During a week of the March maximum in 2011, two oppositely installed direction-sensitive TEU-167d Dark Electron Multipliers (DEMs) recorded a flux of daemons from the near-Earth almost circular heliocentric orbits (NEACHOs). The flux measured from above is f≈(8 ± 3)×10-7cm-2s-1, and that from below is twice smaller. The difference may be due both to specific design features of the DEMs themselves, and to dissimilarities in the slope of trajectories along which objects are coming from above or from below. It is shown that the daemon paradigm enables a quantitative interpretation of DAMA and CoGeNT experiments with no additional hypotheses. Both the experiments record a daemon flux of f~10-6cm-2s-1from strongly elongated Earth-crossing heliocentric orbits (SEECHOs), predecessors of NEACHOs. Recommendations are given for processing of DAMA/LIBRA data, which unambiguously suggest that, in approximately half of cases (when there occur double events in the detector, rejected in processing under a single-hit criterion), the signals being recorded are successively excited by a single SEECHO object along a path of ~ 1 m, i.e. this is not a weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP). It is noted that due regard to cascade events and pair interaction of ions will weaken the adverse influence exerted by the blocking effect on the channeling of iodine ions knocked out in NaI(Tl) crystal. This influence will become not so catastrophic as it follows from simplified semi-analytical models of the process: One might expect the energy of up to ~ 10% primary recoil iodine ions will be converted to the scintillation light.

The Difference

Panax quinquefolium is a perennial herbaceous plant that contains many beneficial ginsenosides with diverse pharmacological effects. 24(R)-pseudoginsenoside F11 is specific to P. quinquefolium, a useful biomarker for distinguishing this species from other related plants. However, because of its nonconjugated property and the complexity of existing detection methods, this biomarker cannot be used as the identification standard. We herein present a stable 24(R)-pseudoginsenoside F11 fingerprint spectrum in the terahertz band, thereby proving that F11 can be detected and quantitatively analyzed via terahertz spectroscopy. We also analyzed the sample by high-performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. The difference between the normalized data for the two analytical methods was less than 5%. Furthermore, P. quinquefolium from different areas and other substances can be clearly distinguished based on these terahertz spectra with a standard principal component analysis. Our method is a fast, simple, and cost-effective approach for identifying and quantitatively analyzing P. quinquefolium.

ABSTRACTWe have measured the dielectric and optical properties of pulsed laser deposited SrBi2Ta 2O9 and Sr0.8Bi2.2Ta2O9 thin films on MgO substrate in THz frequency region by THz time-domain spectroscopy. The imaginary parts of the dielectric constant of both the samples show broad peaks in the frequency range 0.5–1.0 THz, which may be due to the soft mode in SBT in this frequency spectrum. The difference in the real part of the dielectric constant of Sr0.8Bi2.2Ta2O9 thin films is small for MHz and THz frequencies. On the other hand, the value of real part of dielectric constant of SrBi2Ta2O9 thin films in THz frequency range is much smaller than that in MHz frequency region, indicating that SrBi2Ta2O9 is not simply displacive ferroelectric material.

