The effect of ionisation quenching for ions is critical experiments relying on the measurement low energy recoils, such as direct Dark Matter searches. We present factor estimates over a range energies protons, $\alpha$-particles, and heavier in H$_{2}$, CH$_{4}$, N$_{2}$, Ar, CO$_{2}$, C$_{3}$H$_{8}$ gases, estimated from respective reference W-value measurements. resulting factors are compare...

Bronchiolitis fibrosa obliterans, described first by Lange in 1901, is an obliterative process of the bronchioles in which there is extensive damage to the bronchial wall involving all the constituent elements (the epithelium, elastic tissue, and muscle fibres), and the lumen is partially or totally occluded by bronchial exudate organized by fibroblasts and capillaries. The disease is extremely...

New combining rules are proposed for the well depth, E , and interaction distance, a, describing nonbonded interatomic forces for rare gas pair interactions. Concepts underlying current combining rules applied in simulations of macromolecular and polymer systems are shown to be incompatible with experimental data on the rare gases. The current combining rules are compared with the new results u...

We report numerical simulation of gas temperature of microwave discharge plasma of rare gases by weighted-DSMC method. Our numerical simulation showed that neutral particles are heated by collisions with ions. It is found that the average temperature becomes higher for heavier rare gas discharge plasmas, which agrees with our previous experiments. It is also found that ions are accelerated by a...

Cases of deaths in manure or septic tanks are rare in legal-medical practice, more frequently as unfortunate occupational accidents. Poisoning with toxic gases, especially with hydrogen sulfide, is reported as the cause of death, while the exhaustion of oxygen in the air is omitted with the simultaneous excess of carbon dioxide. In such cases, determination of the direct cause of death constitu...
