An Archaeometallurgical Investigation on Some Archaeological Metal Finds From the Sasanian Site of Jahāngir, Western Iran

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Twelve metal artifacts from recent excavations at the Sasanian archaeological site of Jahāngir in western Iran have been analyzed. These items include both decorative and utilitarian artifacts. The samples were examined using micro‐X‐ray fluorescence (μ‐XRF), scanning electron microscopy with energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (SEM‐EDS), and

Medicine for the Material World

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT It is clear that many of the inorganic materials of antiquity have been used both as medicines for human ills and also as agents in technological processes. This paper speculates that there might have been a stronger link between these two functions in the past, based on the concept of “active agents”—materials that are efficacious at curing ...

Matsupexole: A novel nonergot dopamine receptor agonist with sustained efficacy in a rat model of Parkinson's disease and limited off‐target activity

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Dopamine receptor agonists, particularly targeting the dopamine D2L receptor (D2LR), have been used to treat Parkinson's disease (PD). However, valvular heart disease and somnolence, mainly caused by activating the serotonin 5‐HT2B receptor (5‐HT2BR) and dopamine D3 receptor (D3R), respectively, currently challenge their clinical

Multileaf Faraday cup for beam energy verification in radiation therapy with ultra-high dose-rate electron beams and ion beams. [PDF]

Med Phys
Abstract Background In radiotherapy and particle therapy, the stability of the beam energy must be checked routinely during quality assurance. This is of particular importance when varying the dose rate via the beam intensity of the accelerator in order to study the FLASH effect when comparing irradiations with conventional and ultra‐high dose rates ...
