An overview of the factors affecting fiber-optic communication lines during lightning discharges and modeling of laboratory installations designed to study the effect of a magnetic... by V. E. Mitrokhin, V. E. Osipov

“…The article provides an overview of the known effects that influence the transmission of information over optical fiber and that arise as a result of lightning discharges: the electro-optical Kerr effect, the Faraday effect, the influence of ionizing radiation. It is indicated that there is preliminary empirical data according to which the magnetic field changes such an optical fiber parameter as attenuation. …”

Insights into the Structures of DNA Damaged by Hydroxyl Radical: Crystal Structures of DNA Duplexes Containing 5-Formyluracil by Masaru Tsunoda, Takeshi Sakaue, Satoko Naito, Tomoko Sunami, Naoko Abe, Yoshihito Ueno, Akira Matsuda, Akio Takénaka

“…The fU residues form a Watson-Crick-type pair with A and two types of pairs (wobble and reversed wobble) with G, the latter being a new type of base pair between ionized thymine base and guanine base. In silico structural modeling suggests that the DNA polymerase can accept the reversed wobble pair with G, as well as the Watson-Crick pair with A.…”

Coupling and Shielding Properties of the Baffle in ICP System by Jozef Brcka, R. Lee Robison

“…This contribution is dealing with experimental and computational evaluation of the deposition baffle that is transparent to radio frequency (RF) magnetic fields generated by an external antenna in an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) source but opaque to the deposition of the metal onto a dielectric wall in ionized physical vapor deposition (IPVD) system. Various engineering aspects related to the deposition baffle are discussed. …”
