Abstract
Resistivity ρ(T), Hall coefficient RH(T), superconducting transition temperature Tc and slopes of the upper critical field dHc2/dT were studied in (Ba1-xKx)Fe2As2 (x = 0.218, 0.356, 0.531) single crystals irradiated with fast neutrons. It is found that dTc/dρSC-the rate of decreasing Tc as a function of the ρSC (ρSC is the resistivity at T = Tc)-linearly increases with concentration x. Slow changes in the Hall coefficient RH, as well as the quadratic electronic contribution to the resistivity, show that there are no substantial changes in the topology of the Fermi surface caused by irradiation. The slopes of the upper critical field dHc2/dT in ab and c directions as a function of ρSC determined by Hall measurements show a reasonable agreement with a model that suggests constancy of the band parameters.

Abstract
This work explores the feasibility of orange peel, a citrus processing biomass as an alternative precursor for preparation of activated carbon (OPAC) via microwave assisted K(2)CO(3) activation. The operational parameters, chemical impregnation ratio, microwave power and irradiation time on the carbon yield and adsorption capability were investigated. The virgin characteristics of OPAC were examined by pore structural analysis, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption isotherm, elemental analysis, surface acidity/basicity and zeta potential measurement. The optimum conditions resulted in OPAC with a monolayer adsorption capacity of 382.75 mg/g for methylene blue and carbon yield of 80.99%. The BET surface area, Langmuir surface area and total pore volume were identified to be 1104.45 m(2)/g, 1661.04 m(2)/g and 0.615 m(3)/g, respectively. Equilibrium data were simulated using the Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Redlich-Peterson, and Toth isotherms, and kinetic data were fitted to the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and Elovich kinetic models.

Abstract
Radiation damage in macromolecular crystals is not suppressed even at 90 K. This is particularly true for covalent bonds involving an anomalous scatterer (such as bromine) at the 'peak wavelength'. It is shown that a series of absorption spectra recorded on a brominated RNA faithfully monitor the extent of cleavage. The continuous spectral changes during irradiation preserve an 'isosbestic point', each spectrum being a linear combination of 'zero' and 'infinite' dose spectra. This easily yields a good estimate of the partial occupancy of bromine at any intermediate dose. The considerable effect on the near-edge features in the spectra of the crystal orientation versus the beam polarization has also been examined and found to be in good agreement with a previous study. Any significant influence of the (C-Br bond/beam polarization) angle on the cleavage kinetics of bromine was also searched for, but was not detected. These results will be useful for standard SAD/MAD experiments and for the emerging 'radiation-damage-induced phasing' method exploiting both the anomalous signal of an anomalous scatterer and the 'isomorphous' signal resulting from its cleavage.

Abstract
The photocatalytic disinfection of pathogenic bacteria in water was investigated systematically with AgI/TiO2 under visible light (lambda > 420 nm) irradiation. The catalyst was found to be highly effective in killing Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The adsorbed *OH and hVB+ on the surface of the catalyst were proposed to be the main active oxygen species by study of electron spin resonance and the effect of radical scavengers. The process of destruction of the cell wall and the cell membrane was verified by TEM, potassium ion leakage, lipid peroxidation, and FT-IR measurements. Some products from photocatalytic degradation of bacteria such as aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids were identified by FT-IR spectroscopy. These results suggested that the photocatalytic degradation of the cell structure caused the cell death. The electrostatic force interaction of the bacteria-catalyst significantly affected the efficiency of disinfection on the basis of the E. coli inactivation under different conditions.

Abstract
The parameters characterising the trap centres involved in the thermoluminescence of KMgF3:LaF3 compounds have been found by deconvolving the glow curve with the General One Trap model (GOT). For the fitting procedure the Levenberg-Marquardt method has been employed. Tm-T(stop) measurements along with initial rise measurements were performed in order to estimate the number of peaks the glow curve is made up of, and the corresponding activation energies. Instead of the Runge-Kutta method, a novel algorithm has been employed to integrate the differential equation of the GOT model, which reduces the computational time nearly 30 times with respect to the former when the glow curve is recorded with a lineal heating rate profile. The strong computational time reduction makes feasible a large number of runs with different guess values. An interesting result is that the concentration of disconnected deep traps is much less than the concentration of trap centres.

