Opium trade and use during the Late Bronze Age: Organic residue analysis of ceramic vessels from the burials of Tel Yehud, Israel

Archaeometry, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Organic residue analysis was conducted on various vessels from burials at Tel Yehud, Israel. The analyses led to new reliable evidence for the presence of opioid alkaloids and their decomposition products. This research revitalizes a decades‐old discussion on the presence and function of the opium trade across a cultural region of utmost ...

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 ...

Ultrasound‐assisted recirculation extraction as an innovative approach for obtaining bioactive compounds from grape pomace

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Grape pomace, a by‐product generated during winemaking, still retains bioactive compounds with potential applications in the food, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors. This work investigated ultrasound‐assisted extraction (UAE) coupled with a recirculation system as a strategy to improve their recovery.

Scintillation neutron detectors [PDF]

, 1984
Two basic types of scintillation area neutron detectors are reviewed. The first is the prompt detector which uses photomultipliers to convert the neutron scintillations to electrical pulses. These signals are combined in weighting or encoding circuits to

Intercomparison of carbon‐13 and carbon‐14 tracer approaches for estimating marine calcification and net primary production

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate measurements of phytoplankton net primary production (NPP) and calcification are essential for quantifying marine carbon cycling, yet in situ calcification rates remain poorly constrained. We compared 13C‐ and 14C‐based tracer methods for NPP in laboratory cultures of the diatom Chaetoceros tenuissimus and the coccolithophore ...
