Investigation of the composition of the Luna 16 lunar sample
The concentrations of aluminum, manganese, sodium, chromium, iron, cobalt, and 12 rare earth elements were determined by neutron activation analysis using slow neutrons. Oxygen and silicon were determined using a fast neutron generator. Mossbauer spectroscopy was used to investigate iron compounds in Luna 16 regolith samples from the upper part of the core
Semiclassical model for calculating fully differential ionization cross sections of the H molecule
Fully differential cross sections are calculated for the ionization of H
by fast charged projectiles using a semiclassical model developed previously
for the ionization of atoms. The method is tested in case of 4 keV electron and
6 MeV proton projectiles. The obtained results show good agreement with the
available experimental data. Interference effects due to the two-center
character of the target are also observed and analyzed.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure
Quantum Computing on Lattices using Global Two-Qubit Gate
We study the computation power of lattices composed of two dimensional
systems (qubits) on which translationally invariant global two-qubit gates can
be performed. We show that if a specific set of 6 global two qubit gates can be
performed, and if the initial state of the lattice can be suitably chosen, then
a quantum computer can be efficiently simulatedComment: 9 page
Multi-jet cross sections in deep inelastic scattering at next-to-leading order
We present the perturbative prediction for three-jet production cross section
in DIS at the NLO accuracy. We study the dependence on the renormalization and
factorization scales of exclusive three-jet cross section. The perturbative
prediction for the three-jet differential distribution as a function of the
momentum transfer is compared to the corresponding data obtained by the H1
collaboration at HERA.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
Variation of some morphological and molecular characteristics of Hungarian Crivellia and Brachycladium isolates from opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.)
A destructive seed-borne pathogen, formerly described as Pleospora papaveracea affects opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) plants, grown in Hungary, causing considerable qualitative and quantitative losses. The symptoms of the disease were frequently observed in the field between 1999 and 2006. Seventeen Hungarian isolates were obtained from poppy and cultures were established on malt extract agar from naturally infected seeds, diseased foliage, pods and stem. The pathogens proved to be Crivellia papaveracea and a distinct taxon, Brachycladium papaveris based on morphological characterization of conidia, conidiophores and cultures, moreover molecular investigation of the ITS region. Significant morphological differences were observed among the isolates originating from distinct plant parts, however, cultural characteristics were similar. Molecular studies revealed that morphological and cultural differences or similarities do not correspond with taxonomic position of the isolates. Morphological variation of the isolates mainly depended on their origin and might be explained with the differences of microclimatic conditions
The chemical structure of the very young starless core L1521E
L1521E is a dense starless core in Taurus that was found to have relatively
low molecular depletion by earlier studies, thus suggesting a recent formation.
We aim to characterize the chemical structure of L1521E and compare it to the
more evolved L1544 pre-stellar core. We have obtained 2.52.5
arcminute maps toward L1521E using the IRAM-30m telescope in transitions of
various species. We derived abundances for the species and compared them to
those obtained toward L1544. We estimated CO depletion factors. Similarly to
L1544, -CH and CHOH peak at different positions. Most species
peak toward the -CH peak. The CO depletion factor derived toward the
dust peak is 4.31.6, which is about a factor of three lower
than that toward L1544. The abundances of sulfur-bearing molecules are higher
toward L1521E than toward L1544 by factors of 2-20. The abundance of
methanol is similar toward the two cores. The higher abundances of
sulfur-bearing species toward L1521E than toward L1544 suggest that significant
sulfur depletion takes place during the dynamical evolution of dense cores,
from the starless to pre-stellar stage. The CO depletion factor measured toward
L1521E suggests that CO is more depleted than previously found. Similar
CHOH abundances between L1521E and L1544 hint that methanol is forming at
specific physical conditions in Taurus, characterized by densities of a few
10 cm and (H)10 cm, when CO
starts to catastrophically freeze-out, while water can still be significantly
photodissociated, so that the surfaces of dust grains become rich in solid CO
and CHOH, as already found toward L1544. Methanol can thus provide
selective crucial information about the transition region between dense cores
and the surrounding parent cloud.Comment: Accepted for publication in A&A, abstract abridge