Abstract
Molecular delivery via electroporation is typically done via molecular diffusion and tissue perfusion. The inherent variability in those distribution methods limits the efficacy of this medical and laboratory technique. Electrophoresis has been shown to improve the distribution and placement of the molecule [Gene Therapy 9 (2002) 1286]. This paper presents a fluid flow model for electrophoresis in tissues. Parallel plate and four-needle needle array electrodes are the electrodes modeled as the delivery devices. The parallel plate electrode produces a homogeneous distribution of the analyte but the needle array electrode creates a peak where the electric field effects diminish.

Abstract
Dual-sided perfusions of the human placental cotyledon in vitro were used to study effects of low intensity magnetic fields (MFs) of 2 mT, 50 Hz (E1, 10 perfusions) and 5 mT, 50 Hz (E2, 10 perfusions). In the control group C (10 experiments) no field was used. Perfusions lasted 180 min each. Increased release of calcium ions from the placental cotyledon was found in the fetal circulation during perfusion when the 2 mT, 50 Hz MF was used. No changes in the release of sodium and magnesium ions were observed compared to the control group. The 5 mT, 50 Hz oscillating MF intensified the release of sodium ions from the perfused cotyledon both to the fetal and maternal circulation up to the 150th min of the experiment. Increased release of magnesium ions was observed only to the fetal circulation between 120 and 180 min and of calcium ions to the fetal circulation between 60 and 180 min. No significant differences in K concentrations were found between the control and MF exposed cotyledons under conditions of these experiments.

Abstract
Results of prior investigations with opioid peptide mediated antinociception or analgaesia have suggested that these extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic field effects are described by a resonance mechanism rather than mechanisms based on either induced currents or magnetite. Here we show that ELF magnetic fields (141-414 microT peak) can, in a manner consistent with the predictions of Lednev's parametric resonance model (PRM) for the calcium ion, either (i) reduce, (ii) have no effect on, or (iii) increase endogenous opioid mediated analgaesia in the land snail, Cepaea nemoralis. When the magnetic fields were set to parameters for the predictions of the PRM for the potassium ion, opioid-peptide mediated analgaesia increased and there was evidence of antagonism by the K(+) channel blocker, glibenclamide. Furthermore, these effects were dependent on the presence of light; the effects were absent in the absence of light. These observed increases and decreases in opioid analgaesia are largely consistent with the predictions of Lednev's PRM.

Abstract
It had been found that both the single prolonged irradiation and chronic (fractionated) one with doses of 25 and 50 cGy (1.75 mGy/min) caused essential modification of the biphase modulative effects of acetylcholine and gamma-aminobutyric acid upon K+ level in rat brain cortex slices to be compared to the acute lethal irradiation influence. The results of model experiments showed saturated fatty acids to be significant for the changes in regulative functions of nerve cell membranes after exposure to low dose-rate radiation.

Abstract
Effects of a switched, time-varying 1.7 T magnetic field on Rb(+)(K+) uptake by HeLa S3 cells incubated in an isosmotic high K(+) medium were examined. The magnetic flux density was varied intermittently from 0.07-1.7 T at an interval of 3 s. K(+) uptake was activated by replacement of normal medium by high K(+) medium. A membrane-permeable Ca(2+) chelating agent (BAPTA-AM) and Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) channel inhibitors (quinine, charibdotoxin, and iberiotoxin) were found to reduce the Rb(+)(K+) uptake by about 30-40%. Uptake of K(+) that is sensitive to these drugs is possibly mediated by Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) channels. The intermittent magnetic field partly suppress ed the drug-sensitive K(+) uptake by about 30-40% (P < 0.05). To test the mechanism of inhibition by the magnetic fields, intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]c) was measured using Fura 2-AM. When cells were placed in the high K(+) medium, [Ca(2+)]c increased to about 1.4 times the original level, but exposure to the magnetic fields completely suppressed the increase (P < 0.01). Addition of a Ca(2+) ionophore (ionomycin) to the high K(+) medium increased [Ca(2+)]c to the level of control cells, regardless of exposure to the magnetic field. But the inhibition of K(+) uptake by the magnetic fields was not restored by addition of ionomycin. Based on our previous results on magnetic field-induced changes in properties of the cell membrane, these results indicate that exposure to the magnetic fields partly suppresses K(+) influx, which may be mediated by Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) channels. The suppress ion of K(+) fluxes could relate to a change in electric properties of cell surface and an inhibition of Ca(2+) influx mediated by Ca(2+) channels of either the cell plasma membrane or the inner vesicular membrane of intracellular Ca(2+) stores.

