New developments in the experimental data for charged particle production of medical radioisotopes [PDF]

, 2015
The goal of the present work is to give a review of developments achieved experimentally in the field of nuclear data for medically important radioisotopes in the last three years. The availability and precision of production related nuclear data is continuously improved mainly experimentally. This review emphasizes a couple of larger fields: the Mo/Tc

Hair radioactivity as a measure of exposure to radioisotopes [PDF]

, 1972
Since many radioisotopes accumulate in hair, this tropism was investigated by comparing the radioactivity of shaved with plucked hair collected from rats at various time intervals up to 24 hrs after intravenous injection of the ecologically important ...

Review of the anatomical basis for predicting plutonium alpha particle radiation induced osteogenic cancers

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.

Morphology and paleoecology of a hybodontiform with serrated teeth, Priohybodus arambourgi, from the Late Jurassic of northeastern Brazil

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hybodontiformes was a diverse, successful, and important group of shark‐like chondrichthyans known from a variety of ecosystems. Some representatives of the order had a wide palaeogeographic distribution, as is the case with Priohybodus arambourgi. With a multicuspidate crown, P. arambourgi was the first hybodontiform to develop fully serrated

An FPGA Implementation of Convolutional Spiking Neural Networks for Radioisotope Identification [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
This paper details the FPGA implementation methodology for Convolutional Spiking Neural Networks (CSNN) and applies this methodology to low-power radioisotope identification using high-resolution data. Power consumption of 75 mW has been achieved on an FPGA implementation of a CSNN, with an inference accuracy of 90.62% on a synthetic dataset.

Long-range Rydberg-Rydberg interactions in calcium, strontium and ytterbium [PDF]

J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 45 (2012) 135004, 2012
Long-range dipole-dipole and quadrupole-quadrupole interactions between pairs of Rydberg atoms are calculated perturbatively for calcium, strontium and ytterbium within the Coulomb approximation. Quantum defects, obtained by fitting existing laser spectroscopic data, are provided for all $S$, $P$, $D$ and $F$ series of strontium and for the $^3P_2 ...
