Equivalent thermo-mechanical parameters for perfect crystals
Thermo-elastic behavior of perfect single crystal is considered. The crystal
is represented as a set of interacting particles (atoms). The approach for
determination of equivalent continuum values for the discrete system is
proposed. Averaging of equations of particles' motion and long wave
approximation are used in order to make link between the discrete system and
equivalent continuum. Basic balance equations for equivalent continuum are
derived from microscopic equations. Macroscopic values such as Piola and Cauchy
stress tensors and heat flux are represented via microscopic parameters.
Connection between the heat flux and temperature is discussed. Equation of
state in Mie-Gruneisen form connecting Cauchy stress tensor with deformation
gradient and thermal energy is obtained from microscopic considerations.Comment: To be published in proceedings of IUTAM Simposium on "Vibration

P-matrix and J-matrix approaches. Coulomb asymptotics in the harmonic oscillator representation of scattering theory
The relation between the R- and P-matrix approaches and the harmonic
oscillator representation of the quantum scattering theory (J-matrix method) is
discussed. We construct a discrete analogue of the P-matrix that is shown to be
equivalent to the usual P-matrix in the quasiclassical limit. A definition of
the natural channel radius is introduced. As a result, it is shown to be
possible to use well-developed technique of R- and P-matrix theory for
calculation of resonant states characteristics, scattering phase shifts, etc.,
in the approaches based on harmonic oscillator expansions, e.g., in nuclear
shell-model calculations. P-matrix is used also for formulation of the method
of treating Coulomb asymptotics in the scattering theory in oscillator
representation.Comment: Revtex, 57 pages including 15 figures; to be published in Annals of

CYP1A1 *2B and *4 polymorphisms are associated with lung cancer susceptibility in Mexican patients
We compiled 104 constitutional de novo or sporadic rearranged chromosomes mimicking recombinants from a parental pericentric inversion in order to comment on their occurrence and parental derivation, meiotic or postzygotic origin, mean parental ages, and underlying pathways. Chromosomes involved were 1-9, 13-18, 20-22, and X (64 autosomes and 40 X chromosomes). In the whole series, mean paternal and maternal ages in cases of paternal (proved or possible; n = 29) or maternal (proved or possible; n = 36) descent were 31.14 and 28.31 years, respectively. Rearranged X chromosomes appeared to be of paternal descent and to arise through intrachromosomal non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR), whereas rec-like autosomes were of either maternal or paternal origin and resulted from mechanisms proper of non-recurrent rearrangements. Except for some mosaic cases, most rearranged chromosomes apparently had a meiotic origin. Except for 8 rearranged X chromosomes transmitted maternally, all other cases compiled here were sporadic. Hence, the recurrence risk for sibs of propositi born to euploid parents is virtually zero, regardless of the imbalance's size. In brief, recombinant-like or rea chromosomes are not related to advanced parental age, may (chromosome X) or may not (autosomes) have a parent-of-origin bias, arise in meiosis or postzygotically, and appear to be mediated by NAHR, nonhomologous end joining, and telomere transposition. Because rearranged chromosomes 10, 11, and Y are also on record, albeit just in abstracts or listed in large series, we remark that all chromosomes can undergo this distinct rearrangement, even if it is still to be described for pairs 12 and 19.
