Beta-decay in odd-A and even-even proton-rich Kr isotopes

Beta-decay properties of proton-rich odd-A and even-even Krypton isotopes are studied in the framework of a deformed selfconsistent Hartree-Fock calculation with density-dependent Skyrme forces, including pairing correlations between like nucleons in BCS approximation. Residual spin-isospin interactions are consistently included in the particle-hole and particle-particle channels and treated in Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation. The similarities and differences in the treatment of even-even and odd-A nuclei are stressed. Comparison to available experimental information is done for Gamow-Teller strength distributions, summed strengths, and half-lives. The dependence of these observables on deformation is particularly emphasized in a search for signatures of the shape of the parent nucleus.Comment: 29 pages, 16 figure

Hyperfragments from light 1p-shell nuclei

Our contribution is inspired by the possibility to identify hyperfragments in the reaction (e, e′K+). In the near future two experiments at JLab and Mainz will provide a systematic study of the fragments from the primary p-shell hypernuclei

NONEXPERIMENTAL SCREENING OF THE WATER SOLUBILITY, LIPOPHILICITY, BIOAVAILABILITY, MUTAGENICITY AND TOXICITY OF VARIOUS PESTICIDES WITH QSAR MODELS AID

In our study the dataset containing 489 pesticides and their active substances of different classes of organic compounds was used for analysis. For compounds of analyzed dataset the values of lipophilicity, water solubility, toxicity, bioavailability and mutagenicity were predicted by developed QSAR models. The most environmentally hazardous substances were identified using prediction of QSAR models for pesticides. The satisfactory coincidence between the experimental values of investigated properties and their predicted values by QSAR models was obtained (coefficient of determination in the range 83-94 %)

The Proterozoic evolution of northern Siberian Craton margin: a comparison of U–Pb–Hf signatures from sedimentary units of the Taimyr orogenic belt and the Siberian platform

Identifying the cratonic affinity of Neoproterozoic crust that surrounds the northern margin of the Siberian Craton (SC) is critical for determining its tectonic evolution and placing the Craton in Neoproterozoic supercontinental reconstructions. Integration of new U–Pb–Hf detrital zircon data with regional geological constraints indicates that distinct Neoproterozoic arc-related magmatic belts can be identified within the Taimyr orogen. Sedimentary rocks derived from 970 to 800 Ma arc-related suites reveal abundant Archean and Paleoproterozoic detritus, characteristic of the SC. The 720–600 Ma arc-related zircon population from the younger Cambrian sedimentary rocks is also complemented by an exotic juvenile Mesoproterozoic zircon population and erosional products of older arc-related suites. Nonetheless, numerous evidences imply that both arcs broadly reworked Siberian basement components. We suggest that the early Neoproterozoic (ca. 970–800 Ma) arc system of the Taimyr orogen evolved on the active margin of the SC and probably extended along the periphery of Rodinia into Valhalla orogen of NE Laurentia. We also suggest the late Neoproterozoic (750–550 Ma) arc system could have been part of the Timanian orogen, which linked Siberia and Baltica at the Precambrian/Phanerozoic transition
