A $Gamma$-so-ring is a structure possessing a natural partial ordering, an infinitary partial addition and a ternary multiplication, subject to a set of axioms. The partial functions under disjoint-domain sums and functional composition is a $Gamma$-so-ring. In this paper we introduce the notions of subdirect product and $(phi,rho)$-product of $Gamma$-so-rings and study $(phi,rho)$-represen...

Starting from the classical r-matrix of the non-standard (or Jordanian) quantum deformation of the sl(2,R) algebra, new triangular quantum deformations for the real Lie algebras so(2, 2), so(3, 1) and iso(2, 1) are simultaneously constructed by using a graded contraction scheme; these are realized as deformations of conformal algebras of (1 + 1)-dimensional spacetimes. Timetype and space-type q...

We present a 1-parameter family of finite action solutions to the S0(2, 1) Hitchin’s equations and explore some of its basic properties. For a fixed value of the parameter, the solution is smooth. We conclude by showing a multi-particle generalization of our basic solutions.

In the treatment of superficial lesions with 8-13 MeV electrons, lead shields are often used to protect the underlying tissue. Measurements were made with film and ion chamber to analyse various aspects of external and internal shielding in electron beam therapy. Data were obtained on the thickness of lead required for shielding, the effect of blocking on dose-rate, electron-backscattering from...
