The Potential of Olfactory Stimuli in Stress Reduction through Virtual Reality
Immersive virtual reality (VR) is a promising tool for stress reduction and relaxation, traditionally relying on visual and auditory stimuli. This study examines the role of olfactory stimuli in enhancing these effects, using a randomized within-subject design. Thirty participants aged 18-60 experienced VR scenarios simulating a calming seaside environment, with sessions lasting 45 minutes, in two conditions: with and without a "Beach" essential oil scent (Yankee Candle) administered via diffus…

Sonnet 107 - CVII
Not mine own fears, nor the prophetic soul
Of the wide world dreaming on things to come,
Can yet the lease of my true love control,
Supposed as forfeit to a confined doom.
The mortal moon hath her eclipse endured,
And the sad augurs mock their own presage;
Incertainties now crown themselves assured,
And peace proclaims olives of endless age.
Now with the drops of this most balmy time,
My love looks fresh, and Death…

Machine Learning-driven Multiscale MD Workflows: The Mini-MuMMI Experience
Computational models have become one of the prevalent methods to model complex phenomena. To accurately model complex interactions, such as detailed biomolecular interactions, scientists often rely on multiscale models comprised of several internal models operating at difference scales, ranging from microscopic to macroscopic length and time scales. Bridging the gap between different time and length scales has historically been challenging but the advent of newer machine learning (ML) approache…

Olfactory Inertial Odometry: Methodology for Effective Robot Navigation by Scent
Olfactory navigation is one of the most primitive mechanisms of exploration used by organisms. Navigation by machine olfaction (artificial smell) is a very difficult task to both simulate and solve. With this work, we define olfactory inertial odometry (OIO), a framework for using inertial kinematics, and fast-sampling olfaction sensors to enable navigation by scent analogous to visual inertial odometry (VIO). We establish how principles from SLAM and VIO can be extrapolated to olfaction to ena…

MINDS: Detection of an inner gas disk caused by evaporating bodies around HD 172555
Mechanisms such as collisions of rocky bodies or cometary activity give rise to dusty debris disks. Debris disks trace the leftover building blocks of planets, and thus also planetary composition. HD 172555, a stellar twin of beta Pic, hosts a debris disk thought to have resulted from a giant collision. It is known for its extreme mid-infrared silica dust feature, indicating a warm population of silica-rich grains in the asteroid belt (~5 au), cold CO observed by ALMA, and small bodies evaporat…

Probing Strong-Field QED via Angle-Discriminated Emissions from Electrons Traversing Colliding Laser Pulses

Probing Strong-Field QED via Angle-Discriminated Emissions from Electrons Traversing Colliding Laser Pulses
Future laser-electron colliders will reach quantum parameters $χ$ well in excess of unity, enabling studies of strong-field QED in extreme regimes. However, statistical inference in such experiments requires mitigating premature radiative losses of electrons to enable high-$χ$ QED events, as well as separating the detectable signal of these events from that of lower-$χ$ particles and photons produced by QED cascades. We propose a collider geometry in which electrons traverse the waist of two…

Beyond Olfaction: New Insights into Human Odorant Binding Proteins
Until today, the exact function of mammalian odorant binding proteins (OBPs) remains a topic of debate. Although their main established function lacks direct evidence in human olfaction, OBPs are traditionally believed to act as odorant transporters in the olfactory sense, which led to the exploration of OBPs as biomimetic sensor units in artificial noses. Now, available RNA-seq and proteomics data identified the expression of human OBPs (hOBP2A and hOBP2B) in both, male and female reproductive…
