چکیده
Photosystem II uses metal ions to oxidize water to form O2. Two recent papers employ the new technique of serial femtosecond crystallography utilizing X-ray free-electron lasers and nanocrystals to obtain initial structures of intermediate states of photosystem II catalysis at the site of oxygen production.

Progressive Virtual Beam Lights
A recent technique that forms virtual ray lights (VRLs) from path segments in media, reduces the artifacts common to VPL approaches in participating media, however, distracting singularities still remain. We present Virtual Beam Lights (VBLs), a progressive many-lights algorithm for rendering complex indirect transport paths in, from, and to media. VBLs are efficient and can handle heterogeneou...
متن کاملA likely inverse-Compton emission from the Type IIb SN 2013df
The inverse-Compton X-ray emission model for supernovae has been well established to explain the X-ray properties of many supernovae for over 30 years. However, no observational case has yet been found to connect the X-rays with the optical lights as they should be. Here, we report the discovery of a hard X-ray source that is associated with a Type II-b supernova. Simultaneous emission enhancem...
متن کاملResponse of olfactory bulb neurons to x-rays as a function of nasal oxygen concentration.
Responses of single olfactory bulb neurons in rats to x-irradiation of the head were examined during the perfusion through the nasal cavities of gas containing various concentrations of oxygen. Response to x-ray was unchanged with oxygen concentrations of from 100 percent down to about 5 percent. Progressively larger response decrements were observed with oxygen concentrations of 2 percent and ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Respiratory Inhibitors and Chelating Agents on the Frequencies of Chromosomal Aberrations Produced by X-Rays in Vicia
Nitrosophenylhydroxylamine-ammonium (cupferron), potassium cyanide, sodium azide, ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA), alpha,alpha'-dipyridyl, and o-phenanthroline were tested (1) for their ability to enhance the frequencies of chromosomal aberrations produced by x-rays in the root tip cells of the broad bean, Vicia faba, and (2) for their ability to inhibit oxygen consumption of excised roots o...
متن کاملApplication of characteristic X-rays to measure linear attenuation coefficient of nano-composites used in shielding
Using of X-rays in different industries and especially in medical application is increasing. In this regard, designing of light and efficient protective material based on polymeric nanocomposites and precise study of the effect of adding nanoparticles with different sizes on the X-ray attenuation is necessary. In this study the epoxy nanocomposites with different percentages of copper oxide nan...
