The response of CR-39 nuclear track detector (TasTrak(®)) to protons in the energy range of 0.92-9.28 MeV has been studied. Previous studies of the CR-39 response to protons have been extended by examining the piece-to-piece variability in addition to the effects of etch time and etchant temperature; it is shown that the shape of the CR-39 response curve to protons can vary from piece-to-piece....

abstract: in the present paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for contact cr-warped product to be contact cr-product in kenmotsu space forms.

In this paper we report a search for intermediate mass magnetic monopoles and nuclearites using CR39 and Makrofol Nuclear Track Detectors (NTDs) of the SLIM large area experiment, 440 m exposed at the high altitude laboratory of Chacaltaya (Bolivia) and about 100 m at Koksil, Himalaya (Pakistan). We discuss the new chemical etching and improved analysis of the SLIM CR39 sheets. Preliminary limi...

2014 The photoionization absorption spectrum of the strongly Cr-doped GaAs samples was measured in the energy region 5 500-11 000 cm-1 under hydrostatic pressure up to 9 kbar at 300 K and 77 K. The EPR measurements with 1.09 03BCm laser excitation shows that this absorption is due to the charge transfer Cr3+ ~ Cr2+ transitions. The theoretical model which takes into account the lattice relaxati...

objective: hexavalent chromium [cr (vi)] compounds are well-known environmental contaminants  generated from industrial processes. several studies have reported the harmful effects of cr (vi) on different organs, however, little is known about neurotoxic effects of cr (vi). the aim of this study is to investigate the toxic effects of cr (vi) on pc12 cells. methods: pc12 cells were cultured foll...

We present CR-Prolog2, an extension of CR-Prolog with an improved semantics, and allowing ordered disjunction in the head of both regular rules and consistency-restoring rules. The new semantics yields intuitive conclusions in cases when CR-Prolog would give unintuitive results. The use of ordered disjunction often allows for a more concise, easier to read, representation of knowledge. We also ...

Earlier we reported, in this journal, that the pits generated in CR-39 detectors during Pd/D co-deposition experiments are consistent with those observed for pits that are of a nuclear origin. Recently, that interpretation has been challenged. In this communication, additional experimental data and further analysis of our earlier results are provided that support our original conclusions. PACS....

The paper presents the calibration of Fuji BAS-TR image plate (IP) response to high energy carbon ions of different charge states by employing an intense laser-driven ion source, which allowed access to carbon energies up to 270 MeV. The calibration method consists of employing a Thomson parabola spectrometer to separate and spectrally resolve different ion species, and a slotted CR-39 solid st...

A program code to simulate neutron interactions with a CR-39 detector and calculate parameters describing the induced etched proton tracks in the CR-39 material was previously developed(( 1)). This code was used to understand the mechanisms involved during interactions with neutrons in the CR-39 material and the influence of the etching process, enabling an improvement in the efficiency of the ...

in this paper we consider contact cr-warped product submanifolds of the type $m = n_ttimes_f n_perp$, of a nearly kenmotsu generalized sasakian space form $bar m(f_1‎, ‎f_2‎, ‎f_3)$ and by use of hopf's lemma we show that $m$ is simply contact cr-product under certain condition‎. ‎finally‎, ‎we establish a sharp inequality for squared norm of the second fundamental form and equality case i...
