    Notes: Abstract The International Germanium Experiment (IGEX) has now analyzed 117 mol yr of data from its isotopically enriched (86% 76Ge) germanium detectors. Applying pulse shape discrimination (PSD) to the more recent data, the lower bound on the half-life for neutrinoless double-beta decay of 76Ge is deduced: T 1/2(0ν)〉1.57×1025 yr (90% C.L.). This corresponds to an upper bound on the Majorana neutrino mass parameter, 〈m ν〉, between 0.33 eV and 1.35 eV depending on the choice of theoretical nuclear matrix elements used in the analysis.

    Topics: Geosciences
    Notes: Abstract The estuary of Odiel and Tinto rivers, located on the southwestern coast of the Iberian Peninsula, receives acidic fluvial water discharges with high concentrations of sulphates and heavy metals from these rivers. In addition, a big industrial complex which efflues directly on the system is located in the same estuary. The effluents induce the presence in the estuary of high concentrations of heavy metals and phospates (nutrients). The application of factorial analysis techniques on the nutrients and heavy metal concentrations in 46 water samples taken from 32 different sampling stations located along the estuary, allows three groups of elements and compounds with a distinct origin to be determinated. So, Cu and Zn have a clear fluvial provenance, whereas PO4 and As are clearly industrial wastes and Cl, K, Ca, Li, Rb and Sr come from the sea. From the factorial analyses we can deduce the existence of two agents controlling the behavior of the analyzed elements, which are: the tidal exchange with the open sea and the fluvial supply.

    Rio Tinto estuary (Spain): 5000 years of pollution (2000)

    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Geosciences
    Notes: Abstract  Mining of massive sulfide deposits in southwestern Spain extending back to the Copper and Bronze Ages has resulted in the pollution of the Rio Tinto fluvial-estuarine complex, the site of Columbus' departure for the New World in 1492. Additional sources of potential pollution include the large industrial complex at Huelva near the lower portion of the estuary. Extensive analysis of surface sediment samples and cores has established that there are no geographic trends in the distribution of the pollutants, which include Cu, Fe, Pb, Zn, Ti, Ba, Cr, V and Co. These data have, however, demonstrated that tidal flux within the estuary carries phosphorus and perhaps other elements from the industrial complex at Huelva to the tidal limit of the system, several kilometers upstream from the discharge site. Radiometric analysis of short cores shows that sedimentation rates over at least the past couple of centuries have been about 0.3 cm/year. These data and that from a single deep core demonstrate that the estuary was polluted from mining activity long before the large-scale operations began in the late nineteenth century.

    Stratigraphic sequence, elemental concentrations and heavy metal pollution in Holocene sediments from the Tinto-Odiel Estuary, southwestern Spain (1998)

    Notes: Abstract  The Holocene filling of the Tinto-Odiel Estuary comprises seven lithofacies over a Mio-Pliocene substrate. The sequence includes three system tracts: lowstand system (10 000 to 8700 years BP), transgressive system (8700 to 7000 years BP), and regressive system (7000 to Recent). Twenty sediment samples from the 50-m borehole were analyzed for their major components and minor element concentrations. Two multivariate analysis methods, principal component analysis and cluster analysis, were performed in the analytical data set to help visualize the sample clusters and the element associations. Samples corresponding to unpolluted, pre-mining sediments are clearly separated by cluster analysis, mainly as a result of the low content in sulphide-associated heavy metals such as Cu, Zn, As, Ag, and Pb. So, these sediments may be utilized as a background for geochemical analysis (bulk sample) in other adjacent estuaries, both in sandy and silty-clayey sediments. As a consequence of large-scale mining and smelting operations occurred since prehistoric times on the river banks, a rapid rise in the metal pollution was found in the upper 2.5 m of the natural filling, with values exceeding up to ten times the natural background levels. In addition, since the mid-1960s, large amounts of waste and pollutant effluents have been discharged from industries located around the estuary, increasing the heavy metal content in the last 0.3 m of the natural sedimentation.

