National Relics: Secular Sacrality, Museums, and Heritage‐Making in Nineteenth‐Century Chile
Museum Anthropology, Volume 49, Issue 2, Fall 2026.ABSTRACT This article examines how objects and bodily remains are transformed and ritualized into national relics through collecting and exhibiting practices in museums. Focusing on nineteenth‐century Chile, it draws on archival sources, material culture theory, and the anthropology of religion to argue that objects associated with Chile's nation‐state

Monte carlo assessment of advanced shielding materials for space‐efficient radiotherapy vault design
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Background Conventional radiotherapy vault shielding typically employs 2 to 3 meters of ordinary concrete, consistent with NCRP Report 151 reference data. While NCRP 151 specifies dose‐based design goals rather than mandating particular materials, the practical default of concrete results in vault footprints of 150 to 200 m2 per linac, which ...
