A thorough experimental assessment of THz-TDS plasma diagnostic techniques for nuclear fusion applications.

In this paper, the study of a plasma diagnostic system based on the THz time domain spectroscopy technique is presented. Such a system could potentially probe a large part of the electromagnetic spectrum currently covered by several other diagnostics in a single measurement. This feature, keeping in mind the basic requirements for plasma diagnostics in nuclear fusion experiments, such as robustness and hard environment applicability, as well as durability and low maintenance, makes the diagnostic of great interest.

Exploring uranium bioaccumulation in the brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum: insights from multi-scale spectroscopy and imaging.

Legacy radioactive waste can be defined as the radioactive waste produced during the infancy of the civil nuclear industry's development in the mid-20th Century, a time when, unfortunately, waste storage and treatment were not well planned. The marine environment is one of the environmental compartments worth studying in this regard because of legacy waste in specific locations of the seabed. Comprising nearly 70% of the earth's service, the oceans are the largest and indeed the final destination for contaminated fresh waters.

Comparison of two immunohistochemical staining protocols for ALK demonstrates non-inferiority of a 5A4 clone-based protocol versus an ALK01 clone-based protocol for the diagnosis of ALK + anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

Detection of ALK rearrangement and/or expression of the ALK protein is an essential component in the evaluation of many neoplasms. Variability has been reported in the ability of different antibody clones to detect ALK expression. The ALK01 clone is commonly used to detect ALK expression in ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALK + ALCL).

A model for preservation of thymocyte-depleted thymus.

DiGeorge syndrome is a disorder caused by a microdeletion on the long arm of chromosome 22. Approximately 1% of patients diagnosed with DiGeorge syndrome may have an absence of a functional thymus, which characterizes the complete form of the syndrome. These patients require urgent treatment to reconstitute T cell immunity.
