Tailoring The Correlation And Anticorrelation Behavior Of Path-Entangled Photons In Glauber-Fock Oscillator Lattices, Armando Perez-Leija, Robert Keil, Alexander Szameit, Ayman F. Abouraddy, Hector Moya-Cessa, Demetrios N. Christodoulides

Faculty Bibliography 2010s

We demonstrate that single-photon as well as biphoton revivals are possible in a new class of dynamic optical systems-the so-called Glauber-Fock oscillator lattices. In these arrays, both Bloch-like oscillations and dynamic delocalization can occur which can be described in closed form. The bunching and antibunching response of path-entangled photons can be pre-engineered in such coupled optical arrangements, and the emulation of fermionic behavior in this family of lattices is also considered. We elucidate these effects via pertinent examples.

Linking The Transcriptional Profiles And The Physiological States Of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis During An Extended Intracellular Infection, Kyle H. Rohde, Diogo F. T. Veiga, Shannon Caldwell, Gábor Balázsi, David G. Russell

Faculty Bibliography 2010s

Intracellular pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis have evolved strategies for coping with the pressures encountered inside host cells. The ability to coordinate global gene expression in response to environmental and internal cues is one key to their success. Prolonged survival and replication within macrophages, a key virulence trait of M. tuberculosis, requires dynamic adaptation to diverse and changing conditions within its phagosomal niche. However, the physiological adaptations during the different phases of this infection process remain poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we have developed a multi-tiered approach to define the temporal patterns of gene expression in M. tuberculosis …

Robust Quantification Of Polymerase Chain Reactions Using Global Fitting, Ana C. Carr, Sean D. Moore Jan 2012

Robust Quantification Of Polymerase Chain Reactions Using Global Fitting, Ana C. Carr, Sean D. Moore

Faculty Bibliography 2010s

Background: Quantitative polymerase chain reactions (qPCR) are used to monitor relative changes in very small amounts of DNA. One drawback to qPCR is reproducibility: measuring the same sample multiple times can yield data that is so noisy that important differences can be dismissed. Numerous analytical methods have been employed that can extract the relative template abundance between samples. However, each method is sensitive to baseline assignment and to the unique shape profiles of individual reactions, which gives rise to increased variance stemming from the analytical procedure itself. Principal Findings: We developed a simple mathematical model that accurately describes the entire …

Remote Sensing Spatiotemporal Assessment Of Nitrogen Concentrations In Tampa Bay, Florida Due To A Drought, Ni-Bin Chang, Zhemin Xuan, Brent Wimberly

Faculty Bibliography 2010s

A long-term low nitrogen to phosphorus (N:P) ratio in the Tampa Bay, Florida, estuary system suggests that nitrogen is more limiting than phosphorus. However, south Florida suffered from a drought around 2007, and the reduction in runoff flowing into the bay affected local ecosystem dynamics. This study presents a remote sensing study to retrieve spatiotemporal patterns of total nitrogen (TN) concentrations in Tampa Bay under drought impacts through the integration of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) images and a genetic programming (GP) model. Research findings show that the drought impact on TN in Tampa Bay is both a seasonal and …

Abruptly Autofocusing And Autodefocusing Optical Beams With Arbitrary Caustics, Ioannis D. Chremmos, Zhigang Chen, Demetrios N. Christodoulides, Nikolaos K. Efremidis

Faculty Bibliography 2010s

We propose a simple yet efficient method for generating abruptly autofocusing optical beams with arbitrary caustics. In addition, we introduce a family of abruptly autodefocusing beams whose maximum intensity suddenly decreases by orders of magnitude right after the target. The method relies on appropriately modulating the phase of a circularly symmetric optical wavefront, such as that of a Gaussian, and subsequently on Fourier-transforming it by means of a lens. If two such beams are superimposed in a Bessel-like standing wave pattern, then a complete mirror-symmetric, with respect to the focal plane, caustic surface of revolution is formed that can be …
