ligand gradient from noisy sensory signals. Then we show that a standard biochemical model of the chemotactic network is mathematically equivalent to this information-theoretically optimal dynamics. Moreover, we demonstrate that an experimentally observed nonlinear response relation can be reproduced from the optimal dynamics. These results suggest that the biochemical network of E. coli chemotaxis is designed to optimally extract the binary information along an exponential gradient in a noisy condition.We investigate the intensity interference between pairs of electrons using a spin-polarized electron beam having a high polarization and a narrow energy width. We observe spin-dependent antibunching on the basis of coincident counts of electron pairs performed with a spin-polarized transmission electron microscope, which could control the spin-polarization without any changes in the electron optics. The experimental results show that the time correlation was only affected by the spin polarization, demonstrating that the antibunching is associated with fermionic statistics. The coherent spin-polarized electron beam facilitates the extraction of intrinsic quantum interference.Marangoni instabilities can emerge when a liquid interface is subjected to a concentration or temperature gradient. It is generally believed that for these instabilities bulk effects like buoyancy are negligible compared to interfacial forces, especially on small scales. Consequently, the effect of a stable stratification on the Marangoni instability has hitherto been ignored. Here, however, we show that they can matter. We report, for an immiscible drop immersed in a stably stratified ethanol-water mixture, a new type of oscillatory solutal Marangoni instability that is triggered once the stratification has reached a critical value. We experimentally explore the parameter space spanned by the stratification strength and the drop size and theoretically explain the observed crossover from levitating to bouncing by balancing the advection and diffusion around the drop. Finally, the effect of the stable stratification on the Marangoni instability is surprisingly strongly amplified in confined geometries, leading to an earlier onset.
