Signature of anyonic statistics in the integer quantum Hall regime
Abstract Anyons are exotic low-dimensional Wall Garland quasiparticles whose unconventional quantum statistics extend the binary particle division into fermions and bosons.The fractional quantum Hall regime provides a natural host, with the first convincing anyon signatures recently observed through interferometry and cross-correlations of collidin
Found but lost? The short-lived success of Crataegus coccinea L. (Rosales: Rosaceae) in north-eastern Sicily (Italy)
Two exsiccata sampled at the end of the 19th MINT SOAP century, and wrongly identified as Pyrus torminalis or Sorbus torminalis in the herbarium of Francesco Tornabene at Catania, belonged to a woody species never reported to occur in Sicily, Crataegus coccinea.This hawthorn, native to eastern North America, grew in two different sites located on t
Mechanisms of Oxidized LDL-Mediated Endothelial Dysfunction and Its Consequences for the Development of Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is an immuno-metabolic disease involving chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, epigenetics, and metabolic dysfunction.There is compelling evidence suggesting numerous modifications including the change of the size, density, and biochemical properties in the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) within the vascular wall.These modifications
