We consider self-avoiding polymers attached to the tip of an impenetrable probe. The scaling exponents gamma(1) and gamma(2), characterizing the number of configurations for the attachment of the polymer by one end, or at its midpoint, vary continuously with the tip's angle. These apex exponents are calculated analytically by epsilon expansion, and numerically by simulations in three dimensions...

This paper describes a new computer-based gamma ray monitor for laboratory and field measurements. The monitor consists of a universal peripheral device, and GM counter gamma ray probe, connected via USB to the PC. The peripheral device is generic; in addition to the GM probe, it accepts sensors for spectrometric measurements as well as sensors for the measurement of other environmental paramet...

We investigate scattering amplitudes of the reversible $\ensuremath{\theta}$-exact Seiberg-Witten map-based noncommutative (NC) quantum electrodynamics and show explicitly SW map invariance for all types tree-level NCQED two-by-two processes, including M\o{}ller, Bhabha, Compton, pair annihilation, production, light-by-light (LbyL: $\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}...

conclusions radio-guided localization of non-palpable breast lesions is an acceptable method because of technical facilitation, accurate localization and complete excision with limited complications. so it can be recommended as an alternative method for wire-guided localization. results pathologic results were benign in 90.5% and malignant in 9.5% of patients. post-operative margin of lesion wa...

Using a synthetic, alpha satellite consensus DNA unit as a probe, we could show dicentrics as well as acentric fragmented chromosomes in metaphases of gamma-irradiated lymphocyte cells and that the number of appearance of dicentrics or acentric fragments seemed to be proportional to radiation doses. To make such examination with a large number of chromosomes of metaphases, a quantitative fluore...

We compute the attenuation of gamma-rays from remote quasars due to interactions with ambient low-energy photons produced by stars in galaxies and show that the next-generation gamma ray telescopes can probe the cosmic star formation rate at high redshifts.
