Hadronic models of blazar emission constitute an interesting alternative to the more popular leptonic ones. Using the BL Lac object Mrk 421 as a characteristic example, we present two distinct ways of modeling the spectral energy distribution of blazars in the hadronic context, and we discuss the predictions of each variant on the spectral shape, the multi-wavelength variability, the cosmic-ray...

We present the latest results of searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model with jets in the final state using the ATLAS detector. These analyses are performed with the full LHC 2010 data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The results are based on an integrated luminosity of 33 to 37 pb depending on the analysis. No significant discrepancy is found with t...

Recent results from searches for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) in e-proton collisions at HERA at center-of-mass energies of 300 and 320 GeV are presented. They were performed on a data sample collected in the period 1994− 2004 by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations. The data have been analysed searching for leptoquarks, light gravitinos in R-parity violating supersymmetric models and magnet...

Projection maps of a V(1)-Vma5p hybrid complex, composed of subunit C (Vma5p) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae V-ATPase and the C-depleted V(1) from Manduca sexta, were determined from single particle electron microscopy. V(1)-Vma5p consists of a headpiece and an elongated wedgelike stalk with a 2.1x3.0 nm protuberance and a 9.5x7.5 globular domain, interpreted to include Vma5p. The interaction face...

Genes for V-H(+)-ATPase subunits were identified and cloned from the salt-tolerant wheat mutant RH8706-49. Sequences of these genes are highly conserved in plants. Overexpression of these genes in Arabidopsis thaliana improved its salt tolerance, and increased the activities of V-H(+)-ATPase and Na(+)/H(+) exchange, with the largest increase in plants carrying the c subunit of V-H(+)-ATPase. Re...

We studied proton beam production from a laser ion source using hydrogen rich target materials. In general, gas based species are not suitable for laser ion sources since formation of a dense laser target is difficult. In order to achieve reliable operation, we tested hydride targets using a sub nanosecond Q-switched Nd-YAG laser, which may help suppress target material consumption. We detected...

The proton transport along a hydrogen bond chain in an external membrane field is described by means of the Pauli master equation with asymmetric rate constants. The analytic solution describing the proton motion is found and its properties are discussed.

Westag 97 has larger capacity of Cd accumulation in roots which prevents Cd from translocating into stems and leaves; conversely, AC Hime has smaller capacity of Cd accumulation in roots; more Cd is transported into stems and leaves. The different capacity of Cd in roots between Westag 97 and AC Hime causes the different Cd concentration in seeds. Meanwhile, according to the different expressio...

The NuSOnG experiment is a proposal for a next-generation high-statistics, high-energy neutrino scattering experiment using an external proton beam, possibly at Fermilab or CERN, to create a high-energy sign-selected neutrino beam. The NuSOnG experiment would have the potential to make much improved electroweak and QCD precision measurements along with direct searches for new physics. The preci...
