Investigation of coulomb and pairing effects using new developed empirical formulas for proton-induced reaction cross sections

We have investigated Coulomb and pairing effects by using new empirical formulas including the new coefficients for (p, α) at 17.9 MeV, (p, np) at 22.3 MeV, and (p, nα) at 24.8 and 28.5 MeV energies. A new formula is obtained by adjusting Levkovskii’s original asymmetry parameter formula and also Tel et al. formula for proton-induced reactions. The new coefficients by using least-squares fitting method for the reactions are determined. In addition, the findings of the present study are compared with the available experimental data.     

Multiplicativity of the gamma factors of Rankin–Selberg integrals for SO 2l × GL n

Let SO _2l be the special even orthogonal group, split or quasi–split, defined over a local non–Archimedian field. The Rankin–Selberg method for a pair of generic representations of SO _2l × GL _n constructs a family of integrals, which are used to define γ and L-factors. Here we prove full multiplicative properties for the γ-factor, namely that it is multiplicative in each variable. As a corollary, the γ-factor is identical with Shahidi’s standard γ-factor.

Reinforcing Silk Scaffolds with Silk Particles

Silk fibroin is a useful protein polymer for biomaterials and tissue engineering. In this work, porogen leached scaffolds prepared from aqueous and HFIP silk solutions were reinforced through the addition of silk particles. This led to about 40 times increase in the specific compressive modulus and the yield strength of HFIP‐based scaffolds. This increase in mechanical properties resulted from the high interfacial cohesion between the silk matrix and the reinforcing silk particles, due to partial solubility of the silk particles in HFIP. The porosity of scaffolds was reduced from ≈90% (control) to ≈75% for the HFIP systems containing 200% particle reinforcement, while maintaining pore interconnectivity. The presence of the particles slowed the enzymatic degradation of silk scaffolds.

     

Effect of Hydration on Silk Film Material Properties

Effects of hydration on silk fibroin film properties were investigated for water‐annealed and MeOH‐treated samples. Hydration increased thickness by 60% for MeOH‐immersed films, while water‐annealed samples remained constant. MeOH‐immersed films showed an 80% mass loss due to water, while water‐annealed lost only 40%. O₂ permeability was higher in MeOH‐immersed films with Dk values of 10^?10 (mL O₂ · cm) · (cm^?1 · s^?1 · mmHg^?1), while those of water‐annealed films reached only one fifth of this value. All films showed a decrease in Young's modulus and increased plastic deformation by two orders of magnitude when submerged in saline solution. FT‐IR showed that β‐sheet content in water‐annealed films increased with increasing water vapor pressure, while MeOH‐immersed films showed no change.
