Thorium Energy Futures [PDF]

, 2012
The potential for thorium as an alternative or supplement to uranium in fission power generation has long been recognised, and several reactors, of various types, have already operated using thorium-based fuels.

Performance of a 229 Thorium solid-state nuclear clock

, 2012
The 7.8 eV nuclear isomer transition in 229 Thorium has been suggested as an etalon transition in a new type of optical frequency standard. Here we discuss the construction of a "solid-state nuclear clock" from Thorium nuclei implanted into single ...

Reduced vascular leakage correlates with breast carcinoma T regulatory cell infiltration but not with metastatic propensity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
A mouse model for vascular normalization and a human breast cancer cohort were studied to understand the relationship between vascular leakage and tumor immune suppression. For this, endothelial and immune cell RNAseq, staining for vascular function, and immune cell profiling were employed.

Theoretical Predictions for the Equation of State of Metal Nickel at Extreme Conditions

Metals
A recently developed approach to the partition function with very high efficiency was applied to study the equation of state (EOS) of metal nickel (Ni) up to 3000 K and concurrently 500 GPa.

Preliminary Study of Development of the Organization of Rare-Earth Exportation Countries (OREEC)

Journal of Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems, 2013
The largest two sectors emitting CO2 in the world are electricity generation and land-transportation. Therefore, nuclear power plays an important role in generating electricity with low CO2 emission.

Electrochemical behaviour of thorium(IV) in molten LiF–CaF2 medium on inert and reactive electrodes [PDF]

, 2010
The electrochemicalbehaviour of the Th(IV)/Th system was examined in moltenLiF–CaF2medium on inert (molybdenum), reactive (nickel) and liquid (bismuth) electrodes in the 810–920 °C temperature range by several electrochemical techniques.

Monitoring of circulating tumor DNA allows early detection of disease relapse in patients with operable breast cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Monitoring circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients with operable breast cancer can reveal disease relapse earlier than radiology in a subset of patients. The failure to detect ctDNA in some patients with recurrent disease suggests that ctDNA could serve as a supplement to other monitoring approaches.
