Magnetoelectric polarizability and axion electrodynamics in crystalline insulators

Abstract: The orbital motion of electrons in a three-dimensional solid can generate a pseudoscalar magnetoelectric coupling $\ensuremath{\theta}$, a fact we derive for the single-particle case using a recent theory of polarization in weakly inhomogeneous materials. This polarizability $\ensuremath{\theta}$ is the same parameter that appears in the ``axion electrodynamics'' Lagrangian $\ensuremath{\Delta}{\mathcal{L}}_{EM}=(\ensuremath{\theta}{e}^{2}/2\ensuremath{\pi}h)\mathbf{E}\ifmmode\cdot\else\textperiodcentered\fi{}\mathbf{B}$, which is known to describe the unusual magnetoelectric properties of the three-dimensional topological insulator ($\ensuremath{\theta}=\ensuremath{\pi}$). We compute $\ensuremath{\theta}$ for a simple model that accesses the topological insulator and discuss its connection to the surface Hall conductivity. The orbital magnetoelectric polarizability can be generalized to the many-particle wave function and defines the 3D topological insulator, like the integer quantum Hall effect, in terms of a topological ground-state response function.

The RCSB protein data bank: integrative view of protein, gene and 3D structural information

Abstract: The Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB, http://rcsborg), the US data center for the global PDB archive, makes PDB data freely available to all users, from structural biologists to computational biologists and beyond New tools and resources have been added to the RCSB PDB web portal in support of a 'Structural View of Biology' Recent developments have improved the User experience, including the high-speed NGL Viewer that provides 3D molecular visualization in any web browser, improved support for data file download and enhanced organization of website pages for query, reporting and individual structure exploration Structure validation information is now visible for all archival entries PDB data have been integrated with external biological resources, including chromosomal position within the human genome; protein modifications; and metabolic pathways PDB-101 educational materials have been reorganized into a searchable website and expanded to include new features such as the Geis Digital Archive

Revisiting the relationships among gender, marital status, and mental health.

Abstract: Three decades ago, Gove introduced his sex‐role theory of mental illness, which attributes women’s higher rates of psychological distress to their roles in society. Central to his hypothesis is that marriage is emotionally advantageous for men and disadvantageous for women. This article revisits this topic with data from the National Survey of Families and Households. The analyses indicate that the emotional benefits of marriage apply equally to men and women, but that men and women respond to marital transitions with different types of emotional problems. The implications of these findings for future research on gender and mental health are discussed.
