In this work the mechanism of resonance is proposed as the way for determining of paint age, by application of this method. This method consists in accelerated paint ageing on the basis of resonance. Measuring is concerned with humidity of paint and it is a general method since water molecules are present in every material. The molecules of water have random distribution. They oscillate in shallow potential wells so that they can be ejected from paint with low energy quanta, thus decreasing the paint humidity by evaporation process. The high energy quanta accelerate this process of the paint ageing. Since water molecule is mechanical oscillator it can be turned into resonance by application of mechanical periodical field, but since it is electric dipole it can be even more conveniently turned into resonance with periodic electric field.

The goal of this paper is to investigate the final stage of the black-hole-evaporation process in the framework of Lorentz-violating modified dispersion relations (MDRs). As a consequence of MDRs, the high energy sector of the underlying field theory does not decouple from the low energy sector — a phenomenon known as UV/IR mixing. In the absence of exact supersymmetry, we derive an MDR which shows UV/IR mixing by a novel energy dependence. Then we investigate the effects of this type of MDRs on the thermodynamics of a radiating noncommutative Schwarzschild black hole. The final stage of black hole evaporation obtained in this framework is compared with existing pictures.

<div>We report a combined experimental and theoretical study of bulk water photoionization. Angular distributions of photoelectrons produced by ionizing the valence band of neat water using X-ray radiation (250-750 eV) show a limited (<30 %) decrease in the beta anisotropy parameter compared to the gas phase, indicating that the electronic structure of the individual water molecules can be probed. By theoretical modeling using high-level electronic structure methods, we show that in a high-energy regime photoionization of bulk can be described as an incoherent superposition of individual molecules, in contrast to a low-energy regime where photoionization probes delocalized entangled states of molecular aggregates. The two regimes-low energy versus high energy-are defined as limiting cases where the de Broglie wavelength of the photoelectron is either larger or smaller than the intermolecular distance between water molecules, respectively. The comparison of the measured and computed anisotropies reveals that at high kinetic energies the observed reduction in beta is mostly due to scattering rather than rehybridization due to solvation.</div>

Transportation efficiency can be measured in terms of the energy needed to move a person or a tonne of freight over a given distance. For passengers, journey time is important, so an equally useful measure is the product of the energy used and the time taken for the journey. Transportation requires storage of energy. Rechargeable systems such as batteries have very low energy densities as compared to fossil fuels. The highest energy densities come from nuclear fuels, although, because of shielding requirements, these are not practical for most forms of transportation. Liquid hydrocarbons represent a nice compromise between high energy density and ease of use.

The complex physical and chemical reactions between the large number of low-energy (0–30 eV) electrons (LEEs) released by high energy radiation interacting with genetic material can lead to the formation of various DNA lesions such as crosslinks, single strand breaks, base modifications, and cleavage, as well as double strand breaks and other cluster damages. When crosslinks and cluster damages cannot be repaired by the cell, they can cause genetic loss of information, mutations, apoptosis, and promote genomic instability. Through the efforts of many research groups in the past two decades, the study of the interaction between LEEs and DNA under different experimental conditions has unveiled some of the main mechanisms responsible for these damages. In the present review, we focus on experimental investigations in the condensed phase that range from fundamental DNA constituents to oligonucleotides, synthetic duplex DNA, and bacterial (i.e., plasmid) DNA. These targets were irradiated either with LEEs from a monoenergetic-electron or photoelectron source, as sub-monolayer, monolayer, or multilayer films and within clusters or water solutions. Each type of experiment is briefly described, and the observed DNA damages are reported, along with the proposed mechanisms. Defining the role of LEEs within the sequence of events leading to radiobiological lesions contributes to our understanding of the action of radiation on living organisms, over a wide range of initial radiation energies. Applications of the interaction of LEEs with DNA to radiotherapy are briefly summarized.
