Four different combinations of 9644Ru and 9640Zr nuclei, both as projectile and target, were investigated at the same bombarding energy of 400A MeV using a 4pi detector. The degree of isospin mixing between projectile and target nucleons is mapped across a large portion of the phase space using two different isospin-tracer observables, the number of measured protons and the tritium to 3He yield ratio. The experimental results show that the global equilibrium is not reached even in the most central collisions. Quantitative measures of stopping and mixing are extracted from the data. They are found to exhibit a quite strong sensitivity to the in-medium ( n,n) cross section used in microscopic transport calculations.

Theoretical investigations were carried out for the production of the medically important Zr radionuclide. This radionuclide is produced in the interaction of a proton projectile with Y-target, a readily available target with greater purity at ≈ 5-60 MeV. The Y (p, n)Zr production route, a promising avenue in the fields of medical imaging and radiopharmaceutical development, is of significant interest due to its potential to produce Zr, a radionuclide with a half-life of 78.

Study on the Suitability of Concrete Constitutive Models for Perforation Simulation.

Materials (Basel)

November 2024

State Key Laboratory of Explosion Science and Technology, Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing 100081, China.

The choice of constitutive model significantly affects the accuracy of concrete perforation simulation. This study analyzes four concrete constitutive models, HJC, RHT, KCC, and TCK, focusing on their strength models, damage evolution, and strain rate effects. Combining the damage pattern and erosion cracks, the effectiveness of the four constitutive models in simulating the penetration of reinforced concrete targets is evaluated using LS-DYNA 11.

The electron-impact ionization of water molecules at low impact energies is investigated using a theoretical approach named M3CWZ. In this model, which considers exchange effects and post-collision interaction, the continuum electrons (incident, scattered, and ejected) are all described by a Coulomb wave that corresponds to distance-dependent charges generated from the molecular target properties. Triple differential cross-sections for low impact energy ionization of either the 1b1 or 3a1 orbitals are calculated for several geometrical and kinematical configurations, all in the dipole regime.

Background: Advisability of magnets in neurotrauma is due to pattern of patients admitted to neurosurgical departments of military hospitals with wounds accompanied by intracranial fixation of foreign metallic ferromagnetic bodies.

Objective: To study dimensions, mass and magnetic properties of fragments extracted from gunshot wounds inflicted by modern weapons; to assess the feasibility of devices and instruments for removing foreign bodies.

Material And Methods: We analyzed foreign bodies extracted after gunshot wounds.
