Extruded Plastic Scintillation Detectors

, 1999
As a way to lower the cost of plastic scintillation detectors, commercially available polystyrene pellets have been used in the production of scintillating materials that can be extruded into different profiles. The selection of raw materials is discussed.

Design, Synthesis, and Photophysical Studies of Functionalized Polyaromatic Isonitriles as Visible Light Photoredox Catalysts

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
A new series of structurally rich polyaromatic isonitriles is presented as photoredox catalysts. Their photophysical properties are investigated by UV–Vis absorption and fluorescence measurements, combined with experimental and theoretical studies to evaluate both ground‐ and excited‐state redox properties.

Effect of Ammonium Polyphosphate/Silicate Content on the Postfire Mechanics of Epoxy Glass‐Fiber Composites Using Facile Chocolate Bar‐Inspired Structures

Fire and Materials, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 329-346, April 2025.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the postfire mechanical properties of epoxy glass‐fiber reinforced composites (EP GFRCs) using increasing concentrations of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and inorganic silicate (InSi) to modify the char and fire residue.

Wonder as a Gateway to Science Meaning‐Making: Primary Pupils’ Narrative Journeys

Future in Educational Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores how wonder fosters transformative learning in science education for pupils (11–12 years old), creating meaning about cycles in nature. As an emotional and epistemic trigger, wonder may bridge everyday experiences with abstract scientific concepts by stimulating curiosity and creativity. Through a narrative writing task, the

Hypervision Proton Surgery: The Future Direction of Proton Therapy

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proton beams provide unique physical advantages characterized by a low entrance dose, negligible exit dose, and a sharp Bragg peak, which enable superior sparing of normal tissues and support safe dose escalation for improved tumor control. However, conventional photon‐based fractionation remains widely used in proton therapy, where prolonged ...

The Non‐Professional Virtues of the Hospice Volunteer

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Volunteers have long played a significant role in hospice care. Much of the care volunteers provide consists of weekly hour‐long in‐home visits. Home‐visiting hospice volunteers are not professionals, nor are they strangers or intimates. Hospice volunteers will not typically face moral dilemmas, nor be called upon to make dramatic decisions ...

Coccolithophore particulate inorganic and organic carbon ratios: An evaluation of acid decalcification methods

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate direct measurements of coccolithophore particulate inorganic and organic carbon ratios (PIC/POC) are crucial for understanding the physiology and role these microbes play in global ocean carbon flux. Direct measurements of POC are commonly obtained by acid fuming or applying acid directly to filters to dissolve PIC (CaCO3) prior to CN

Efficient First‐Principles Inverse Design of Nanolasers

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This article introduces a first‐principles inverse‐design framework for nanolasers that directly incorporates nonlinear lasing physics. By unifying steady‐state ab‐initio laser theory (SALT) with topology optimization, it reveals how spatial hole burning, gain saturation, and cavity‐emitter coupling shape laser performance, enabling efficient discovery