Abstract
We recently reported that cephalic regeneration in the planarian Dugesia tigrina was significantly delayed in populations exposed continuously to combined parallel DC and AC magnetic fields. This effect was consistent with hypotheses suggesting an underlying resonance phenomenon. We report here, in a parallel series of investigations on the same model system, that the incidence of regeneration anomalies presenting as tumor-like protuberances also increases significantly (P < .001) in association with exposure to weak 60 Hz magnetic fields, with peak intensities ranging between 1.0 and 80.0 microT. These anomalies often culminate in the complete disaggregation of the organism. Similar to regeneration rate effects, the incidence of regeneration anomalies is specifically dependent upon the planaria possessing a fixed orientation with respect to the applied magnetic field vectors. However, unlike the regeneration rate effects, the AC magnetic field alone, in the absence of any measurable DC field, is capable of producing these anomalies. Moreover, the incidence of regeneration anomalies follows a clear dose-response relationship as a function of AC magnetic field intensity, with the threshold for induced electric field intensity estimated at 5 microV/m. The addition of either 51.1 or 78.4 microT DC magnetic fields, applied in parallel combination with the AC field, enhances the appearance of anomalies relative to the 60 Hz AC field alone, but only at certain AC field intensities. Thus, whereas our previous study of regeneration rate effects appeared to involve exclusively resonance interactions, the regeneration anomalies reported here appear to result primarily from Faraday induction coupling. These results together with those reported previously point to two distinct physiological effects produced in regenerating planaria by exposure to weak extremely-low-frequency (ELF) magnetic fields. They further suggest that the planarian, which has recently been identified elsewhere as an excellent system for use in teratogenic investigations involving chemical teratogens, might be used similarly in teratogenic investigations involving ELF magnetic fields.

Abstract
Whole-body X irradiation with doses of 0.155 and 0.310 C/kg was shown to modify in different ways the activating effects of noradrenaline and serotonin, as well as a biphase effect of dopamine (5.10(-8)--1.5.10(-3) M) on Na,K-pump of neuronal membranes. The resulting effect was a function of a combination of radiation doses and neurotransmitter concentrations and thus showed different modes of interaction between neurotransmitter and ion-transport systems of brain cells in radiation sickness. The authors discuss possible molecular mechanisms of radiation modification of the functional interaction between the neurotransmitter and the active ion-transport systems in nerve cells.

Abstract
In order to mimic the direct effect of ionizing radiation on DNA, deoxygenated aqueous solutions of potassium peroxodisulphate, tert-butanol and 1,3,6-trimethyluracil (1,3,6-Me3 U) or 1,3-dimethylthymine (1,3-Me2 T) were irradiated with 60Co gamma rays; the sulphate radical formed by the reaction of the solvated electron with peroxodisulphate oxidizes these pyrimidines. In the case of 1,3,6-Me3 U, a chain reaction results in the formation of sulphuric acid, the glycols (two thirds) and 1,3,6-trimethylisobarbituric acid (one third). Typically, at 5 x 10(-4) mol dm-3 1,3,6-Me3 U, 4 x 10(-2) mol dm-3 S2O8(2-) and 10(-2) mol dm-3 tert-BuOH with a dose-rate of 2.2 x 10(-3) Gy s-1, G(H+) is 220 x 10(-7) mol J-1. We believe that the sulphate radical adds to the 1,3,6-Me3 U and the adduct rapidly loses the sulphate dianion, giving rise to the 1,3,6-Me3 U radical cation. This reacts with water, yielding a proton and the reducing 1,3,6-Me3U C(5)-OH,C(6)-yl radical, which reacts with peroxodisulphate and so propagates the chain. In this oxidation process a carbocation is formed which can either react with water yielding the glycols, or deprotonate yielding the 1,3,6-trimethylisobarbituric acid. The 1,3-Me2 T system behaves differently. No chain reaction of any significance is induced. In the presence of oxygen an allyl-type radical can be trapped, as shown by the subsequent formation of 1,3-dimethyl-5-formyluracil (G = 2.1 x 10(-7) mol J-1) and 1,3-dimethyl-5-hydroxymethyluracil (G = 0.2 x 10(-7) mol J-1). As the corresponding products are not observed in the 1,3,6-Me3 U system, it is concluded that in contrast to the 1,3,6-Me3 U radical cation, the 1,3-Me2 T radical cation efficiently deprotonates (at C5-methyl), apart from also being able to react with water. In basic solution, OH- adds to the 1,3-Me2 T radical cation, thereby suppressing the formation of the allyl-type radical. Quantum-chemical model calculations on uracil, thymine and 6-methyluracil show why 1,3-Me2 T and 1,3,6-Me3 U should differ in their behaviour.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Data presented by the authors testifies to the fact that neither 2 weeks, nor one month after the 10-day course of ultraviolet irradiation (UVR) with an intensity from 1/4 up to 2 biodoses daily changes in calcium, sodium and potassium content in blood serum of laboratory animals (white rats) were detected. At the same time, 2 weeks following the cessation of UVR course a tendency towards calcium accumulation in the whole organism of laboratory animals was observed, which was most noticeable+ after daily 10-day exposure to UVR with an intensity from 1/2 up to 1 biodose. The tendency was still present one month following the termination of UVR course. The total sodium and potassium store in the whole organism of laboratory animals did not practically change either immediately, or 2 weeks, or 1 month after the termination of 10-day UVR course with the intensity from 1/4 to 2 biodoses daily.

