A Model of Nuclear Recoil Scintillation Efficiency in Noble Liquids [PDF]
Scintillation efficiency of low-energy nuclear recoils in noble liquids plays a crucial role in interpreting results from some direct searches for Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) dark matter. However, the cause of a reduced scintillation efficiency relative to electronic recoils in noble liquids remains unclear at the moment.

A Python package for fast GPU‐based proton pencil beam dose calculation
Abstract Purpose Open‐source GPU‐based Monte Carlo (MC) proton dose calculation algorithms provide high speed and unparalleled accuracy but can be complex to integrate with new applications and remain slower than GPU‐based pencil beam (PB) methods, which sacrifice some physical accuracy for sub‐second plan calculation.

ZEL‐H16 (1) has been disclosed to be a high‐affinity non‐imidazole H3R (partial) agonist. However, it was found that 1 acts as an inverse agonist for Gαi in various assays. Concise structure–activity relationship studies, molecular pharmacology, and docking were used to shed more light on the properties of 1.

New perspectives for neutron imaging through advanced event-mode data acquisition
Imaging using scintillators is a widespread and cost-effective approach in radiography. While different types of scintillator and sensor configurations exist, it can be stated that the detection efficiency and resolution of a scintillator-based system ...

The paper explores the creation and characterization of vesicles through biocatalytic Polymerization‐Induced Self‐Assembly (bioPISA), focusing on achieving size uniformity using centrifugation techniques. It examines the effects of stirring speed on vesicle morphology and analyses the internal polymer‐rich structure using fluorescence correlation ...

Luminescence and scintillation properties of CsI: A potential cryogenic scintillator [PDF]
Caesium iodide is one of the most extensively studied scintillators. Here, we present X‐ray luminescence spectra, scintillation light output and decay curves as a function of temperature, from room temperature down to below 10 K. Features of the observed intrinsic luminescence are explained in terms of radiative recombination of on‐ and off‐center STE.

Effects of cholestatic drugs towards hepatic canalicular and sinusoidal secretion of bile acids were investigated using a biphasic functional assay in human hepatoma HepaRG cells. After an initial loading phase with taurocholate, cells were re‐incubated in taurocholate‐free medium (efflux phase), with or without calcium (for modulating the opening of ...
