  2. 21. Quantum Chemical Studies of Chemotherapeutic Drug Cisplatin : Activation and Binding to DNA

    Author : Johan Raber; David van der Spoel; Paolo Carloni; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Quantum chemistry; cisplatin; quantum chemistry; DNA; density functional theory; activation; JM118; substitution reaction; Platinum; guanine; adenine; cytostatic drug; aquation; anation; activation; Kvantkemi;

    Abstract : The serendipitous discovery of the potent cytotoxic properties of cisplatin brought about a revolution in the treatment of certain types of cancer, but almost fifty years later, there still remain unknown areas in the chemistry of cisplatin. There are questions regarding which form of the drug reaches its DNA target, or why certain DNA sequences are more preferred than others for reaction with cisplatin. READ MORE

  4. 22. Topics on D-branes and Holography

    Author : Mikael Smedbäck; Joseph Minahan; Anton Alekseev; Paolo Di Vecchia; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Theoretical physics; theoretical physics; string theory; D-branes; dualities; AdS CFT; spin chains; Bethe ansatz; boundary conformal field theory; conformal bootstrap; tachyon condensation; string field theory; loop quantum gravity; black holes; area spectrum; Hawking radiation; holographic principle; Teoretisk fysik; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : We discuss various aspects of D-branes in string theory and holography in string theory and loop quantum gravity.One way to study D-branes is from a microscopic perspective, using conformal field theory techniques. For example, we investigate the question of how D-branes can be introduced into orbifolded theories. READ MORE

  5. 23. Torn, Spun and Chopped : Various Limits of String Theory

    Author : Fredric Kristiansson; Ulf Danielsson; Per Sundell; Bo Sundborg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Theoretical physics; Theoretical physics; String theory; D-branes; Non-commutative open string theory; AdS CFT; Higher spin gauge theory; BMN; String bits; Fermion doubling; Teoretisk fysik; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : For the first time in the history of physics we stand in front of a theory that might actually serve as a unification of it all - string theory. It provides a self-consistent framework for gravity and quantum mechanics, which naturally incorporates matter and gauge interactions of the type seen in the standard model. READ MORE

  6. 24. Quasiparticles in the Quantum Hall Effect

    Author : Janik Kailasvuori; Thors Hans Hansson; Jan Myrheim; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quantum Hall effect; quasiparticles; noncommutative Chern-Simons theory; nonabelian statistics; thin torus; p-wave superconductivity; topology; index theory; effective gauge fields; Condensed matter physics; Kondenserade materiens fysik;

    Abstract : The fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE), discovered in 1982 in a two-dimensional electron system, has generated a wealth of successful theory and new concepts in condensed matter physics, but is still not fully understood. The possibility of having nonabelian quasiparticle statistics has recently attracted attention on purely theoretical grounds but also because of its potential applications in topologically protected quantum computing.