Cidaun merupakan salah satu daerah pesisir pantai selatan yang terletak pada Kabupaten Cinajur Provinsi Jawa Barat. Salah satu kelebihan dari daerah pesisir pantai selatan Pulau Jawa adalah terdapat banyaknya mineral logam penghasil besi yang tersebar luas di sepanjang pesisir pantai. Oleh karena itu dilakukanlah eksplorasi untuk memetakan sebaran mineral logam yang ada di daerah Cidaun. Dalam melakukan eksplorasi mineral logam dibutuhkan suatu metode yang paling efektif yaitu eksplorasi geofisika dengan menggunakan metode geomagnet. Proses pengolahan data pada metode geomagnet dilakukan dengan menghitung nilai anomali magnetik dari medan magnetik total yang telah dilakukan koreksi terhadap koreksi harian dan koreksi IGRF. Kemudian dengan metode inversi data yang telah didapat dijadikan sebuah model. Selain itu dilakukan juga interpretasi kualitatif dan interpretasi kuantitatif. Interperetasi kualitatif dilakukan pada data yang telah dimodelkan menggunakan software surfer 11, apabila data tersebut terdapat anomali magnetik bernilai sangat tinggi yang berdekatan dengan nilai anomali magnetik bernilai rendah atau perubahan nilai anomali terjadi secara signifikan kemudian dilakukan proses interpretasi secara kuantitatif. Interpretasi kuantitatif pada penelitian ini dengan dilakukan deliniasi berupa proses sayatan pada perbedaan nilai anomali magnetik yang terjadi perubahan secara signifikan. Tahap selanjutnya data dari proses sayatan tersebut kemudian dilakukanlah pemodelan menggunakan software mag2dc untuk mengetahui sebaran mineral logam dapa daerah tersebut. Berdasarkan data yang telah diolah pada daerah Kertajadi, Cidaun, Kabupaten Cianjur, Jawa Barat dengan koordinat 698283 easting - 757162 easting dan 9180169 northing - 9171050 northing memiliki rentang nilai anomali magnetik -5 nT – 145 nT. Sedangkan nilai anomali magnetik pada daerah yang telah dilakukan proses sayatan memiliki rentang nilai 84.18 nT - 119.69 nT dengan nilai susptibilitas -0.041000 – 0.050001. Dari rentang nilai suseptibilitas tersebut diduga sebaran mineral yang yang memiliki nilai suseptibilitas positif merupakan bijih besi sedangkan yang bernilai negatif merupakan lempung dan endapan pasir. Dari hasil dari penelitian ini diharapkan data tersebut dapat dijadikan informasi dan referensi bagi masyarakat, peneliti lain dan pengusaha tambang dalam eksplorasi mineral logam.Cidaun is one of the coastal areas of the southern coast located in the district of West Java province Cinajur. One of the advantages of the southern coastal areas of Java is that there are many ferrous metal mineral producer widespread along the coast. Therefore, the exploration was undertaken to map the distribution of metallic minerals in the area Cidaun. In conducting metal mineral exploration required a most effective method is a geophysical exploration using geomagnetic methods. Data processing on geomagnetic method is done by calculating the value of the magnetic anomalies of the total magnetic field has a daily correction of correction and correction IGRF. Then, with the inversion method of data has been obtained serve as a model. The researcher also interpretation of qualitative and quantitative interpretation. Qualitative Interperetasi performed on the data that has been modeled using software surfer 11, when the inputs are very high-value magnetic anomalies adjacent to the value of the magnetic anomalies of low value or change in value of the anomaly occurred significantly later performed quantitative interpretation process. Quantitative interpretation in this study conducted a process of delineation of the incision on the difference in magnetic anomaly change significantly. The next stage of the data are then perform the incision process modeling using software mag2dc to determine the distribution of metallic minerals onshore areas. Based on the data that has been processed in the region Kertajadi, Cidaun, Cianjur, West Java coordinate 698283 easting - 757162 easting and 9180169 northing - 917105 northing and has a value range of magnetic anomaly -5 nT - 145 nT. While the value of magnetic anomalies in the area that has been carried out the process of incisions have a range of values 84.18 nT - 119.69 nT with susptibilitas value -0.041000 - 0.050001. Of the value range susceptibility is suspected distribution of minerals that have a positive susceptibility value is the iron ore which is negative while the clay and sand deposits. From the results of this study are expected data can be made of information and reference for the community, other researchers and mining company in mineral exploration.

Origin Of The Moon

The difference between average densities of the Moon and Earth was interpreted in the preceding report by Professor H. Urey as indicating a difference in their chemical composition. Therefore, Urey assumes the Moon's formation to have taken place far away from the Earth, under conditions differing substantially from the conditions of Earth's formation. In such a case, the Earth should have captured the Moon. As is admitted by Professor Urey himself, such a capture is a very improbable event. In addition, an assumption that the “lunar” dimensions were representative of protoplanetary bodies in the entire solar system encounters great difficulties.

