In this paper, we study the diffusive shock acceleration of cosmic-ray protons and nuclei, taking all the relevant interaction processes with photon backgrounds into account. We investigate how the competition between protons and nuclei is modified by such acceleration parameters as the acceleration rate, its rigidity dependence, the photon density, and the confinement capability of the sources...

We demonstrate a fairly general method for identification of NMR absorption lines of macromolecues extracted from microorganisms, based on nuclear Overhauser effects (NOE). Several NOE in tRNA are observable between resolved imino proton resonances and ring carbon resonances that are either C(2) protons of adenine or C(8) protons of adenine or guanine. Yeast tRNAPhe was deuterated at the purine...

The transient behavior of the longitudinal magnetization of the mobile protons in aqueous heterogeneous materials is investigated both theoretically and experimentally when selective saturation is applied by off-resonance, RF irradiation to the homogeneously broadened, immobile protons which are coupled to the mobile protons through cross relaxation. Analytical solution of this problem is obtai...

Cation exchange properties of tetratitanic acid with interlayer protons were measured and compared to those of titania with surface hydroxyl protons using the Frumkin equation. Tetratitanic acid showed larger ion-exchange capacity and much higher activity than titania. The characteristics of exchangeable protons and intercalated cations are discussed to explain the different ion-exchange proper...

Postoperative radiation therapy substantially decreases local relapse and moderately reduces breast cancer mortality, but can be associated with increased late mortality due to cardiovascular morbidity and secondary malignancies. Sophistication of breast irradiation techniques, including conformal radiotherapy and intensity modulated radiation therapy, has been shown to markedly reduce cardiac ...

We show that all features of the ultrahigh energy cosmic ray spectrum from 10 17 eV to 10 21 eV can be described with a simple power-like injection spectrum of protons under the assumption that the neutrino-nucleon cross-section is significantly enhanced at center of mass energies above ≈ 100 TeV. In our scenario, the cosmogenic neutrinos produced during the propagation of protons through the c...

New data on the production of protons, anti-protons and neutrons in p+p interactions are presented. The data come from a sample of 4.8 million inelastic events obtained with the NA49 detector at the CERN SPS at 158 GeV/c beam momentum. The charged baryons are identified by energy loss measurement in a large TPC tracking system. Neutrons are detected in a forward hadronic calorimeter. Inclusive ...

A sensitivity-enhanced 1D (1)H spin diffusion experiment, CHH, for determining membrane protein topology is introduced. By transferring the magnetization of the labeled protein (13)C to lipid and water protons for detection, the CHH experiment reduces the time of the original 2D (13)C-detected experiment by two orders of magnitude. The sensitivity enhancement results from (1)H detection and the...

The transfer of multiple protons in hydrogen-bonded networks usually occurs one proton at a time. At sufficiently high temperatures, each proton transfers via thermally activated hopping along its hydrogen bond, thereby moving a charge defect through the network. At low temperatures, quantum-mechanical tunnelling might set in instead, thus avoiding hopping over the energy barriers. In the case ...

CO2 excretion in trout is dependent upon the Haldane effect and the release of protons (Bohr protons) from haemoglobin during oxygenation of the blood. Oxygenation of whole blood from trout in vitro, resulted in a non-linear release of Bohr protons over the haemoglobin-oxygen (Hb-O2) equilibrium curve, where the majority of Bohr protons were released between 60 and 100% of Hb oxygen saturation ...
