Here we present results of calculations of emittance growth caused by quantum fluctuations of synchrotron radiation (QFSR) for a 1.5GeV Double-Sided Microtron (DSM) [1]. We did both semi-analytical estimations, employing known twiss parameters for the DSM orbits, and a computer simulation of these stochastical effects using the program SYTRACE [2]. This showed that the normalized emittance grow...

Three novel strains of photosynthetic bacteria from the family Ectothiorhodospiraceae were isolated from soda lakes of the Great Basin Desert, USA by employing arsenite (As(III)) as the sole electron donor in the enrichment/isolation process. Strain PHS-1 was previously isolated from a hot spring in Mono Lake, while strain MLW-1 was obtained from Mono Lake sediment, and strain BSL-9 was isolate...

The functional role of the voltage-gated K(+) (K(V)) channels in human detrusor smooth muscle (DSM) is largely unexplored. Here, we provide molecular, electrophysiological, and functional evidence for the expression of K(V)2.1, K(V)2.2, and the electrically silent K(V)9.3 subunits in human DSM. Stromatoxin-1 (ScTx1), a selective inhibitor of K(V)2.1, K(V)2.2, and K(V)4.2 homotetrameric channels...

This is the 12th article in a series highlighting the case studies of DSM Task XV, Network Driven DSM. This Task demonstrated that DSM can be successfully used to support electricity networks in two main ways 1) by relieving constraints on distribution and/ or transmission networks at lower costs than building ‘poles and wires’ solutions, and 2) by providing services for electricity network sys...
