Abstract Pediatric oncology drug development remains uniquely challenging due to the rarity and biological heterogeneity of childhood cancers, ethical considerations in trial conduct, and the limited feasibility of large, randomized studies. Despite these barriers, recent years have seen a notable acceleration in the approval of oncology therapies for ...

Abstract Rapid urbanization in tropical sub‐Saharan Africa intensifies the thermo‐pollution nexus, the interplay between land surface temperature (LST) and aerosol pollution (AOD), with implications for environmental health and sustainability. This study examines the spatiotemporal dynamics and statistical interactions between AOD and LST in the Lagos ...

Beyond one million years: The intrinsic radiation hazard of high-level nuclear wastes
This paper highlights the absence of quantitative estimates regarding the intrinsic radiation hazard of high-level nuclear wastes, namely, spent fuel (SF) and vitrified high-level wastes (VHLW), for periods exceeding one million years.

Gepta‐EX: a multi‐channel germanium detector for X‐ray absorption fine structure
Gepta‐EX is a compact seven‐channel high‐purity germanium detector designed to deliver high‐resolution fluorescence X‐ray absorption fine‐structure measurements at photon energies where silicon detectors become effectively transparent. It provides excellent energy resolution across a broad energy range, avoids silicon escape‐peak artifacts, and offers ...
