    Abstract: Provided herein are methods and systems for absolute quantification of a target 16S rRNA and/or of a target prokaryotic taxon, based on amplifying and sequencing a same 16S rRNA recognition segment in which target 16S rRNA conserved regions flank 16S rRNA variable regions, conserved and variable among a plurality of sample 16S rRNAs and/or of a sample prokaryotic taxon of higher taxonomic rank with respect to the target taxon. In the methods and systems, absolute abundance of the a plurality of sample 16S rRNAs and/or of the sample prokaryotic taxon detected by the amplifying, is multiplied by the relative abundance of the target 16S rRNA and/or of a target prokaryotic taxon detected by the sequencing to provide the absolute quantification in accordance with method and systems of the disclosure.

    Abstract: A device implementing a nonlinear activation function including a material having nonlinear susceptibility phase-matching a coherent nonlinear interaction involving a signal comprising a signal wavelength and a bias comprising a bias wavelength, so that (1) a first phase difference between the signal and the bias induces the interaction comprising second harmonic generation (generating a second harmonic of the bias wavelength) or sum frequency generation (generating a sum frequency of the bias and the signal, and (2) a second phase difference between the signal and the bias induces the interaction comprising parametric amplification amplifying the bias and attenuating the signal. A positive input to the nonlinear activation function is represented by the signal having an input energy and the first phase difference. A negative input is represented by second phase difference. The output is an output energy of the signal as function of the input energy.

    Abstract: A superconducting composition of matter including overlapping first and second regions. The regions comprise unit cells of a solid, the first region comprises an electrical insulator or semiconductor, and the second region comprises a metallic electrical conductor. The second region extends through the solid and a subset of said second region comprise surface metal unit cells that are adjacent to at least one unit cell from the first region. The ratio of the number of said surface metal unit cells to the total number of unit cells in the second region being at least 20 percent.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein include methods, compositions, and kits enabling expression of multiple payload proteins from a single mRNA configured to achieve a predetermined stoichiometry of first unit payload protein(s) and second unit payload protein(s) in a cell or cell-like environment. There are provided, in some embodiments, nucleic acid compositions comprising a polynucleotide comprising a first nucleic acid unit (encoding one or more first unit payload protein(s)) and a second nucleic acid unit (encoding one or more second unit payload protein(s)). The first nucleic acid unit and the second nucleic acid unit can each comprise an engineered translation initiation site (eTIS) comprising a three-nucleotide tunable element immediately upstream of a start codon. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid composition comprises at least one modified nucleotide and/or at least one nucleotide analogue or nucleotide derivative. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide comprises a disclosed eTIS combination.

    Abstract: A phased-array includes, in part, N transceivers each including a receiver and a transmitter, and a controller. The phased array is configured to transmit a first radio signal from a first element of the array during a first time period, receive the first radio signal from a second element of the array, recover a first value associated with the radio signal received by the second element, transmit a second radio signal from the second element of the array during a second time period, receive the second radio signal from the first element of the array, recover a second value associated with the radio signal received by the first element, and determine a first phase of a reference signal received by the second element from the recovered first and second values. The first phase is relative to a second phase of the reference signal received by the first element.
