Enhanced photoinduced chi((2)) in gamma-ray-irradiated bulk glass

Gamma-ray-irradiated light-flint silicate bulk glass (Schott Glass LF5), which contains a large amount of lead oxide, displays enhanced photoinduced quasi-phase-matched second-harmonic generation (PSHG), whereas nonirradiated glass under the same experimental conditions does not generate this nonlinear effect. The dependence of the efficiency of PSHG on the amount of gamma radiation (up to 530 krad) is experimentally studied, as is the role of thermal recovery (bleaching) of the color centers as a result of seeding with the second harmonic. The effect of long-term fading is studied with a sample that was irradiated 8 years ago. Gamma irradiation of boron-crown silicate glass (BK7) does not show this enhancement.     

Existence and representation of diophantine and mixed diophantine solutions to linear equations and inequalities

In this paper we present necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions to more general systems of linear diophantine equations and inequalities than have previously been considered. We do this in terms of variants and extensions of generalized inverse concepts which also permit us to give representation of the set of all solutions to the systems. The results are further extended to mixed integer systems.     

Simulation model for anomalous precession of the perihelion of mercury's orbit

The ‘anomalous perihelion precession’ of Mercury, announced by Le Verrier in 1859, was a highly controversial topic for more than half a century and invoked many alternative theories until 1916, when Einstein presented his theory of general relativity as an alternative theory of gravitation and showed perihelion precession to be one of its potential manifestations. As perihelion precession was a directly derived result of the full General Theory and not just the Equivalence Principle, Einstein viewed it as the most critical test of his theory. This paper presents the computed value of the anomalous perihelion precession of Mercury's orbit using a new relativistic simulation model that employs a simple transformation factor for mass and time, proposed in an earlier paper. This computed value compares well with the prediction of general relativity and is, also, in complete agreement with the observed value within its range of uncertainty. No general relativistic equations have been used for computing the results presented in this paper.     

Narrow spectral response of a Brillouin generator

We analyze both theoretically and experimentally the temporal response of a stimulated Brillouin scattering generator to an harmonically modulated pump beam in a 2.1 km optical fiber. It is shown that at certain frequencies (where m is an integer number and are frequencies which depends mainly on the fiber’s length L but also on the beam’s intensity via G) the first harmonic of the generated Stokes beam is relatively suppressed but never vanishes. These frequencies are considerably smaller than the Brillouin’s spectral width (∼20 MHz). Excellent agreement with the analytical model is presented.     

Forbidden activation levels in a non-stationary tunneling process

Tunneling in the presence of an opaque barrier, part of which varies in time, is investigated numerically and analytically in one dimension. Clearly, due to the varying barrier a tunneling particle experiences spectral widening. However, in the case of strong perturbations, the particles’ activation to certain energies is avoided. We show that this effect occurs only when the perturbation decays faster than t⁻².     

Minimum cost spanning tree games

We consider the problem of cost allocation among users of a minimum cost spanning tree network. It is formulated as a cooperative game in characteristic function form, referred to as a minimum cost spanning tree (m.c.s.t.) game. We show that the core of a m.c.s.t. game is never empty. In fact, a point in the core can be read directly from any minimum cost spanning tree graph associated with the problem. For m.c.s.t. games with efficient coalition structures we define and construct m.c.s.t. games on the components of the structure. We show that the core and the nucleolus of the original game are the cartesian products of the cores and the nucleoli, respectively, of the induced games on the components of the efficient coalition structure.This paper is a revision of [4].     

The reactive bargaining set of some flow games and of superadditive simple games

We prove that the reactive bargaining set coincides with the core of simple flow games, and it essentially coincides with the kernel of simple superadditive games.     

INHIBITION OF PHTHALOCYANINE-SENSITIZED PHOTOHEMOLYSIS OF HUMAN ERYTHROCYTES BY QUERCETIN

Abstract— Photohemolysis of erythrocytes in the presence of aluminum phthalocyanine tetrasulfonate as a sensitizer is inhibited by quercetin. D₂O (98.5%) stimulated photohemolysis regardless of quercetin presence, suggesting the participation of singlet oxygen in the process. Since it has been shown that this flavonoid reacts with singlet oxygen, the protective effect might be attributed, at least partially, to its competitive reaction with singlet oxygen. At the molecular level, the alterations of membrane proteins that escort the process of photohemolysis, such as cross-linking of spectrin monomers and of other membrane proteins, were selectively inhibited by quercetin. This effect was qualitatively similar to that induced by NaF, suggesting that quercetin may, like NaF, also inhibit type I photooxidations, which contribute to hemolysis. The lipophilicity of quercetin seems to be an essential factor in the inhibition process; rutin, a water-soluble 3-rutinoside of quercetin, had only a negligible protective effect on photohemolysis.     

Chemically modified nylons as supports for enzyme immobilization

An isocyanide derivative of nylon, polyisonitrile-nylon (1,2), was used as a starting material whereby, through a series of modification reactions, different chemically reactive functional groups could be introduced on the polyamide backbone. The chemistry employed allowed for considerable flexibility in the choice of procedures for covalent fixation of proteins, all starting from the same chemically reactive parent polymer, polyisonitrile-nylon. Thus, polyisonitrilenylon could be used directly for the immobilization of enzymes via fourcomponent condensation reactions. The isocyanide functional groups of the parent polymer could be transformed, by treatment with bromine, into the strongly electrophilic dibromoisocyanide (—N=CBr^b2) groups. The selectivity of the —N=CBr^b2 group toward the various functional groups present in proteins could be regulated by appropriate control of the pH of the coupling reaction. Dibromoisocyanide-nylon was also further modified into other types of chemically reactive nylon derivatives.
