Cyclotron damping and Faraday rotation of gravitational waves
We study the propagation of gravitational waves in a collisionless plasma
with an external magnetic field parallel to the direction of propagation. Due
to resonant interaction with the plasma particles the gravitational wave
experiences cyclotron damping or growth, the latter case being possible if the
distribution function for any of the particle species deviates from
thermodynamical equilibrium. Furthermore, we examine how the damping and
dispersion depends on temperature and on the ratio between the cyclotron- and
gravitational wave frequency. The presence of the magnetic field leads to
different dispersion relations for different polarizations, which in turn imply
Faraday rotation of gravitational waves.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figures. Accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
Protective effect of hypothermia on brain neurons in rats exposed to ionizing radiation
The protein-synthesizing system of hippocampal (CA1, CA3) and sensorimotor cortex neurons is damaged less and recovers much quicker in rats exposed to 8 Gy of gamma-radiation under hypoxia/hypercapnia (body temperature 16-18°C) than under usual conditions, as evidenced by microfluorimetry and electron microscopy. The radioprotective effect does not cover the membrane structures (endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex), and their restoration is not so prompt
Effect of ionizing radiation on the protein-synthesizing system of brain neurons of ground squirrels in different functional states
Using fluorescence and electron microscopy, it is shown that the physiological state of ground squirrels exposed to ionizing radiation at different stages of the torpor-awakeness (hypothermia-normothermia) cycle is the main factor responsible for changes in the protein-synthesizing system of neurons in the hippocampus (fields CA1 and CA3) and the sensomotor cortex. The neurons of animals irradiated in the state of awakeness are less radioresistant and recover more slowly than neurons of animals irradiated in torpor, with the difference being more distinct in neurons of the CA1 field. The effect of irradiation is weak in animals entering torpor and reaches a peak in awakening animals. It is proposed that the inhibition of protein synthesis in the latter case takes place at the elongation stage, with heavy polysomes formed in the cytoplasm of neurons
