Abstract Pathologic α-synuclein (α-syn) spreads from cell-to-cell, in part, through binding to the lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (Lag3). Here we report that amyloid β precursor-like protein 1 (Aplp1) interacts with Lag3 facilitates binding, internalization, transmission, and toxicity of pathologic α-syn. Deletion both Aplp1 eliminates loss dopaminergic neurons accompanying behavioral deficits induced by α-syn preformed fibrils (PFF). Anti-Lag3 prevents internalization PFF disrupting...
Attention-based arbitrary style transfer methods have gained significant attention recently due to their impressive ability synthesize details. However, the point-wise matching within mechanism may overly focus on local patterns such that neglect remarkable global features of images. Additionally, when processing large images, quadratic complexity will bring high computational load. To alleviate above problems, we propose Holistic Style Injector (HSI), a novel attention-style transformation...

Operation of the JLab IR Upgrade FEL at CW powers in excess 10 kW requires sustained production high electron beam by driver ERL. This turn demands attention to numerous issues and effects, including: cathode lifetime; control beamline RF system vacuum during current operation; longitudinal space charge; transverse matching irregular/large volume phase distributions; halo management; management remnant dispersive effects; resistive wall, wake-field, heating chambers; break up instability;...
High-power, relativistic electron beams from energy-recovering linacs have great potential to realize new experimental paradigms for pioneering innovation in fundamental and applied research. A major design consideration this generation of capabilities is the understanding halo associated with these bright, intense beams. In Letter, we report on measurements performed using 100 MeV, 430 kW cw beam linac at Jefferson Laboratory's Free Electron Laser facility as it traversed a set small...
Abstract Advances in superconducting linac technology offer the possibility of an upgrade Jefferson Lab Free Electron Laser (JLab FEL) facility to oscillator-based VUV-FEL that would produce 6 × 1012 coherent 100 eV photons per pulse at multi-MHz repetition rates fundamental.

A non-invasive, real time, method for measuring the longitudinal emittance of electron bunches can be realized by using electro-optic (EO) detection schemes. Implementation an EO beam diagnostic within Colorado State University and Jefferson Laboratory beamlines necessitates investigation into how high average power beams affect various crystals. Damage mechanisms from proximity to e-beam heavy radiation halo damage viability such a procedure. This study seeks characterize these effects...
A polarimeter was constructed to measure the longitudinal polarization of a spin-polarized electron beam at 5 and 7 MeV.

This so-called transmission is compact relatively inexpensive compared Mott-scattering polarimeters because no spin manipulator required. work presents design radiator, magnet,...
From the early days of free-electron lasers (FELs), idea lasing at wavelengths where gain media had not previously existed was one most attractive aspects these devices. The spectral region in soft X-ray both inviting, due to exciting physics could do with such a source, and challenging, need for very bright electron beam (high charge density), high overcome cavity losses, cost providing all this energies high-duty-cycle beams. Electron brightness is defined as ratio peak current product...
