Accelerators

288
Accelerators in concrete serve as admixtures to speed up the hardening process, enabling the concrete to achieve early strength faster. Although accelerators do not necessarily impact the time it takes concrete to set, they reduce this time in practice. A common accelerator is calcium chloride, which is particularly useful for hastening early strength development in cold weather or for rapid repair jobs that require quick heat generation after mixing.
The effectiveness of calcium chloride can...

Viral Recombination00:57

Viral Recombination

25.1K
Cells are sometimes infected by more than one virus at once. When two viruses disassemble to expose their genomes for replication in the same cell, similar regions of their genomes can pair together and exchange sequences in a process called recombination. Alternatively, viruses with segmented genomes can swap segments in a process called reassortment.

Homologous Recombination02:31

Homologous Recombination

63.0K
The basic reaction of homologous recombination (HR) involves two chromatids that contain DNA sequences sharing a significant stretch of identity. One of these sequences uses a strand from another as a template to synthesize DNA in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. The final product is a novel amalgamation of the two substrates. To ensure an accurate recombination of sequences, HR is restricted to the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle. At these stages, the DNA has been replicated already and the...

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

6.8K
Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
The recognition sites for Cre recombinase called LoxP...

Sound Intensity00:58

Sound Intensity

4.8K
The loudness of a sound source is related to how energetically the source is vibrating, consequently making the molecules of the propagation medium vibrate. To measure the loudness of a source, the physical quantity of interest is the intensity. This is defined as the energy emitted per unit of time per unit of area perpendicular to the sound wave's propagation direction. Since the total energy is greater if the source vibrates for a longer duration and over a larger area, dividing the...

This summary is machine-generated.

Intense laser pulses unexpectedly create fast neutral atoms. A new model explains this enhanced neutralization through electron-ion copropagation, crucial for understanding particle dynamics.

Area of Science:

  • Plasma physics
  • Laser-matter interactions
  • Atomic physics

Background:

  • Intense laser pulses interacting with solid targets typically do not produce fast neutral atoms.
  • Observed neutralization rates in proton acceleration experiments are unexpectedly high (200x).
  • Fast neutral atoms are significant components of particle emissions at specific energies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explain the unexpectedly high neutralization of accelerated protons.
  • To develop a model accounting for enhanced fast neutral atom formation.
  • To experimentally verify the proposed neutralization mechanism.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental investigation of laser-matter interactions with short pulse, high contrast lasers.
  • Development of a theoretical model based on electron-ion copropagation.
  • Experimental verification of the proposed recombination model.

Main Results:

  • A 200-fold increase in neutralization compared to expectations was observed.
  • Fast neutral atoms constitute up to 80% of fast particles at 10 keV.
  • The proposed model, involving recombination away from the target, accurately explains the experimental findings.

Conclusions:

  • Conventional models fail to explain the observed high neutralization rates.
  • A novel model of electron-ion copropagation and distant recombination successfully accounts for enhanced neutral atom formation.
  • This study highlights the interconnected dynamics of ions and electrons in enhancing neutral atom production.
