Abstract Several recent reports have identified the scientific requirements for a future soft X-ray light source [Citation1, Citation2, Citation3, Citation4, Citation5], and high-repetition-rate free-electron laser (FEL) facility responsive to them is being studied at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) [Citation6]. The based on continuous-wave (CW) superconducting linear accelerator with beam supplied by high-brightness, photocathode electron gun operating in CW mode, an array of...

ABSTRACT Calcium ions (Ca2+) entering cilia through the ciliary voltage-gated calcium channels (CaV) during action potential causes reversal of power stroke and backward swimming in Paramecium tetraurelia. How is returned to resting level not yet clear. Our focus on pumps as a possible mechanism. There are 23 P. tetraurelia genes for that members family plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPases (PMCAs). They have domains homologous those found mammalian PMCAs. Of 13 pump proteins previously identified...

Experimental mobile radios using pilot carrier single-sideband modulation have been constructed and subjected to field tests. The is used both for a.g.c, demodulation. tests involved side-by-side comparisons with conventional FM equipment in urban surroundings at VHF UHF. SSB was found be no more sensitive ignition noise than less affected by fading. It proposed that suitable land radio, it efficient spectrum usage power.

New generation accelerator-based X-ray light sources require high quality beams with average brightness. Normal conducting L- and S-band photo injectors are limited in repetition rate D-C (photo)injectors field strength at the cathode. We propose a low frequency normal-conducting cavity, operating 50 to 100 MHz CW, provide beam bunches of up cavity frequency. The photoinjector uses re-entrant structure, requiring less than kW peak wall power density 10 W/cm <sup...
