Mathematical imaging methods for mitosis analysis in live-cell phase contrast microscopy
(ElsevierMethods, 2017-02-15)In this paper we propose a workflow to detect and track mitotic cells in time-lapse microscopy image sequences. In order to avoid the requirement for cell lines expressing fluorescent markers and the associated phototoxicity, ...

On the equal-mass limit of precessing black-hole binaries
(Institute of PhysicsClassical and Quantum Gravity, 2017-03-23)We analyze the inspiral dynamics of equal-mass precessing black-hole binaries using multi-timescale techniques. The orbit-averaged post-Newtonian evolutionary equations admit two constants of motion in the equal-mass limit, ...

Using inpainting to construct accurate cut-sky CMB estimators
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology, 2017-02-23)The direct evaluation of manifestly optimal, cut-sky cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum and bispectrum estimators is numerically very costly, due to the presence of inverse-covariance filtering operations. ...

Coherent structures in interacting vortex rings
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review Fluids, 2017-02-21)We investigate experimentally the nonlinear structures that develop from interacting vortex rings induced by a sinusoidally oscillating ellipsoidal disk in fluid at rest. We vary the scaled amplitude or Keulegan-Carpenter ...

Dynamical α-cluster model of $^{16}$O
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review C, 2017-03-09)We calculate the low-lying spectrum of the $^{16}$O nucleus using an α-cluster model which includes the important tetrahedral and square configurations. Our approach is motivated by the dynamics of α-particle scattering ...

Autophoretic flow on a torus
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review Fluids, 2017-03-02)Phoretic swimmers provide new avenues to study nonequilibrium statistical physics and are also hailed as a promising technology for bioengineering at the cellular scale. Exact solutions for the locomotion of such swimmers ...

Torsional Alfvén resonances as an efficient damping mechanism for non-radial oscillations in red giant stars
(Oxford University PressMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017-06-01)Stars are self-gravitating fluids in which pressure, buoyancy, rotation and magnetic fields provide the restoring forces for global modes of oscillation. Pressure and buoyancy energetically dominate, while rotation and ...

Towards radiative transitions in charmonium
(Proceedings of Science, 2016-01-01)We present preliminary calculations towards radiative transitions in charmonium using anisotropic $\textit{Nf}$=2+1 dynamical ensembles generated by the Hadron Spectrum Collaboration. With the use of newer technologies we ...

Charmonium and charmed meson spectroscopy from lattice QCD
(Proceedings of Science34th annual International Symposium on Lattice Field Theoryhttps://pos.sissa.it/cgi-bin/reader/contribution.cgi?id=256/137, 2017-01-25)Spectra of highly excited hidden and open-charm mesons calculated on dynamical lattice QCD ensembles with a pion mass of M$_{π}$ $\sim$ 240 MeV are presented and compared to previous results obtained on a lattice where ...

Integrable Abelian vortex-like solitons
(ElsevierPhysics Letters B, 2017-05-10)We propose a modified version of the Ginzburg–Landau energy functional admitting static solitons and determine all the Painlevé-integrable cases of its Bogomolny equations of a given class of models. Explicit solutions are ...

On Multi-Level Thinking and Scientific Understanding
(SpringerSpringerAdvances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2017-10)Professor Duzheng YE’s name has been familiar to me ever since my postdoctoral years at MIT with Professors Jule CHARNEY and Norman PHILLIPS, back in the late 1960s. I had the enormous pleasure of meeting Professor YE ...

Theory of Shape-Shifting Droplets
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review Letters, 2017-02-24)Recent studies of cooled oil emulsion droplets uncovered transformations into a host of flattened shapes with straight edges and sharp corners, driven by a partial phase transition of the bulk liquid phase. Here, we explore ...

Clustering instability of focused swimmers
(IOP PublishingEurophysics Letters, 2017-02-09)One of the hallmarks of active matter is its rich nonlinear dynamics and instabilities. Recent numerical simulations of phototactic algae showed that a thin jet of swimmers, obtained from hydrodynamic focusing inside a ...

Einstein–Weyl spaces and near-horizon geometry
(IOP PublishingClassical and Quantum Gravity, 2017-02-02)We show that a class of solutions of minimal supergravity in five dimensions is given by lifts of three-dimensional Einstein–Weyl structures of hyper-CR type. We characterise this class as most general near-horizon limits ...

Nonthermal fixed points in quantum field theory beyond the weak-coupling limit
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology, 2017-02-22)Quantum systems in extreme conditions can exhibit universal behavior far from equilibrium associated to nonthermal fixed points with a wide range of topical applications from early-Universe inflaton dynamics and heavy-ion ...

Geometric tuning of self-propulsion for Janus catalytic particles
(Nature Publishing GroupScientific Reports, 2017-02-13)Catalytic swimmers have attracted much attention as alternatives to biological systems for examining collective microscopic dynamics and the response to physico-chemical signals. Yet, understanding and predicting even the ...

Tropical Amplitudes
In this work, we argue that the α′→0 limit of closed string theory scattering amplitudes is a tropical limit. The motivation is to develop a technology to systematize the extraction of Feynman graphs from string theory ...

More Abelian dualities in 2 + 1 dimensions
(SpringerJournal of High Energy Physics, 2017-01-01)We expand on the recent derivation of 3d dualities using bosonization. We present in some detail a general class of Abelian duals.

Dynamical symmetries in Brans-Dicke cosmology
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review D, 2017-01-20)In the context of generalized Brans-Dicke cosmology we use the Killing tensors of the minisuperspace in order to determine the unspecified potential of a scalar-tensor gravity theory. Specifically, based on the existence ...

Non-diagonal four-dimensional cohomogeneity-one Einstein metrics in various signatures
(ElsevierDifferential Geometry and its Application, 2016-11-11)Most known four-dimensional cohomogeneity-one Einstein metrics are diagonal in a basis defined by the left-invariant one-forms, though some essentially non-diagonal ones are known. We consider the problem of explicitly ...
