The 2018 release of the Evaluated Nuclear Data File (ENDF)/B-VIII.0 library initiated several examinations of the impact of the revised nuclear data on Monte Carlo models. This study used version 6.2 of the Monte Carlo N-Particle® code (MCNP6.2) with the ENDF/B-VI and ENDF/B-VIII.0 libraries to compute conversion coefficients for fluence-to-ambient and fluence-to-personal dose equivalent from neutron energy groups described by an International Atomic Energy Agency 53-bin structure and 47 monoenergetic neutron sources listed in International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) 74. The MCNP6.2 models with ENDF/B-VI data were validated against results published in 2005 by Veinot and Hertel. Conversion coefficients computed with MCNP6.2 and ENDF/B-VIII.0 slightly underestimated the ICRP 74 values but were within ICRP-specified tolerances and do not justify revising the ICRP coefficients. Conversion coefficients for personal dose equivalent were computed with MCNP6.2 and ENDF/B-VIII.0 at four angles of incidence greater than those available in ICRP 74. These new coefficients are relevant to radiation protection studies of interest to US defence-focused organisations.

Background: The climate crisis and depleting fossil fuel reserves have led to a drive for 'green' alternatives to the way we manufacture chemicals, and the formation of a bioeconomy that reduces our reliance on petrochemical-based feedstocks. Advances in Synthetic biology have provided the opportunity to engineer micro-organisms to produce compounds from renewable feedstocks, which could play a role in replacing traditional, petrochemical based, manufacturing routes. However, there are few examples of bio-manufactured products achieving commercialisation.

Neural-electronic interfaces through delivering electroceuticals to lesions and modulating pathological endogenous electrical environments offer exciting opportunities to treat drug-refractory neurological disorders. Such an interface should ideally be compatible with the neural tissue and aggressive biofluid environment. Unfortunately, no interface specifically designed for the biofluid environments is available so far; instead, simply stacking an encapsulation layer on silicon-based substrates makes them susceptible to biofluid leakage, device malfunction, and foreign-body reactions.

Wetlands are a crucial component of the earth's socio-ecological structure, providing significant ecosystem services to people. Changes in wetlands, driven by both natural and manmade causes, are altering these ecosystem services. Although Bangladesh is developing, natural resources like wetlands are changing in the country at different scales, with urban areas experiencing significant impacts.

Measuring the consumption of processed foods made from a common raw agricultural ingredient requires to make quantities comparable, by converting them in raw product equivalent. This conversion also allows to compute total quantities. In the case of legumes, the challenge is to take into account a wide diversity of final products including packaged dry legumes, processed legumes and products cooked from legumes and other ingredients.

Although the use of ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diode backlight with red, green, and blue color-conversion layers (CCLs) in displays simplifies the manufacturing process and improves display uniformity, research on blue CCLs remains limited and has been mostly reported in the sky-blue region (> 470 nm), which is insufficient to satisfy the Rec. 2020 color standard. As halide perovskites offer a high extinction coefficient, color purity, and photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), they become highly competitive color-converting materials for CCLs.
