A Stability Formula for Plastic-Tipped Bullets Part 1: Motivation and Development of New Formula [PDF]
Part 1 of this paper describes a modification of the original Miller twist rule for computing gyroscopic bullet stability that is better suited to plastic-tipped bullets. The original Miller twist rule assumes a bullet of constant density, but it also works well for conventional copper (or gilding metal) jacketed lead bullets because the density of ...

Class of solvable reaction-diffusion processes on Cayley tree [PDF]
Considering the most general one-species reaction-diffusion processes on a Cayley tree, it has been shown that there exist two integrable models. In the first model, the reactions are the various creation processes, i.e. $\circ\circ\to\bullet\circ$, $\circ\circ\to\bullet\bullet$ and $\circ\bullet\to\bullet\bullet$, and in the second model, only the ...

*-transforms of acyclic complexes [PDF]
Let R be an n-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local ring and Q a parameter ideal of R. Suppose that an acyclic complex (F_{\bullet}, \varphi_{\bullet}) of length n of finitely generated free R-modules is given.

MicroRNA Therapeutics: the Next Magic Bullet?
MicroRNAs are short noncoding 18-25 nucleotide long RNA which bind and inhibit mRNA. Currently, there are over 1000 known human microRNAs, and microRNAs control over 50% of mammalian protein coding genes.

Comparing Terminal Performance of .357 SIG and 9mm Bullets in Ballistic Gelatin Using Retarding Force Analysis from High Speed Video [PDF]
High-speed video has emerged as an valuable tool for quantifying bullet performance in ballistic gelatin. This paper presents the results of testing four .357 SIG bullets using high-speed video of bullet impacts in ballistic gelatin to determine retarding force curves, permanent cavities, temporary cavities, and energy deposit vs.

Penetrating cardiac injury resulting in a bullet embolus: a case report [PDF]
Bullet embolism is a potential complication of a gunshot wound, especially with a low-velocity missile. This is because the trajectory of the low-velocity bullet can be significantly slowed as it passes through tissue. An unusual form of travel can occur