    The toxin helothermine affects potassium currents in newborn rat cerebellar granule cells (1994)

    Notes: Abstract Helothermine, a recently isolated toxin from the venom of the Mexican beaded lizard Heloderma horridum horridum was tested on K+ currents of newborn rat cerebellar granule cells. In whole-cell voltageclamp experiments, cerebellar granule neurons exhibited at least two different K+ current components: a first transient component which is similar to an I A-type current, is characterized by fast activating and inactivating kinetics and blocked by 4-aminopyridine; a second component which is characterized by noninactivating kinetics, is blocked by tetraetylammonium ions and resembles the classical delayed-rectifier current. When added to the standard external solution at concentrations ranging between 0.1 and 2 μm helothermine reduced the pharmacologically isolated I A-type current component in a voltage- and dose-dependent way, with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 0.52 μm. A comparison between control and nelothermine-modified peak transient currents shows a slowdown of activation and inactivation kinetics. The delayed-rectifier component inhibition was concentration dependent (IC50 = 0.86 μm) but not voltage dependent. No frequency-or use-dependent block was observed on both K+ current types. Perfusing the cells with control solution resulted in quite a complete current recovery. We conclude that helothermine acts with different affinities on two types of K+ current present in central nervous system neurons.

    New results of the WIMP search with the first IGEX Ge detectors (2000)

    Physics of atomic nuclei 63 (2000), S. 1268-1271 
    Details
    ISSN: 1063-7788
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Physics
    Notes: Abstract To search for cold dark matter (CDM) particles, the data from two (Ge-76 and Ge-natural) detectors, fabricated in the first phase of the IGEX collaboration, were accumulated and analyzed for a period from May 1995 to May 1999. The use of effective passive and active shielding together with pulse shape discrimination allowed us to perform long-term measurements with an energy threshold of 2 keV at a level of the residual background 0.1 counts/(kg keV d). New restrictions on masses of weakly interacting massive particles and the cross section of their elastic scattering on nuclei have been obtained from the data corresponding to 810 d of live time. The derived exclusion plots compete with the best bounds obtained so far. Annual modulations of the CDM signal have been also investigated. It is shown that the planned operation of all IGEX detectors (at Canfranc and Baksan) with the recently achieved low-energy thresholds gives a chance to achieve the DAMA annual modulation sensitivity region in a nearest future.

    Generalization of the Darboux transform (2001)
    College Park, Md. : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Journal of Mathematical Physics 42 (2001), S. 966-975

    ISSN: 1089-7658

    Topics: Mathematics , Physics
    Notes: This article presents a generalization of the standard Darboux transform applied to Sturm–Liouville differential equations. This is achieved with the aid of an ansatz as a particular solution for the Riccati relationship involved, which in turn led us to obtain its generalized Darboux solution that contains, as a particular case, the standard Darboux transform. The proposed generalized Darboux transform (GDT), applied to the quantum mechanical field, gives the opportunity to prove the existence of standard and generalized Darboux potentials that match with the so-called isospectral potentials. This is exemplified by obtaining, through the GDT, a set of standard and generalized Darboux potentials that form the partner of the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator model for any quantum principal number. The worked example indicates how the GDT can be used to obtain the isospectral potentials associated to any known specific potential. We consider also the application of our method as proposed to the theory of solitons in order to show why the GDT will be important in other fields of application where the standard Darboux transform is usually concerned. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The reactive collisions of protons with methane molecules at 30 eV in the laboratory frame are studied with the electron nuclear dynamics (END). The results from this theoretical approach, which does not invoke the Born–Oppenheimer approximation and does not impose any constraints on the nuclear dynamics, are compared to the results from time-of-flight measurements. Total differential cross sections and integral cross sections as well as fragmentation ratios and energy loss spectra are discussed.© 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Hypervirial theorem and parameter differentiation: Closed formulation for harmonic oscillator integrals (1987)
    College Park, Md. : American Institute of Physics (AIP)

    Topics: Mathematics , Physics
    Notes: A simple method has been developed to generate a closed formula for the calculation of matrix elements of arbitrary functions f(x) in the representation of the harmonic oscillator. The proposed algebraic procedure is based on the combined use of the hypervirial theorem with and without the second quantization formalism along with the parameter differentiation technique. The closed formula thus obtained is given in terms of a sum involving the jth derivative of f(x) evaluated at zero.
