This report presents the result of a study on radiation-induced color center densities in La-doped lead tungstate (PbWO 4 ) crystals. The creation and annihilation constants of radiation-induced color centers were determined by using transmittance data measured for a PbWO 4 sample before and during 60Co c-ray irradiation at a dose rate of 15 rad/h. Following a model of color center kinetics, th...

We introduce an equivariant version of cyclic cohomology for Hopf module algebras. For any H-module algebra A, where H is a Hopf algebra with S2 = idH we define the cocyclic module C ♮ H(A) and we find its relation with cyclic cohomology of crossed product algebra A ⋊ H. We define K 0 (A), the equivariant K-theory group of A, and its pairing with cyclic and periodic cyclic cohomology of C H(A).

Influence Diagrams ( I D S ) are a graphic formal ism able to provide a compact representation of decision problems. IDs are based on the axioms of probabi l i ty and decision theory, and they define a normat ive framework to model decision mak ing . Unfor tunate ly , IDs require a large amount of in fo rmat ion that is not always available to the decision maker. Th is paper in troduces a new c...

Introduction: NASA’s future missions would require massive high-speed onboard data storage capability to Space Science missions. For Space Science, such as the Europa Lander mission, the onboard data storage requirements would be focused on maximizing the spacecraft’s ability to survive fault conditions (i.e. no loss in stored science data when spacecraft enters the “safe mode”) and autonomousl...

Let H be a bialgebra. An H-module-algebra is an associative algebra A that is also an H-module such that the multiplication map on A becomes an H-module morphism. This algebraic structure arises often in algebraic topology, quantum groups [11, Chapter V.6], Lie and Hopf algebras theory [3, 16, 19], and group representations [1, Chapter 3]. For example, in algebraic topology, the complex cobordi...

Nine rad (for abnormal radiation sensitivity) mutants hypersensitive to ultraviolet light were isolated in the small nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. The mutations are recessive to their wild-type alleles, map to four of the six linkage groups in C. elegans and define nine new games named rad-1 through rad-9. Two of the mutants--rad-1 and rad-2--are very hypersensitive to X rays, and three--rad...

Ras associated with diabetes (Rad) is a Ras-related GTPase that promotes cell growth by accelerating cell cycle transitions. Rad knockdown induced cell cycle arrest and premature senescence without additional cellular stress in multiple cancer cell lines, indicating that Rad expression might be critical for the cell cycle in these cells. To investigate the precise function of Rad in this proces...
