Deriving Iodine-free spectra for high-resolution echelle spectrographs [PDF]
We describe a new method to derive clean, iodine-free spectra directly from observations acquired using high-resolution echelle spectrographs equipped with iodine cells. The main motivation to obtain iodine-free spectra is to use portions of the spectrum that are superimposed with the dense forest of iodine absorption lines, in order to retrieve lines ...

A compact iodine-laser operating at 531 nm with stability at the 10$^{-12}$ level and using a coin-sized laser module [PDF]
We demonstrate a compact iodine-stabilized laser operating at 531 nm using a coin-sized light source consisting of a 1062-nm distributed-feedback diode laser and a frequency-doubling element. A hyperfine transition of molecular iodine is observed using the light source with saturated absorption spectroscopy.

Absolute quantification in multi-pinhole micro-SPECT for different isotopes [PDF]
In preclinical Single Photon Emission Tomography (SPECT), absolute quantification is interesting, expressed in percentage of injected radioactive dose per gram of tissue.

The puzzles of dark matter searches
Positive results of dark matter searches in DAMA/NaI and DAMA/LIBRA experiments, being put together with negative results of other groups, can imply nontrivial particle physics solutions for cosmological dark matter.

Determination of fission fragment yields using the sorbtion process [PDF]
The separation of iodine isotopes from the sum of 235U fission products by the sorption process from water solution using coal sorbent SKS was investigated. The sorption coefficient values in range 0,7 - 0,9 was obtained.

Features of adsorbed radioactive chemical elements and their isotopes distribution in iodine air filters AU-1500 at nuclear power plants [PDF]
The main aim of research is to investigate the physical features of spatial distribution of the adsorbed radioactive chemical elements and their isotopes in the granular filtering medium in the iodine air filters of the type of AU1500 in the forced exhaust ventilation systems at the nuclear power plant.

Superconducting High Pressure Phases Composed of Hydrogen and Iodine [PDF]
Evolutionary structure searches predict three new phases of iodine polyhydrides stable under pressure. Insulating P1-H5I, consisting of zigzag chains of HI (delta+)and H2(delta-) molecules, is stable between 30-90 GPa. Cmcm-H2I and P6/mmm-H4I are found on the 100, 150 and 200 GPa convex hulls.

Observations of Fallout from the Fukushima Reactor Accident in San Francisco Bay Area Rainwater [PDF]
We have observed fallout from the recent Fukushima Dai-ichi reactor accident in samples of rainwater collected in the San Francisco Bay area. Gamma ray spectra measured from these samples show clear evidence of fission products - 131,132I, 132Te, and 134,

Local treatment failure after globe-conserving therapy for choroidal melanoma. [PDF]
Local treatment failure after globe-conserving therapy for choroidal melanoma is a surgical complication with significant morbidity to the vision and eye. Few reports in the literature have addressed this complication exclusively.
