Although gamma ray showers are muon-poor, they still produce a number of muons suucient to make the sources observed by GeV and TeV telescopes observable also in muons. For sources with hard gamma ray spectra there is a relativèenhancement' of muons from gamma ray primaries as compared to that from nucleon primaries. All shower gamma rays above the photo-production threshold contribute to the n...

A 51-YEAR-OLD white man with a 45-year history of smoking was noted to have an abnormality on a routine chest x-ray. He denied any history of cough, sputum production, chest pain, dyspnea, weight loss, weakness, or tuberculosis. There was no previous chest x-ray available for comparison. The patient’s physical examination results were unremarkable. His chest x-ray is shown in Figure 1 and a com...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of irradiation of pomegranate seed (PS) on chemical composition, digestibility and kinetic of gas production. Pomegranate seeds were exposed to gamma ray (GR) and electron beam (EB) at doses of 5, 10, 15 and 20 kGy. Three ruminally fistulated rams were used for obtaining ruminal fluid for in vitro digestibility and gas production measuremen...

The free radical scavengers, dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) and thiourea, were used to assess the role of free radicals in the production of intercalator-induced DNA breaks and cytotoxicity in mouse leukemia L1210 cells. Both agents decreased X-ray break production, and this decrease was comparable in magnitude to the degree of inhibition of X-ray-induced cell killing. By contrast, Me2SO increased ...

Centaurus A, the cosmic ray accelerator a few Mpc away from us is possibly one of the nearest sources of extremely high energy cosmic rays. We investigate whether the gamma ray data currently available from Centaurus A in the GeV-TeV energy band can be explained with only proton proton interactions. We show that for a single power law proton spectrum, mechanisms of γ-ray production other than p...

2,5,10,13-tetraazatricyclo [12,2,2,26,9] icosa-1(16),6,8,14,17,19-hexene-3,4,11,12-tetraone tetraoxime (1a) and 2,5,11,14-tetraazatricyclo [13,3,1,16,10] icosa-1(19),6,8,10(20),15,17-hexaene-3,4,12,13-tetraonetetraoxime (1b) were obtained from condensation of 1,4- and 1,3-phenylendiamine with dichloroglyoxime, respectively. the reaction of 1,2-phenylendiamine with dichloroglyoxime resulted in t...

The hypothesis that ultra-high energy (& 1019 eV) cosmic rays (UHECRs) are accelerated by gamma-ray burst (GRB) blast waves is assumed to be correct. Implications of this assumption are then derived for the external shock model of gamma-ray bursts. The evolving synchrotron radiation spectrum in GRB blast waves provides target photons for the photomeson production of neutrinos and neutrons. Deca...
