conclusions our results demonstrated no significant correlation between the ird5 lifespan and the trehalose concentration. likewise, the correlation between lifespan extension, trehalose accumulation, and cellular resistance to hydrogen peroxide was not significant. results the lifespan of the ird5 mutant was significantly longer that of either the ird11 mutant or the wild type cells. under rep...

A model based on the macroscopic-microscopic approach for calculating the fission-fragment properties is presented. Using this model, a large set of experimental data measured in lowand high-energy fission can be reproduced using one and same set of model parameters.

the radiophotoluminescence property of some materials makes it possible to use them for dosimetry purposes. the silver activated metaphoshate glass 1 as an rpl dosimeter when exposed to x. or y radiations , forms fluorescent centers with long lived states ( metastate ). the silver ions (ag+) in unirradiated state produces vacancies when energy is supplied by irradiation the release of electrons...

In order to improve on current prompt fission neutron spectrum measurements, a gamma multiplicity tagging method was developed at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Gearttner Linear Accelerator Center. This method involves using a coincidence requirement on an array of BaF2 gamma detectors to determine the timing of a fission event. This allows for much larger fission samples to be used due t...

Thermal history and apatite fission-track ages were determined for the Kaleybar, Razgah and Bozqush alkaline intrusions which display Eocene-Oligocene stratigraphic age. These subduction-related intrusions are located in the Alborz-Azarbaijan magmatic belt which is characterized by a Paleogene magmatic flare-up associated with extensional/transtensional tectonism. The mean of Uranium content an...

This paper reviews fission safety design principles and approaches for coupling inertial confinement fusion (ICF) to a subcritical fission blanket, in Laser ICF Fission Energy (LIFE) power plants. LIFE power plants use fuel derived from either spent fuel from fission reactors, or from natural uranium or thorium. By using fusion neutrons, LIFE plants can fission a large fraction of the heavy met...

As a droplet moves, due to evaporation at the surface, the droplet size is gradually reduced. Due to decreasing the size of the droplets moving in the spray core, the surface charges become closer and the repulsive force between the charges increases. When the Coulombic force overcomes the surface tension force (Rayleigh instability) the droplet breaks into smaller droplets (Coulomb fission). T...

Nuclear transmutation has been reported by lots of experiments. The features of this phenomenon are the production of elements which shows fission-like distribution and their anomalous isotopic ratios or the selective Z and mass changes [1]. To analyze this phenomenon, the selective channel scission (SCS) model has been proposed and improved [2]. The SCS model is powerful and can predict the fi...

Actin polymerization is important for vesicle fission during clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME), and it has been proposed that actin polymerization may promote vesicle fission during CME by providing direct mechanical forces. However, there is no direct evidence in support of this hypothesis. In the present study, the role of actin polymerization in vesicle fission was tested by analyzing the ...