Abstract
Changes induced by the effect of microwave irradiation (2450 MHz, specific absorbed power from 0.1 to 5 W/g, continuous and pulsed-modulated regime) on potassium ion transport and oxygen consumption in the perfused liver do not virtually differ from those induced by heating the perfusate: this is indicative of a "thermal" mechanism of action of microwave radiation.

The influence of hydrocortisone and radiation on potassium homeostasis in isolated hepatocytes (in vivo experiments) and perfusing liver of mongrel rats has been investigated. The effects of hydrocortisone and radiation (7 Gy) on redistribution of intracellular potassium are shown to be similar with respect to their depth and direction. However with the hormone and ionizing radiation delivered simultaneously no additivity of the effects is registered.

Abstract
Similar downhill gradients of [K]0 were revealed in the aspartate--treated dark--adapted frog retina and in the eye cup without aspartate. [K]0 in the receptor layer is 8 X 10(-3) M, while in the proximal retina it is nearly 2.7 X 10(-3) M. Illumination decreased [K]0 in the receptor layer to 2.5 X 10(-3) M. The dark level and the light-induced changes of [K]0 were practically unaltered when Ba2+ ions suppressed the slow PIII and the resting transretinal glia potential blocking up the Müller cells permeability for K+. The findings suggest that [K]0 around the receptor space is regulated by red rods with no interference from the Müller cells or pigment epithelial cells. The amplitude of [K]0 changes seems to be physiologically significant.

Abstract
Whole human blood was subjected to a microwave environment at 434 MHz for 6 hr with external electric fields corresponding to free space power densities up to 598 mW cm-2 and the levels of hemoglobin, sodium, and potassium in the plasma were monitored. Under geometrical conditions in which the field strength within the samples was unknown, measurements indicated increased red cell membrane fragility following irradiation. It was not possible to exclude localized heating as an explanation of this effect. However, with a known and reasonably uniform electric field distribution within spherical specimens, increased membrane fragility was not observed. We are therefore unable to confirm previously reported results which indicate a nonthermal deleterious effect of microwave radiation on erythrocytes.

Abstract
Experiments on adult rats have shown that a single rectal x-ray irradiation is accompanied by a decrease in the content of adrenaline, noradrenaline and potassium and by a increase in sodium and calcium concentration in vascular tissue. The degree of these shifts depends on the time elapsed after exposure to x-rays. X-Ray injury produces specific changes in the biochemical response of the vascular wall to different doses of acetylcholine and histamine during varying times of x-ray-induced pathology. Pretreatment (before irradiation) with radioprotectors (cistamine) lowers the damaging effect of radiation and promotes the normalization of the vascular tissue response to the administration of mediator agents.

Abstract
In isolated frog retina after treatment with aspartate the photoinduced change of the extracellular potassium ions concentration [K+]0) was compared with slow PIII potential (sPIII). The time course of [K+]0 change in the outer nuclear layer was like that in sPIII one. Both the size of [K+]0 change and the sPIII amplitude were increased almost in proportion to the Log light stimulus duration in the whole range of durations used (from 13 ms to 13 s). Such similarity between these two processes suggests that there is a direct relationship between sPIII and [K+]0 change. On the basis of our data the electrical model of sPIII generation by Muller cells in response to photoinduced [K+]0 change in the photoreceptor layer is proposed.
