Severity of effect considerations regarding the use of mutation as a toxicological endpoint for risk assessment: A report from the 8th International Workshop on Genotoxicity Testing (IWGT)

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure levels without appreciable human health risk may be determined by dividing a point of departure on a dose–response curve (e.g., benchmark dose) by a composite adjustment factor (AF). An “effect severity” AF (ESAF) is employed in some regulatory contexts.

Cosmic ray physics with ARGO-YBJ [PDF]

Nuclear and Particle Physics Proceedings, 2016
The ARGO--YBJ experiment has been in stable data taking for more than five years at the Yangbajing cosmic ray observatory (Tibet, P.R. China, 4300 m a.s.l.). The detector collected about $5\times10^{11}$ events in a wide energy range from few TeVs up to the PeV region.

Flexible and modular PET: Evaluating the potential of TOF‐DOI panel detectors

Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract BackgroundPanel detectors have the potential to provide a flexible, modular approach to Positron Emission Tomography (PET), enabling customization to meet patient‐specific needs and scan objectives. The panel design allows detectors to be positioned close to the patient, aiming to enhance sensitivity and spatial resolution through improved ...

Transforming DIY Geiger Counter Kits into Muon Detectors for Education and Scientific Exploration

Particles
Any Geiger counter can be used as an effective cosmic ray detector on its own. In fact, it is known that even in the absence of a radioactive source, the instrument detects what is known as background radiation, which consists of various types of ...

The tentacles of surveillance: Cephalopods and United States satellite intelligence

Journal for the Anthropology of North America, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the symbol placed on a US spy satellite, National Reconnaissance Office Launch–39 (NROL‐39). In 2013, NROL‐39 was launched into space, the payload vehicle and mission patch emblazoned with a gigantic octopus, its tentacles surrounding the globe, and the words “Nothing Is Beyond Our Reach” written below the globe.

Estimating Interplanetary Magnetic Field Conditions at Mercury's Orbit From MESSENGER Magnetosheath Observations Using a Feedforward Neural Network

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation
Mercury's small magnetosphere is embedded in the dynamic and intense solar wind environment characteristic of the inner heliosphere. Both the magnitude and orientation of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) significantly influence the solar wind ...

No thanks: How an ideology of sharing, not reciprocating, ensures abundance in the forests of south‐eastern Cameroon

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Reciprocity and relationality are themes which frequently emerge with respect to human–nature associations in Indigenous groups around the world. But many hunter‐gatherers have been shown to reject systems of reciprocity, instead favouring unconditional sharing both between each other and their environment through egalitarian social structures.

The Problem of Hell: A Thomistic Critique of David Bentley Hart’s NeceSsitarian Universalism

Modern Theology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 47-67, January 2023., 2023
Abstract David Bentley Hart has recently argued that universal salvation is a metaphysically necessary outcome of God’s act of creating rational beings. A crucial premise of Hart’s argument is a compatibilist view of free will, according to which God can determine human choices without taking away their freedom.
