The theme of the North in modern Russian folk-horror by Elena A. Safron

“…The author comes to the conclusion that not only supernatural creatures are dangerous to humans, but also nature itself: heroes risk drowning in a swamp, freezing during a snowstorm, etc. Fulfilling the requirements of the genre, writers frighten the reader and make him feel disgust, but at the same time they convey the special attractiveness of the North, reproducing the customs and rituals of autochthonous peoples.…”

Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells into Neuron, Cholinergic, and Glial Cells by Kimia Hosseini, Emilia Lekholm, Aikeremu Ahemaiti, Robert Fredriksson

“…In this study, we carefully combined, optimized, and developed protocols for differentiation of hESCs into adherent monolayer hNSCs over a short period of time, with the possibility of both expansion and freezing. Moreover, the method details further differentiation into neurons, cholinergic neurons, and glial cells in a simple, single step by step protocol. …”

COMPARATIVE STUDIES OF FELINE VIRAL RHINOTRACHEITIS VIRUS FOR ITS REPLICATION PROPERTIES IN DIFFERENT CELL CULTURES by Ye. G. Kokorina, E. I. Elizbarashvili

“…However, the accumulation of feline viral rhinotracheitis virus Grand strain was highest when preliminary adsorption occurred within the specified period of time, monolayer cell cultures were infected with the virus at a dose of 5.5 lg TCID50/ml and roller bottle cultivated, and the рН of the medium was maintained at 7.0–7.4. Single freezing of the virus at a temperature of minus 60 degrees Celsius upon the completion of the cultivation cycle (during 60–72 hours) and its thawing were found to significantly increase the virus titre by 0.5 lg TCID50/ml.…”

De l’Esthétisation à l’anti-symbolisme : les évolutions du corps chez William Carlos Williams by Samantha Lemeunier

“…Nevertheless, at the end of the 1930s, the body is re-naturalized as Williams witnesses the physical degradation of his dying mother; he thus represents the vulnerability of the body in his poems, the textual body freezing in time the fleeting evolutions of the physical body. …”

Quantum state engineering and photon statistics at electromagnetic time interfaces by M. S. Mirmoosa, T. Setälä, A. Norrman

“…Notably, such an analysis reveals and connects various quantum optical phenomena and opportunities arising from the time interface, including photon-pair production and destruction, photon bunching and antibunching, vacuum generation, quantum state discrimination, and quantum state freezing. To bridge theory and experiment, we propose a possible circuit quantum electrodynamics approach for validating our theoretical predictions. …”
