GAMMA-RAYS INDUCTION OF MUTATION IN CONCHOCELIS OF PORPHYRA YEZOENSIS

Free living conchocelis of Porphyra yezoensis Ueda (Bangiales, Rhodophyta) were treated with 6 0Co γ rays of different doses (ranging from 100 Gy to 1000 Gy) to induce mutation. Most of the conchocelis maintained the capability of penetrating into shells, growing and forming colonies in shells, but their vitality was seriously impaired by the irradiation of γ rays. A few conchocelis pigments were mutagenized directly into different color pigment mutants whose progeny conchospores and foliose thalli had the same colors. However, some irradiated conchocelis did not show the change in color at the conchocelis stage. The pigment mutation could be observed only after the conchospores of these conchocelis had germinated into young foliose thalli. Irradiation of low dose (100 Gy) promoted the growth of thallus and many with altered morphology were observed. Conchospores of the irradiated conchocelis attached to the culture nets were cultured in the sea, and growth of these progenies was observed and measured.

An algorithm to resolve γ-rays from charged cosmic rays with DAMPE

The DArk Matter Particle Explorer（DAMPE）,also known as Wukong in China,which was launched on 2015 December 17,is a new high energy cosmic ray and γ-ray satellite-borne observatory.One of the main scientific goals of DAMPE is to observe Ge V-Te V high energy γ-rays with accurate energy,angular and time resolution,to indirectly search for dark matter particles and for the study of high energy astrophysics. Due to the comparatively higher fluxes of charged cosmic rays with respect to γ-rays,it is challenging to identify γ-rays with sufficiently high efficiency,minimizing the amount of charged cosmic ray contamination. In this work we present a method to identify γ-rays in DAMPE data based on Monte Carlo simulations,using the powerful electromagnetic/hadronic shower discrimination provided by the calorimeter and the veto detection of charged particles provided by the plastic scintillation detector. Monte Carlo simulations show that after this selection the number of electrons and protons that contaminate the selected γ-ray events at～10 Ge V amounts to less than 1% of the selected sample.Finally,we use flight data to verify the effectiveness of the method by highlighting known γ-ray sources in the sky and by reconstructing preliminary light curves of the Geminga pulsar.

Attenuation coefficients of gamma and X-rays passing through six materials

The aim of this study was to determine the attenuation of gamma and X-rays with different energies caused by passage through different materials.To this end,different materials with a range of atomic numbers were chosen to measure gamma and X-ray attenuation coefficients and to explore the mechanisms of interaction of gamma and X-rays with matter of various kinds.It is shown that the attenuation coefficients first decrease and then increase with increase in the radiation(photon)energy.The attenuation of gamma and X-rays passing through materials with high atomic number is greater than that in materials with low atomic number.The attenuation minimum is related to the atomic number of the irradiated materials.The larger the atomic number is,the lower the energy corresponding to attenuation minimum is.Photoelectric and Compton effects are the main processes when gamma rays pass through individual materials with high and low atomic numbers,respectively.Therefore,for radiotherapy and radiation protection,different methods should be considered and selected for the use of gamma and X-rays of different energies for use in different materials.

The characteristics of DNA repair synthesis induced by DNA polymerase β in hepatoma cells after γ rays irradiation

AIM To investigate the effects of DNA repair synthesis induced by DNA polymerase β in hepatoma cells after γ ray irradiation. METHODS Cell nuclei were prepared from SMMC LTNM hepatoma which is a transplanted human liver cancer born on nude mice. Samples were irradiated with 60 Co γ rays at different doses or dose rates. N ethylmaleimide (NEM) and ddTTP were used as selective inhibitors to DNA polymerases. The reaction of DNA repair synthesis was carried out with the selective inhibitor test. RESULTS It was found that the 3H TTP incorporation in irradiated nuclei or calf thymus DNA was significantly higher than that in the non irradiated ones, under the conditions of DNA polymerase α or γ being inhibited. When NEM and ddTTP which selectively inhibits DNA polymerase β both existed in the DNA repair synthesis reaction mixture, the 3H TTP incorporation in irradiated DNA did not significantly increased. Furthermore, 3H TTP incorporation into DNA of SMMC LTNM hepatoma nuclei was higher than that of normal hepatocyte nuclei ( P <0 01). The DNA repair synthesis induced by DNA polymerase β reacted more fast in hepatoma nuclei than in hepatocyte nuclei. CONCLUSION The effects of DNA repair synthesis induced by DNA polymerase β in some tumor cells might be stronger than that in normal cells, which may facilitate the cells to repair DNA damages from radiation.

EXCESS FUNCTIONS OF RAYS ON COMPLETE NONCOMPACT MANIFOLDS

This paper gives an estimate of excess functions of rays on complete non-compact manifolds. By using this estimation, the authors can get the results in [3] as corollaries, which asserts that a complete manifold is diffeomorphic to Rn under some curvature and pinching conditions. At last, they obtain a refinement of them with extra Ricci condition.

