Antimicrobial Titanium–Copper Alloys: The Role of Microstructure in Arc‐Melted Compositions

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Copper‐containing titanium alloys show promise in combating orthopedic implant infections. This study explores the influence of heat treatment on Ti‐11.5Cu and Ti‐33Cu alloys, revealing that larger Ti2Cu precipitates (≈5 μm) enhance antimicrobial efficacy through increased surface contact. Results suggest contact sterilization is the primary mechanism,

Predicting Proton-Air Cross Sections at sqrt s ~30 TeV, using Accelerator and Cosmic Ray Data

, 1999
We use the high energy predictions of a QCD-inspired parameterization of all accelerator data on forward proton-proton and antiproton-proton scattering amplitudes, along with Glauber theory, to predict proton-air cross sections at energies near \sqrt s ...

The leading proton effect in proton-proton collisions

Nuclear Physics B, 1973
Abstract The p spectrum data in the range s = 28 to s = 1995 are described with the triple Regge formula. The behaviour of the various couplings at small | t | is explored. It is found that the non-scaling terms, at s ≅ 400 GeV 2 remove the turnover expected if the triple pomeron vanishes at t = 0.

Poly(1,4‐anthraquinone) as an Organic Electrode Material: Interplay of the Electronic and Structural Properties due to the Unusual Lone‐Pair‐π Conjugation

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.
In this study, the unique role of the unusual lone‐pair‐π conjugation mechanism in poly(1,4‐anthraquinone) (P14AQ) is explored as an organic electrode material. Unlike traditional π‐π interactions, P14AQ's conjugation involves lone pairs of oxygen atoms interacting with the π cloud of adjacent units, enabling stable charge transport even with minimal π‐

Removing Homocoupling Defects in Alkoxy/Alkyl‐PBTTT Enhances Polymer:Fullerene Co‐Crystal Formation and Stability

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
PBTTT‐OR‐R, a C14‐alkoxy/alkyl‐PBTTT polymer derivative, is of substantial interest for optoelectronics due to its specific fullerene intercalation behavior and enhanced charge‐transfer absorption. Comparing this polymer with (S) and without (O) homocoupling defects reveals that PBTTT‐OR‐R(O) forms stable co‐crystals with PC61BM, while PBTTT‐OR‐R(S ...

Improving total bone marrow and lymphoid irradiation: feasibility of intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) and dosimetric comparison with helical tomotherapy (HT)

Radiation Oncology
Background and purpose This study aims to develop and validate a novel whole-body intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) approach for total marrow/lymphatic irradiation (TMI/TMLI) and compare its efficacy to helical tomotherapy (HT).

Phase I/II trial evaluating concurrent carbon-ion radiotherapy plus chemotherapy for salvage treatment of locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Chinese Journal of Cancer, 2016
Background After definitive chemoradiotherapy for non-metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), more than 10% of patients will experience a local recurrence. Salvage treatments present significant challenges for locally recurrent NPC.

The Energy-Dependent Black-Disk Fraction in Proton-Proton Scattering

, 2018
Recent work by Block et al on the energy-invariant edge in proton-proton scattering is interpreted by quantitatively introducing a energy-dependent black-disk fraction of the proton-proton interaction.Comment: 7 pages, expanded version, including impact ...
