(60)Co sources ( approximately 37 kBq) in the form of a thin film are widely used in position identification of perforation in offshore oil-well explorations. This paper describes the large-scale preparation of such sources using a radioactive polymer containing (60)Co. (60)Co was extracted into chloroform containing 8-hydroxyquinoline. The chloroform layer was mixed with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) polymer. A large film was prepared using the polymer solution containing the complex. The polymer film was then cut into circular sources, mounted on a source holder and supplied to various users.

Lineage tracing based on modern live imaging approaches enables to visualize, reconstruct, and analyze the developmental history, fate, and dynamic behaviors of cells in vivo in a direct, comprehensive, and quantitative manner. Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) has greatly boosted lineage tracing efforts, because fluorescently labeled specimens can be imaged in their entirety, over long periods of time, with high spatiotemporal resolution and minimal photodamage. In addition, an increasing arsenal of commercial and open-source software solutions for cell and nuclei segmentation and tracking can be employed to convert data from pixel-based to object-based representations, and to reconstruct the lineages of cells in their native context as they organize in tissues, organs, and whole organisms.

Metal chalcogenides have been extensively studied for thermoelectric applications. Among other metal chalcogenides, silver selenide (AgSe) is considered one of the most promising n-type semiconducting materials for thermoelectric applications due to its low band gap value, Seebeck coefficient, and superior power factor (PF) rendered at room temperature. However, one of the main drawbacks of using AgSe as a thermoelectric material on a large scale is the time-consuming physical methods to obtain them, and the need for high vacuum synthesis conditions as well as high-cost.

Rationale: The performance of the capillary column directly impacts the separation efficiency of complex sample in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based proteomics studies. The hydraulic packing system offers an effective solution by reducing packing time and expediting the preparation process of column preparation. However, its operational complexity and strict parameter regulation requirements hinder efficient application.

Nanoporous metals have unique potentials for energy applications with a high surface area despite the percolating structure. Yet, a highly corrosive environment is required for the synthesis of porous metals with conventional dealloying methods, limiting the large-scale fabrication of porous structures for reactive metals. In this study, we synthesize a highly reactive Mg nanoporous system through a facile organic solution-based approach without any harsh etching.
