Background And Purpose: Medulloblastoma (MB) is a common primary brain cancer in children. Proton therapy in pediatric MB is intensively studied and widely adopted. Compared to photon, proton radiations offer potential for reduced toxicity due to the characteristic Bragg Peak at the end of their path in tissue.

To test the applicability of self-powered detectors (SPDs) for radiation monitoring in fusion reactor blankets, several irradiation tests have been undertaken with the ad hoc designed Cr-SPD, which presents the novelty of using chromium as the emitter material. This detector was exposed to an intense Co gamma-ray source, and to the 14 MeV neutrons produced by the D-T fusion reaction. Detailed analyses of the measured signals have been done here using a Monte Carlo modeling technique.

is an aquatic quillwort endemic to Italy. It is one of the rarest quillworts in Europe, and is critically endangered due to restricted range and to the continuous decline of both population and habitat quality. This study aims to develop an optimized protocol to reproduce and grow sporelings.

Hydrogen retention in Pd-Ag (silver 21 wt. %) thin foil has been tested by means of temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) in the temperature range 25-200 °C and compared to the resistivity measurements for the purpose of explaining the characteristic S-shaped resistivity curve and its minimum observed in the same temperature range. The TPD results indicated that the highest uptake of hydrogen was between 65 °C and 105 °C, with a maximum at ~85 °C.

The applications of Terahertz (THz) technologies have significantly developed in recent years, and the complete understanding of the biological effects of exposure to THz radiation is becoming increasingly important. In a previous study, we found that THz radiation induced genomic damage in fetal fibroblasts. Although these cells demonstrated to be a useful model, exposure of human foetuses to THz radiation is highly improbable.
