Independent verification of vendor-issued dosimetric data for ¹⁰⁶Ru brachytherapy using diode detectors with traceability to external beam standards for absorbed dose to water. [PDF]

Med Phys
Abstract Background Independent verification of the manufacturer‐provided dosimetry data for 106Ru ophthalmic brachytherapy applicators is crucial for safe and accurate treatment, yet a standardized, traceable method for clinical absolute dosimetry has been lacking. Purpose This work establishes a complete framework for traceable absorbed dose to water

MetaLigand provides a prior-knowledge-guided framework for predicting non-peptide ligand mediated cell-cell communication [PDF]

Cell Reports: Methods
Summary: Non-peptide ligands (NPLs), including lipids, amino acids, carbohydrates, and non-peptide neurotransmitters and hormones, play a critical role in ligand-receptor-mediated cell-cell communication, driving diverse physiological and pathological ...

Remote Measurements of Industrial CO₂ Emissions Using a Ground-Based Differential Absorption Lidar in the 2 µm Wavelength Region

Remote Sensing, 2023
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a known greenhouse gas and one of the largest contributors to global warming in the Earth’s atmosphere. The remote detection and measurement of CO2 from industrial emissions are not routinely carried out and are typically ...

Comparing ultrastable lasers at 7 × 10−17 fractional frequency instability through a 2220 km optical fibre network

Nature Communications, 2022
Precision measurement plays an important role in frequency metrology and optical communications. Here the authors compare two geographically separate ultrastable lasers at 7 × 10−17 fractional frequency instability over a 2220 km optical fibre link and ...

Towards an Ultra-High-Speed Combustion Pyrometer

International Journal of Turbomachinery, Propulsion and Power, 2020
Measuring reliably the correct temperature of a sooty flame in an internal combustion engine is important to optimise its efficiency; however, conventional contact thermometers, such as thermocouples, are not adequate in this context, due to drift ...

Monetary and Macroprudential Policy and Welfare in an Estimated Four‐Agent New Keynesian Model

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract We examine the social and agent‐specific welfare effects of monetary and macroprudential policy in a four‐agent estimated macro‐economic model comprising “banked simple households,” “underbanked simple households,” “firm owners,” and “bank owners.” Optimal capital requirement and loan loss provisions ratios improve all agent‐specific and ...
