Effect of Air on Direct Measurement of Tritium in Proportional Counter
In order to realize the direct and continuous measurement of tritium concentration in air at low levels, it is necessary to study the effect of air on the measurement after its direct introduction into the proportional counter.

Calibration of the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer Proportional Counter Array [PDF]
We present the calibration and background model for the Proportional Counter Array on board the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer. The energy calibration is systematics-limited below 10 keV, with deviations from a power-law fit to the Crab Nebula plus pulsar ...

Design of a Rise Time Discrimination Circuit for X-ray Proportional Counter [PDF]
It is possible to distinguish X-rat events from non X-ray events in proportional counters using the method of rise time discrimination (RTD). In order to subtract non X-ray background, we have developed a simple RTD circuit which will be applied to the ...

Parent‐to‐Child Information Disclosure in Pediatric Oncology
ABSTRACT Background Despite professional consensus regarding the importance of open communication with pediatric cancer patients about their disease, actual practice patterns of disclosure are understudied. Extant literature suggests a significant proportion of children are not told about their diagnosis/prognosis, which is purported to negatively ...

Pathogenic Germline PALB2 and RAD50 Variants in Patients With Relapsed Ewing Sarcoma
ABSTRACT Approximately 10% of patients with Ewing sarcoma (EwS) have pathogenic germline variants. Here, we report two cases: first, a novel germline pathogenic variant in partner and localizer of BRCA2 (PALB2) in a patient with a late EwS relapse. Its impact on homologous recombination is demonstrated, and breast cancer risk is discussed.
