The cross sections for the reactions (89)Y(n, 2n) (88m+g)Y and (89)Y(n, alpha) (86m+g)RB induced by 14MeV neutrons have been measured using the activation technique and a coaxial HPGe gamma-ray detector. Spectroscopically pure Y(2)O(3) powder was used. Fast neutrons were produced by the T(d, n) (4)He reaction. The neutron fluencies were determined using the monitor reaction (93)Nb(n, 2n) (92m)Nb.

This study examines the impact of the Westcott g-factor on the concentration of elements like In, Ir, Re, Yb, Eu and Lu, measured using neutron capture reactions (n,γ), specifically focusing on those reactions, whose thermal neutron capture cross-sections (σ ) deviate from the conventional '1/v' behaviour. These measurements are quantified using k₀-based neutron activation analysis. The Westcott g-factor for the non-1/v nuclides was calculated using the characterized neutron temperature (T) at PFTS irradiation channel of KAMINI reactor.

Most conventional methods used to measure protein melting temperatures reflect changes in structure between different conformational states and are typically fit to a two-state model. Population abundances of distinct conformations were measured using variable-temperature electrospray ionization ion mobility mass spectrometry to investigate the thermally induced unfolding of the model protein cytochrome . Nineteen conformers formed at high temperature have elongated structures, consistent with unfolded forms of this protein.

A new type of fully polarimetric retrodirective array (RDA) using a PON-type structure is proposed in this paper. The fully polarimetric property is the result of the proposed phase conjugation circuits, which perform phase conjugation processing on the x, y, and z polarization electric field components of the incident wave when combined with a tri-polarized antenna array. It enables the retrodirective array to receive and retransmit an arbitrary polarized incident wave.

Background/objectives: Evidence suggests nasal airflow resistance reduces after rapid maxillary expansion (RME). However, the medium-term effects of RME on upper airway (UA) airflow characteristics when normal craniofacial development is considered are still unclear. This retrospective cohort study used computer fluid dynamics (CFD) to evaluate the medium-term changes in the UA airflow (pressure and velocity) after RME in two distinct age-based cohorts.

Introduction: The objective of this study is to analyze the morphology and measurement dimensions of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) based on computed tomography images.
Methods: The present study retrospectively evaluated computed tomography angiography data from 25 client-owned dogs diagnosed with PDA. PDA was reconstructed based on the central axis and the minimum diameter, ampulla diameter, angle, ampulla cross-section area, and length values were measured at specific measurement sites.