AbstractThe oldest cell-like structures on Earth are preserved in silicified lagoonal, shallow sea or hydrothermal sediments, such as some Archean formations in Western Australia and South Africa. Previous studies concentrated on the search for organic fossils in Archean rocks. Observations of silicified bacteria (as silica minerals) are scarce for both the Precambrian and the Phanerozoic, but reports of mineral bacteria finds, in general, are increasing. The problems associated with the identification of authentic fossil bacteria and, if possible, closer identification of bacteria type can, in part, be overcome by experimental fossilisation studies. These have shown that not all bacteria fossilise in the same way and, indeed, some seem to be very resistent to fossilisation. This paper deals with a transmission electron microscope investigation of the silicification of four species of bacteria commonly found in the environment. The Gram positiveBacillus laterosporusand its spore produced a robust, durable crust upon silicification, whereas the Gram negativePseudomonas fluorescens, Ps. vesicularis, andPs. acidovoranspresented delicately preserved walls. The greater amount of peptidoglycan, containing abundant metal cation binding sites, in the cell wall of the Gram positive bacterium, probably accounts for the difference in the mode of fossilisation. The Gram positive bacteria are, therefore, probably most likely to be preserved in the terrestrial and extraterrestrial rock record.

AbstractThe interrelationship of half-widths and intensities for the red, green and yellow lines is considered. This is a direct relationship for the green and yellow line and an inverse one for the red line. The difference in the relationships of half-widths and intensities for different lines appears to be due to substantially dissimilar structuring and to a set of line-of-sight motions in ”hot“ and ”cold“ corona regions.When diagnosing the coronal plasma, one cannot neglect the filling factor - each line has such a factor of its own.

Ideal Method

Although difference Fourier techniques are standard in X-ray crystallography it has only been very recently that electron crystallographers have been able to take advantage of this method. We have combined a high resolution data set for frozen glucose embedded Purple Membrane (PM) with a data set collected from PM prepared in the frozen hydrated state in order to visualize any differences in structure due to the different methods of preparation. The increased contrast between protein-ice versus protein-glucose may prove to be an advantage of the frozen hydrated technique for visualizing those parts of bacteriorhodopsin that are embedded in glucose. In addition, surface groups of the protein may be disordered in glucose and ordered in the frozen state. The sensitivity of the difference Fourier technique to small changes in structure provides an ideal method for testing this hypothesis.

We have studied the destruction of rabbit muscle actin filaments by osmium tetroxide (OSO4) to develop methods which will preserve the structure of actin filaments during preparation for transmission electron microscopy.Negatively stained F-actin, which appears as smooth, gently curved filaments in control samples (Fig. 1a), acquire an angular, distorted profile and break into progressively shorter pieces after exposure to OSO4 (Fig. 1b,c). We followed the time course of the reaction with viscometry since it is a simple, quantitative method to assess filament integrity. The difference in rates of decay in viscosity of polymerized actin solutions after the addition of four concentrations of OSO4 is illustrated in Fig. 2. Viscometry indicated that the rate of actin filament destruction is also dependent upon temperature, buffer type, buffer concentration, and pH, and requires the continued presence of OSO4. The conditions most favorable to filament preservation are fixation in a low concentration of OSO4 for a short time at 0°C in 100mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 6.0.

The Difference

Ordered Ni3Fe crystals possess a LI2 type superlattice similar to the Cu3Au structure. The difference in slip behavior of the superlattice as compared with that of a disordered phase has been well established. Cottrell first postulated that the increase in resistance for slip in the superlattice structure is attributed to the presence of antiphase domain boundaries. Following Cottrell's domain hardening mechanism, numerous workers have proposed other refined models also involving the presence of domain boundaries. Using the anomalous X-ray diffraction technique, Davies and Stoloff have shown that the hardness of the Ni3Fe superlattice varies with the domain size. So far, no direct observation of antiphase domain boundaries in Ni3Fe has been reported. Because the atomic scattering factors of the elements in NijFe are so close, the superlattice reflections are not easily detected. Furthermore, the domain configurations in NioFe are thought to be independent of the crystallographic orientations.
