The FBX aqueous chemical dosimeter contains 0.2 mol m(-3) ferrous ammonium sulphate, 5.0 mol m(-3) benzoic acid and 0.20 mol m(-3) xylenol orange in 40.0 mol m(-3) sulphuric acid. The dosimeter can measure photon and electron doses in the range 0.1 to 3000 cGy in radiotherapy. The response of this dosimeter was measured for a 53.2 MeV carbon beam in the present work. Our initial result indicates that the sensitivity of the FBX system to the carbon beam as compared to cobalt-60 gamma rays is 25.5%, and thus we believe that the FBX system could be a useful dosimeter for carbon beams and similar heavy ions considered useful in radiotherapy.

High-level quantum chemical calculations are performed for the (NH)MO and (NH)MO species (M = Ti-Cu), extending our previous work on the bare MO ions. The potential energy curves along the M-O distance are constructed for the ground and multiple excited electronic states of (NH)MO and are compared to those of MO. We see that ammonia stabilizes the oxo states (MO) over the oxyl (MO) ones.

Context: This research investigates two critical areas, providing valuable insights into the properties and interactions of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs). Initially, a variety of BNNT structures (BNNT(m,n)_x, where m = 3, 5, 7; n = 0, 3, 5, 7; x = 3-9) with different lengths and diameters are explored to understand their electronic properties. The study then examines the interactions between these nanotubes and several gases (CO, CO, CSO, HO, NO, NO, NO, O, ONH, and SO) to identify the most stable molecular configurations using the bee colony algorithm for global optimization.

Microwave energy is based on creating heat in the structure by creating vibrations in the moisture in the product used. In drying processes, drying kinetics, energy consumption, quality, and so on features are evaluated based on the temperature equivalent of the heat created by the heat source in the product. For this reason, the temperature value formed in the product in microwave drying processes is important.

The low thermal conductivity, poor toughness, and non-reprocessability of thermosetting epoxy resins severely restrict their applications and sustainable development in flexible electronics. Herein, liquid crystalline epoxy (LCE) and dynamic ester and disulfide bonds are introduced into the cured network of bisphenol A epoxy resin (E-51) to construct highly thermally conductive flexible liquid crystalline epoxy resin (LCER) vitrimers. LCER vitrimers demonstrate adjustable mechanical properties by varying the ratio of LCE to E-51, allowing it to transition from soft to strong.

Adsorptive removal of the emerging organic pollutant perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) from contaminated water using biochar is a promising cost-effective approach. To determine the stability of PFOA adsorption on biochar, the thermodynamic analysis of the adsorption-desorption behavior is essential. This study comprehensively investigated the adsorption and desorption of PFOA on biochars derived from maple sawdust, peanut shells and corn stalks, pyrolyzed at peak temperatures of 400, 600 and 800 °C.
