Scintillation screens are widely used to diagnose high-charge density, low-average current electron beams from laser wakefield accelerators (LWFAs). However, the absolute response between emitted photons and electron charge has only been calibrated at a limited number of facilities, and there have been discrepancies between these calibrations. In this report, we comprehensively revised the absolute charge calibration of two high relative brightness scintillating screens of LANEX Regular (Carestream) and PI200 (Mitsubishi) by employing the high-brightness photoinjector at the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC), which provides electron beams with variable charges (50-350 pC per pulse) and energies (26.

Obesity is a major health concern associated to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Brown adipocytes, which specialise in thermogenesis, offer a potential therapeutic target for obesity prevention and related conditions. This study builds on previous findings of the browning activity of Averrhoa bilimbi hexane fractions and aims to elucidate the underlying mechanisms in vitro.

Emotion regulation is a topic of growing interest in the field of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Despite the field's concentrated efforts in this area, the research has not matched advancements in the general emotion regulation literature, which have proposed more holistic models to understanding to how individuals identify and respond to emotions. In looking at emotion regulation in PTSD, this paper reviews the current state of the literature using the Extended Process Model proposed by Gross (2015).

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC), which is a type of skin cancer that can recur and spread more aggressively in some cases, making it important to monitor survival rates for better patient care and health strategies.
  • - Conducted using data from the National Cancer Institute's SEER database, the research analyzed information on 204,055 patients diagnosed with CSCC over two decades, from 2000 to 2019.
  • - The researchers assessed patient trends and relative survival rates using a period analysis method to gain insights into the outcomes for people diagnosed with CSCC.

Article Synopsis
  • The study utilized hyperthermal hydrogen-induced cross-linking (HHIC) technology to create a densely cross-linked antibacterial layer of chitosan quaternary ammonium salt (HTCC) on the surface of polyethylene (PE).
  • Prior to HHIC treatment, UV-Ozone was employed to enhance the PE surface for better HTCC adhesion, confirmed by FT-IR and XPS analyses.
  • The resulting PE-c-HTCC film showed improved surface roughness, significantly reduced water and oxygen permeability, and demonstrated strong antibacterial effectiveness against E. coli and S. aureus, extending the shelf life of fresh beef by two days.
