Efficiency of gratings for silica fiber-coupled internal Smith-Purcell radiation and Cherenkov diffraction radiation -- a quantitative numerical study [PDF]
We propose a setup for measuring visible and near-visible internal Smith-Purcell radiation and Cherenkov Diffraction Radiation, based on silica and silicon, and perform quantitative numerical analysis of its radiation efficiency. We calculate the total radiated energy per electron and the spectral distribution of different radiation orders, taking into

Compact gamma detector module for radiation monitoring [PDF]
Modern unmanned technologies make it possible to implement them in almost all industries, including radiation monitoring. Already in 2011, at the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, the first drones were demonstrated to measure the radiation background of the territories. Improvement of such devices is one of the topical directions.

Using ACIS on the Chandra X-ray Observatory as a particle radiation monitor II [PDF]
The Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer is an instrument on the Chandra X-ray Observatory. CCDs are vulnerable to radiation damage, particularly by soft protons in the radiation belts and solar storms. The Chandra team has implemented procedures to protect ACIS during high-radiation events including autonomous protection triggered by an on-board ...

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

Methodology For the Evaluation of Critical Components of the Scatterable Radiation Monitor Under Radiation Fields [PDF]
One of the persisting challenges associated with the peaceful use of the atom is monitoring the subsequent radiation. For example, nuclear power plants need environmental monitoring to ensure public trust. While this may be conducted by the frequent monitoring of low-cost thermoluminescent dosimeters placed in concentric rings around the plant, there ...
