Effects of Ionizing Radiation on Luminous Bacteria Cells
Marine luminous bacteria were used to monitor toxicity of alpha(Am-241, U-235+238) and beta(tritium) radionuclide solutions. Increase or inhibition of bacterial luminescence was observed under exposure to radionuclides. Radiation toxicity of Am and chemical toxicity of U were demonstrated. Effects of U were similar to those of stable heavy metals: sensitivy was about 10M. Sensitivity of the bac...
متن کاملLuminous Phenomena of Earthquakes: Observations and Theories
Over the past few years, different theories (piezoelectric, positive holes, friction-vaporization, exo-electron emission, tribo- or fracture electrification) have been presented for the interpretation of earthquake lights. Although these theories can interpret earthquake luminous, each suffer from particular problems. There are also ambiguities and questions about the location of the light, the...
متن کاملOn Meteors, Earthworms and Wimps
We study a model of mass redistribution on a finite graph. We address the questions of convergence to equilibrium and the rate of convergence. We present theorems on the distribution of empty sites and the distribution of mass at a fixed vertex. These distributions are related to random permutations with certain peak sets.
متن کاملOn the Radiative Efficiencies, Eddington Ratios, and Duty Cycles of Luminous High-redshift Quasars
We investigate the characteristic radiative efficiency ǫ, Eddington ratio λ, and duty cycle P0 of high-redshift active galactic nuclei (AGN), drawing on measurements of the AGN luminosity function at z = 3 − 6 and, especially, on recent measurements of quasar clustering at z = 3 − 4.5 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The free parameters of our models are ǫ, λ, and the normalization, scatter, ...
متن کاملPhotoacoustic Sounds from Meteors
Concurrent sound associated with very bright meteors manifests as popping, hissing, and faint rustling sounds occurring simultaneously with the arrival of light from meteors. Numerous instances have been documented with -11 to -13 brightness. These sounds cannot be attributed to direct acoustic propagation from the upper atmosphere for which travel time would be several minutes. Concurrent soun...
