54. Designing effective anticancer-radiopeptide carriers A Molecular Dynamics study of their interaction with model tumor and healthy cell membranes

Velia Minicozzi (ROMA2)

13/12/2017, 14:30

We present in this talk an extensive Molecular Dynamics study of the interaction between a newly designed anticancer-radiopeptide and (models of) tumor and healthy cell membranes. Inspired by the mechanism by which antimicrobial peptides interact with the negatively charged bacterial membranes, we have modified the human antimicrobial peptide LL-37 to get a functionalized radionuclide...

37. Yield Transition and Controlled Fluidization of Soft-Glassy Materials

Matteo Lulli (ROMA2)

Emulsions are soft-glassy materials made of non-coalescing droplets moving in a continuous component. Above the jamming point, they display unique properties that endow them with both solid and plastic features: when an external forcing is applied the system responds as an elastic solid until a threshold is overcome, the so-called yield stress, above which the system flows through a series of...

38. Entanglement measures in Extended Quantum Systems: The Negativity Spectrum

Paola Ruggiero (T)

13/12/2017, 15:10

In recent years the irruption in other research fields of concepts and methods coming from Quantum Information Theory turned out to be very fruitful. So far, particular attention has been devoted to the characterization of different measures of entanglement [1, 2] in physical states of extended systems such as quantum field theories (QFT) and more generally speaking many-body quantum...

41. Chaotic dynamical phase induced by non-equilibrium quantum fluctuations

Alessio Lerose (TS)

13/12/2017, 15:30

In recent years, the dynamical consequences of spontaneous symmetry breaking have been investigated: What is the fate of the order parameter when the system is driven away from equilibrium? Mean-field analyses suggest that dynamical criticality sistematically appears. However, they rigorously describe unrealistic infinite-range of infinite-dimensional limits, where few collective...

53. Corner contributions to holographic entanglement entropy in AdS4/BCFT3

Jacopo Sisti (TS)

13/12/2017, 15:50

Entanglement entropy of a subsystem is a quantity of great interest in statistical physics, condensed matter and high energy physics. In conformal field theories (CFTs) that admit a gravitational dual description via the AdS/CFT correspondence, the entanglement entropy can be studied by computing the area of the minimal surfaces anchored to the boundary of the subsystem. While much work has...

68. Thermal fluctuations of an interface near a contact line

Daniele Belardinelli (ROMA2)

13/12/2017, 16:10

The effect of thermal fluctuations near a contact line of a liquid interface partially wetting an impenetrable substrate is studied analytically and numerically. Promoting both the interface profile and the contact line position to random variables, we explore the equilibrium properties of the corresponding fluctuating contact line problem based on an interfacial Hamiltonian involving a...
