Laser-assisted spin-polarized transport in graphene tunnel junctions

, 2014
Keldysh nonequilibrium Green's function method is utilized to study theoretically the spin polarized transport through a graphene spin valve irradiated by a monochromatic laser field.

Probing optomechanical correlations between two optical beams down to the quantum level

, 2008
Quantum effects of radiation pressure are expected to limit the sensitivity of second-generation gravitational-wave interferometers. Though ubiquitous, such effects are so weak that they haven't been experimentally demonstrated yet.

Generation of Seed Magnetic Field around First Stars: the Biermann Battery Effect

, 2011
We investigate generation processes of magnetic fields around first stars. Since the first stars are expected to form anisotropic ionization fronts in the surrounding clumpy media, magnetic fields are generated by effects of radiation force as well as ...

Mutational Signatures in Radiation-Induced Cancer: A Review of Experimental Animal and Human Studies

Biology
Ionizing radiation can damage DNA, leading to mutations, and is a risk factor for cancer. Based on the assumption that all radiation exposure poses a risk in linear proportion to its dose, ionizing radiation is considered a non-threshold carcinogen ...

Germline DNA Retention in Murine and Human Rearranged T Cell Receptor Gene Coding Joints: Alternative Recombination Signal Sequences and V(D)J Recombinase Errors

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
The genes coding for the antigenic T cell receptor (TR) subunits are assembled in thymocytes from discrete V, D, and J genes by a site-specific recombination process.

Interference effects in medium-induced gluon radiation [PDF]

, 2011
As a step towards understanding the in-medium evolution of a hard jet, we consider the interference pattern for the medium induced gluon radiation produced by a color singlet quark-antiquark antenna embedded in a QCD medium with size L.

Mutational profiles of spontaneous and radiation-related mammary carcinomas in a rat model of Brca1 haploinsufficiency

Scientific Reports
Female carriers of a heterozygous germline mutation in BRCA1/2 have a high risk of breast cancer. Although recent research has suggested that genomic instability via BRCA1/2 haploinsufficiency contributes to the early phase of BRCA-associated ...

The Matrix Element Method and QCD Radiation

, 2011
The matrix element method (MEM) has been extensively used for the analysis of top-quark and W-boson physics at the Tevatron, but in general without dedicated treatment of initial state QCD radiation.

In vitro study of radiosensitivity in colorectal cancer cell lines associated with Lynch syndrome

Frontiers in Public Health
IntroductionLynch syndrome patients have an inherited predisposition to cancer due to a deficiency in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes which could lead to a higher risk of developing cancer if exposed to ionizing radiation. This pilot study aims to reveal

Potential benefits of cool roofs in reducing heat-related mortality during heatwaves in a European city

Environment International, 2019
Hot weather can exacerbate health conditions such as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, and lead to heat stroke and death. In built up areas, temperatures are commonly observed to be higher than those in surrounding rural areas, due to the Urban ...