Understanding the Function of Rays and Wood Density on Transverse Fracture Behaviour of Green Wood in Three Species

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in wood properties, because wood is a commonly used and advanced building material. In this paper, the effect of anatomical characters on the transverse fracture properties of green wood was investigated. The specific fracture energy （Gf J/m2） of ash （Fraxinus excelsior）, cherry （Prunus avium） and birch （Betula pendula） was evaluated using double edge notched tensile tests. The tests were performed on both earlywood （EW） and latewood （LW） zones in both the radial-tangential （RT） and the tangential-radial （TR） crack propagation systems. Wood anatomy and the failure patterns of each species were also investigated using environmental scanning electron microscopy （ESEM） and light microscopy （LMC）. The results showed that the Gfof RT fracture systems was around 1.5 times greater than in the TR one, whereas there were no significant differences between EW and LW zones. ESEM micrographs showed that the RT fracture system had a rougher fracture surface, while the TR had a nearly smooth and fiat fracture surface. In particular, the wood ofF. excelsior was the toughest, because of its greater percentage of rays and homogenous distribution of ray cells, while P. avium and B. pendula showed a lower Gf due to their smaller percentage of rays with a distinctive arrangement of ray cells.

Shielding effectiveness of boron-containing ores in Liaoning province of China against gamma rays and thermal neutrons

In this study, the mass attenuation coefficient of boron-containing ores in the Liaoning province of China was calculated using Win XCOM software to investigate the shielding effectiveness of these ores against gamma rays. The mass attenuation coefficients were also calculated using MCNP-4 B code and compared with Win XCOM results; consequently, a good consistency between the results of Win XCOM and MCNP-4 B was observed. Furthermore, the G-P fitting method was used to evaluate the values of exposure buildup factor(EBF) in the energy range of 0.015–15 Me V up to 40 mean free paths. Among the selected ores, boron-bearing iron concentrate ore(M3)was determined to be the best gamma ray shielding ore owing to its higher values of mass attenuation coefficient and equivalent atomic number and lower value of EBF.Moreover, American Evaluated Nuclear Data File(ENDF/B-VII) was used to analyze the shielding effectivenessagainst thermal neutrons. It was determined that Szaibelyite(M2) is the best thermal neutron shielding material.This study would be useful for demonstrating the potential of boron-containing ores for applications in the field of nuclear engineering and technology.

Effect of ^(137)Cs Gamma Rays to Panicles on Rice Anther Culture

Panicles of an indica rice line TM7-5 were subjected to radiation with 137^Cs gamma rays at 0 （control）, 5, 10, 15 and 20 Gy respectively, and then its anthers were cultured. There were slight differences among the treatments in peak emerging time of callus initiation, from 38 to 44 days after inoculation （DAI） as well as the frequency of callus initiation （2.3-3.5%）. About two thirds calli were induced before 44 DAI, and calli derived beyond 60 DAI lost the regeneration ability. Green plant regeneration frequency was significantly stimulated from two- to three-fold by irradiation of the 1370S gamma rays compared with the control, and the maximum was 22,81% （15 Gy）. The culture ability based on callus initiation and green plantlet regeneration was 0.19% for the control while it was over 0.45% for all the irradiated treatments, and the maximum was 0,59% for 15 Gy treatment. The advantages of panicle irradiation before anther culture and the potential application in rice anther culture, especially for recalcitrant indica rice, were discussed.

Analyzing the transient effects of 60Co gamma rays in a CIS by Monte Carlo method

The objective of this work is to analyze the transient effects of ^60Co gamma rays in the CMOS image sensor (CIS) using the Monte Carlo method, based on Geant4. The track, energy spectrum, and angle of produced electrons when gamma rays traversed a silicon or silicon dioxide cube were calculated. A simplified model of a 500 × 500 CIS array was established, and the transient effects of gamma rays in the CIS were simulated. The raw images were captured when the CIS was irradiated by gamma rays. The experimental results were compared with the simulation results. The characteristics of the typical events induced by transient effects were analyzed.

Seasonal Variation of Stationary and Low-Frequency Rossby Wave Rays

The wave rays and their seasonal variation of stationary and low-frequency Rossby waves are studied by using the Runge-Kutta scheme. The results show that for stationary waves the rays can reach lower latitudes in winter, and are limited in higher latitudes in summer. The main differences between the stationary and low-frequency wave rays are that low-frequency waves can propagate across the equator and the easterlies will not be an obstacle on their propagation. It explained to some extent the interaction of disturbances between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The lower wave frequencies and the stronger easterly flow are, the more difficult low-frequency waves will be to propagate across the equator. The waves with 20-day period are easier to propagate across the equator than that with 50-day period. The winter is the most favorable season for low-frequency waves to propagate into another hemisphere.

KELEA, Cosmic Rays, Cloud Formation and Electromagnetic Radiation: Electropollution as a Possible Explanation for Climate Change

The basic premise of this article is that human generated electromagnetic radiation is contributing to global warming. It may do so by diverting an energy force termed KELEA (kinetic energy limiting electrostatic attraction) from its presumed association with cosmic rays. Cosmic ray delivered KELEA is viewed as normally participating in the formation of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). It may do so by transforming electrostatically inert particles into electrostatic aerosols capable of acting as CCN. The resulting clouds act as a reflective barrier to some of the infrared radiation from the sun and, thereby, reduce the earth’s heat. This article proposes that increasing levels of electromagnetic radiation in the atmosphere is reducing the capacity of cosmic rays to deliver adequate KELEA to maintain climate stability through optimal cloud formation. Specifically, the fluctuating electrical fields accompanying electromagnetic radiation may do so by competitively withdrawing some of the KELEA from the incoming cosmic rays. Previously described studies by Dr. Wilhelm Reich attributed to an energy force termed orgone, are consistent with weather activity being inducible using a device that likely delivers KELEA to the atmosphere. In addition to the foregoing consideration, there are many agricultural and industrial applications of KELEA activated fluids that can reduce carbon emissions. It is important that the scope of climate science be broadened to include a detailed understanding of KELEA and of its many potential practical applications in addressing global warming.
