TL;DR: This work proposes an experimental method to detect geometric phases in a superconducting device and discusses how interferometry based on geometrical phases may be realized, and how the effect may be applied to the design of gates for quantum computation.
Abstract: When a quantum-mechanical system undergoes an adiabatic cyclic evolution, it acquires a geometrical phase factor1 in addition to the dynamical one; this effect has been demonstrated in a variety of microscopic systems2 Advances in nanotechnology should enable the laws of quantum dynamics to be tested at the macroscopic level3, by providing controllable artificial two-level systems (for example, in quantum dots4 and superconducting devices5,6) Here we propose an experimental method to detect geometric phases in a superconducting device The setup is a Josephson junction nanocircuit consisting of a superconducting electron box We discuss how interferometry based on geometrical phases may be realized, and show how the effect may be applied to the design of gates for quantum computation

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D Lagrangian implicit, coupled, rigid-viscoplastic model for friction stir welding process is proposed, which correctly predicts the non-symmetric nature of FSW process, and the relationships between the tool forces and the variation in the process parameters.
Abstract: Although friction stir welding (FSW) has been successfully used to join materials that are difficult-to-weld or unweldeable by fusion welding methods, it is still in its early development stage and, therefore, a scientific knowledge based predictive model is of significant help for thorough understanding of FSW process. In this paper, a continuum based FEM model for friction stir welding process is proposed, that is 3D Lagrangian implicit, coupled, rigid-viscoplastic. This model is calibrated by comparing with experimental results of force and temperature distribution, then is used to investigate the distribution of temperature and strain in heat affect zone and the weld nugget. The model correctly predicts the non-symmetric nature of FSW process, and the relationships between the tool forces and the variation in the process parameters. It is found that the effective strain distribution is non-symmetric about the weld line while the temperature profile is almost symmetric in the weld zone.

TL;DR: This review will focus on exosomes as intercellular signaling organelles involved in a number of physiological as well as pathological processes and their potential use in clinical diagnostics and therapeutics.
Abstract: Cell to cell communication is essential for the coordination and proper organization of different cell types in multicellular systems. Cells exchange information through a multitude of mechanisms such as secreted growth factors and chemokines, small molecules (peptides, ions, bioactive lipids and nucleotides), cell-cell contact and the secretion of extracellular matrix components. Over the last few years, however, a considerable amount of experimental evidence has demonstrated the occurrence of a sophisticated method of cell communication based on the release of specialized membranous nano-sized vesicles termed exosomes. Exosome biogenesis involves the endosomal compartment, the multivesicular bodies (MVB), which contain internal vesicles packed with an extraordinary set of molecules including enzymes, cytokines, nucleic acids and different bioactive compounds. In response to stimuli, MVB fuse with the plasma membrane and vesicles are released in the extracellular space where they can interact with neighboring cells and directly induce a signaling pathway or affect the cellular phenotype through the transfer of new receptors or even genetic material. This review will focus on exosomes as intercellular signaling organelles involved in a number of physiological as well as pathological processes and their potential use in clinical diagnostics and therapeutics.

TL;DR: Findings support the assumption that a correct distinction of HNSCC by site, together with the use of more sensitive HPV DNA detection methods, should be considered as essential prerogatives in designing future investigations into viral prevalence in head and neck tumors.
