Piles of piles: An inter-country comparison of nuclear pile development during World War II [PDF]
, 2020 Between the time of the discovery of nuclear fission in early 1939 and the end of 1946, approximately 90 nuclear piles were constructed in six countries. These devices ranged from simple graphite columns containing neutron sources but no uranium to others as complex as the water-cooled 250-megawatt plutonium production reactors built at Hanford ...

Nuclear History, Politics, and Futures from (A)toms-to(Z)oom: Design and Deployment of a Remote-Learning Special-Topics Course For Nuclear Engineering Education [PDF]
, 2021 To address the lack of familiarity with nuclear history common among nuclear engineers and physicists, we outline the design and deployment of a special-topics course entitled "NE290: Nuclear History, Politics, and Futures" across which we contextualize the importance of the field at its inception, in current affairs, and in future endeavors.

FoxO1 signaling in B cell malignancies and its therapeutic targeting
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.FoxO1 has context‐specific tumor suppressor or oncogenic character in myeloid and B cell malignancies. This includes tumor‐promoting properties such as stemness maintenance and DNA damage tolerance in acute leukemias, or regulation of cell proliferation and survival, or migration in mature B cell malignancies.

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.

Potential Implications of the Russia–Ukraine War for Northeast Asia
Journal for Peace and Nuclear Disarmament, 2023 The Russia–Ukraine war has caused decision-makers worldwide to acknowledge the thinkability (plausibility) of limited nuclear war. It has probably reduced any confidence China may have about being able easily and quickly to invade Taiwan.
