Cross sections for production of the medical isotope Ac by the Ra(p,2n) reaction have not previously been measured in fine steps over the relevant energy region, and no measurements are presently available in the literature for the actinium contaminant isotopes created by the adjacent Ra(p,n)Ac and Ra(p,3n)Ac reactions. We report thin-target cross-section measurements for production of Ac and Ac by protons of 15.1-16.8 MeV incident on radium. An upper limit for the Ac cross section is also reported.

Background/objectives: Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are exogenous substances that interfere with hormone regulation, leading to adverse health outcomes. Despite the wide use of EDCs in daily products like plastics, personal care items, and food packaging, public awareness remains low. Pregnant women and new mothers are particularly vulnerable, as exposure to EDCs during early life stages can have long-term health impacts.

Tacrine is a centrally active non-competitive reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. It also exerts antagonising activity against -methyl-D-aspartate receptors. Tacrine was approved for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease in 1993, but was withdrawn from clinical use in 2013 because of its hepatotoxicity and gastrointestinal side effects.

This paper constructs a numerical simulation model for the deformation of droplets in a variable cross-section groove of a liquid droplet MEMS switch under different directions, amplitudes, frequencies, and waveforms of acceleration. The numerical simulation utilizes the level set method to monitor the deformation surface boundary of the metal droplets. The simulation outcomes manifest that when the negative impact acceleration on the -axis is 12.

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.
