We propose a class of simple dark energy models which predict a late-time dark radiation component and a distinctive time-dependent equation of state w(z) for redshift z < 3. The dark energy field can be coupled strongly enough to standard model particles to be detected in colliders, and the model requires only modest additional particle content and little or no fine-tuning other than a new energy scale of order milli-electron volts.

AbstractWe reformulate recent insights into black hole information in a manner emphasizing operationally-defined notions of entropy, Lorentz-signature descriptions, and asymptotically flat spacetimes. With the help of replica wormholes, we find that experiments of asymptotic observers are consistent with black holes as unitary quantum systems, with density of states given by the Bekenstein-Hawking formula. However, this comes at the cost of superselection sectors associated with the state of baby universes. Spacetimes studied by Polchinski and Strominger in 1994 provide a simple illustration of the associated concepts and techniques, and we argue them to be a natural late-time extrapolation of replica wormholes. The work aims to be self-contained and, in particular, to be accessible to readers who have not yet mastered earlier formulations of the ideas above.

The goal of this paper is to study new cosmological models where the dark energy is a varying Chaplygin gas. This specific dark energy model with non-linear EoS had been often discussed in modern cosmology. Contrary to previous studies, we consider new forms of non-linear non-gravitational interaction between dark matter and assumed dark energy models. We applied the phase space analysis allowing understanding the late time behavior of the models. It allows demonstrating that considered non-gravitational interactions can solve the cosmological coincidence problem. On the other hand, we applied Bayesian Machine Learning technique to learn the constraints on the free parameters. In this way, we gained a better understanding of the models providing a hint which of them can be ruled out. Moreover, the learning based on the simulated expansion rate data shows that the models cannot solve the H0 tension problem.

Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is the only inducible adhesion receptor for neutrophils identified in bronchial epithelial cells. We stimulated human airway epithelial cells with various agonists to evaluate whether ICAM-1-independent adhesion mechanisms could be elicited. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) stimulation of cells of the alveolar cell line A549 caused a rapid, significant increase in neutrophil adhesion from 11 ± 3 to 49 ± 7% (SE). A significant increase from 17 ± 4 to 39 ± 6% was also observed for neutrophil adhesion to PMA-stimulated human bronchial epithelial cells in primary culture. Although ICAM-1 expression was upregulated by PMA at late time points, it was not affected at 10 min when neutrophil adhesion was already clearly enhanced. Antibodies to ICAM-1 had no effect on neutrophil adhesion. In contrast, antibodies to the leukocyte integrin β-chain CD18 totally inhibited the adhesion of neutrophils to PMA-stimulated epithelial cells. These results demonstrate that PMA stimulation of human airway epithelial cells causes an increase in neutrophil adhesion that is not dependent on ICAM-1 upregulation.

ABSTRACT We revisit the problem of the growth of dense/cold gas in the cloud-crushing set-up with radiative cooling. The relative motion between the dense cloud and the diffuse medium produces a turbulent boundary layer of mixed gas with a short cooling time. This mixed gas may explain the ubiquity of the range of absorption/emission lines observed in various sources such as the circumgalactic medium and galactic/stellar/active galactic nucleus outflows. Recently, Gronke & Oh showed that the efficient radiative cooling of the mixed gas can lead to continuous growth of the dense cloud. They presented a threshold cloud size for the growth of dense gas that was contradicted by the more recent works of Li et al. & Sparre et al. These thresholds are qualitatively different as the former is based on the cooling time of the mixed gas whereas the latter is based on the cooling time of the hot gas. Our simulations agree with the threshold based on the cooling time of the mixed gas. We argue that the radiative cloud-crushing simulations should be run long enough to allow for the late-time growth of the dense gas due to cooling of the mixed gas but not so long that the background gas cools catastrophically. Moreover, the simulation domain should be large enough that the mixed gas is not lost through the boundaries. While the mixing layer is roughly isobaric, the emissivity of the gas at different temperatures is fundamentally different from an isobaric single-phase steady cooling flow.
