Effect of terahertz irradiation on DNA damage repair in living cells. [PDF]
We investigated the effect of terahertz (THz) wave irradiation on DNA double‐strand break (DSB) repair in living cells. We found that THz irradiation enhanced DSB repair at specific frequencies, whereas heat treatment inhibited it, indicating that this effect is nonthermal and frequency‐specific.

Measuring Physical Properties at the Surface of a Comet Nucleus [PDF]
The European Space Agency’s cornerstone mission Rosetta is due for launch in January 2003. It will perform a rendezvous with comet 46P/Wirtanen beyond 3 AU and, following an initial mapping phase, deploy a lander to a selected site on the nucleus surface.

Sclareol Inhibit Cell Growth and Induces Apoptosis via Activation of p53/p21 Signaling Pathways in Human Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cells. [PDF]
The Schematic representation of the possible molecular mechanism of sclareol induces apoptosis through p53 and p21‐associated signaling in KB cells. ABSTRACT One of the most common prevalent forms of cancer in the world is oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Comets and the Origin of Life: Structure of Comets Nuclei and Dust [PDF]
From observations of fragmentation events, clues to a gravitational aggregates structure of some comets nuclei are given. From in-situ and remote light scattering observations, a very high porosity is estimated for dust in comae. These results suggest a possible survival of cometary organics during atmospheric entry at the epoch of intense bombardment.

Thermal model of water and CO activity of Comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) [PDF]
An investigation of the activity of Comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) with a thermophysical nucleus model that does not rely on the existence of amorphous ice is presented.

Stochastic modeling for the COMET-assay [PDF]
We present a stochastic model for single cell gel electrophoresis (COMET-assay) data. Essential is the use of point process structures, renewal theory and reduction to intensity histograms for further data ...

Genotoxicity of nitroso compounds and sodium dichromate in a model combining organ cultures of human nasal epithelia and the comet assay [PDF]
Genotoxic effects of xenobiotics are a possible step in tumor initiation in the mucosa of the upper aerodigestive tract. Using the comet assay, detecting genotoxicity in human tissue has been restricted to single incubations in vitro, but in vivo most ...

Comet P/2021 HS (PANSTARRS) and the Challenge of Detecting Low-activity Comets
Jupiter-family comet (JFC) P/2021 HS (PANSTARRS) only exhibits a coma within a few weeks of its perihelion passage at 0.8 au, which is atypical for a comet.

Comparative Evaluation of Genotoxicity of Captan in Amphibian Larvae (Xenopus laevis and Pleurodeles waltl) Using the Comet Assay and the Micronucleus Test [PDF]
Captan (N-trichloromethylthio-4-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboximide) is a fungicide used to inhibit the growth of many types of fungi on plants used as foodstuffs.

THERMAL SHADOWS AND COMPOSITIONAL STRUCTURE IN COMET NUCLEI [PDF]
We use a fully 3-dimensional thermal evolution model to examine the effects of a non-uniform surface albedo on the subsurface thermal structure of comets. Surface albedo markings cast "thermal shadows", with strong lateral thermal gradients. Corresponding compositional gradients can be strong, especially if the crystallization of amorphous water ice is
