In the section "Energy dissipation" of the above manuscript, there is a typesetting error in the mathematical expressions after Equation 5. The correct form must be: The energy balance of each decaying mode obtained from Equation 4 in the time window 0 < t < τ = 200 μs (see Figure 1) can be written as where i is the index of the mode, ΔK i = 1/2 m eq (v i (0) 2 − v i (τ) 2) is the variation of ...

The new physics sensitivity of a variety of low-energy parity-violating (PV) observables is analyzed. A comparison is made between atomic PV for a single isotope, atomic PV using isotope ratios, and PV electron-hadron and electron-electron scattering. The complementarity among these observables, as well as with high-energy processes, is emphasized. Theoretical uncertainties entering the interpr...

Theoretical predictions of interaction energies for several membrane–colloid pairs were made using the classical DLVO theory and an extended DLVO (XDLVO) approach. The XDLVO approach accounts for acid-base (polar) interactions that are not considered in the classical DLVO theory. For all membranecolloid pairs studied, DLVO interactions were similar. However, inclusion of acid-base interactions ...

A new, conceptually very simple, single wire readout system for spark chambers in strong magnetic fields is described. (Submitted to Nucl. Instr. and Methods. ) *Work supported in part by the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. Prepared under Contracts AT(04-3)-5 15 and AT(ll-l)-68 for the San Francisco Operations Office, U. S. Atomic Energy Commission.

Introduction: Globally, the need for radiotherapy as a part of cancer management increases every year. Thus, the shielding for megavoltage radiotherapy rooms is of great importance. Materials and Methods: In the present study, 14 types of developed high-density concrete with densities ranging from 2.45 to 5.11 were simulated by using Monte Carlo method. The linear attenuation coefficient and t...

It is argued that the scale of atomic masses rests far too heavily on two possibly dubious pieces of evidence. These are the nineteenth-century determination of the atomic weight of hydrogen, and early mass spectrographic work on the determination of atomic masses. The determination of the atomic weight of hydrogen is possibly prone to overestimation because of adventitious enrichment in deuter...

Ivan C. Rankenburg and Veit Elser Abstract We demonstrate a new algorithm for finding protein conformations that minimize a non-bonded energy function. The new algorithm, called the difference map, seeks to find an atomic configuration that is simultaneously in two constraint spaces. The first constraint space is the space of atomic configurations that have a valid peptide geometry, while the s...

Introduction: In dual-energy computed tomography (DECT), the Hounsfield values of a substance measured at two different energies are the basic data for finding the chemical properties of a substance. The trends of Hounsfield unit (HU) alterations following the changes in energy are different between the materials with high and low Zeff. The present study aim...
