One of the campaign promises dealt with overturning the long held ban of homosexuals serving in the military. This socially charged issue has caught the attention of the military because a change in current law which bans homosexuals from serving ...
Monte Carlo simulation of energy absorption in oriented fibers of DNA is used to model the dependence of free radical yields on the orientation of the fibers relative to a flux of ionizing radiation. We assume a large asymmetry in the thermal conductivity of the fibers that permits rapid transport of vibrational energy along a DNA molecule, but not between different molecules. Based on this assumption, our model predicts that ...
