Since 2000 the software coincidence counting (SCC) system has been used for activity standardisation of about 15 radionuclides. Their activities were determined by the efficiency extrapolation method applied to 4π (PC)-γ coincidence. Some standardisations, mainly standardisations of EC-β(+) radionuclides, required optimal setting of coincidence parameters, for which new procedures based on "the coincidence to total PC count ratios", "a multiple gamma window combined from subwindows fractions" and "a source test for PC detection efficiency " were introduced. The paper summarises the development of SCC system related to findings from detailed analyses of recorded data. These findings are not practically achievable by a conventional approach.

This paper examines the quantitative structure-inhibitory activity relationship of 15-lipoxygenase (15-LOX) in sets of 100 homo- and heterocyclic compounds using GUSAR 2019 software. Statistically significant valid models were built to predict the IC50 parameter. A combination of MNA and QNA descriptors with three whole molecular descriptors (topological length, topological volume and lipophilicity) was used to develop 18 statistically significant, valid consensus QSAR models.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on measuring beam alignment in medical linear accelerators, emphasizing the importance of analyzing focal spot positions to ensure accurate radiation delivery.
- The newly developed Quality Control Tool (QCT) device facilitates simultaneous tests of light/radiation field coincidence and isocenter testing, enabling effective analysis of focal spots with specific software.
- Results show that focal spot position varies with gantry angle, showcasing the QCT's capacity to accurately measure displacements and assess beam alignment without interference from the jaw collimator.
A Construction of Optimal One-Coincidence Frequency-Hopping Sequences via Generalized Cyclotomy.

Frequency-hopping sequences (FHSs) with low Hamming correlation are essential for synchronization and multiple-access communication systems. In this paper, we propose a novel construction of FHSs using generalized cyclotomy. Our results reveal that the constructed FHSs exhibit a one-coincidence property, meaning that the smallest correlation between different FHSs, aside from the trivial case, is minimized.

a previous study reported nanodosimetric measurements of therapeutic-energy carbon ions penetrating simulated tissue. The results are incompatible with the predicted mean energy of the carbon ions in the nanodosimeter and previous experiments with lower energy monoenergetic beams. The purpose of this study is to explore the origin of these discrepancies.

Although Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Acupuncture (PRISMA-A) checklists had been in use for several years, compliance rate was still not optimistic. We investigated the quality of reporting for meta-analyses of acupuncture published in PubMed. We compared the compliance rate for the quality of reporting following the publication of both the PRISMA and PRISMA-A recommendations.
