The radionuclide pair (214)Bi and (214)Po which belongs to the uranium series interferes with airborne radionuclide measurement needed for the radiation management of a nuclear facility. Time intervals between (214)Bi (β) and (214)Po (α) are much shorter than artificial radionuclides due to the short half-life of (214)Po (164 μs). The purpose of this study is to develop of a new analytical method (time interval analysis: TIA) based on the beta-alpha coincidence method for selective measurement of (214)Bi-(214)Po. The developed method was applied to an actual dust-filter measurement. The TIA system was highly effective in measuring of the filter with background subtraction.

Amyloidosis encompasses a spectrum of rare disorders characterized by extracellular amyloid deposition. Achieving an accurate early diagnosis of systemic amyloidosis necessitates biopsy-specific pathological evaluation. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded liver biopsy specimens were examined using Congo red staining, electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence, and Congo red-assisted laser microdissection with mass spectrometry (LMD/MS).

Fissure sealant therapy (FST) is an effective preventive measure, yet parental acceptance remains low. This study aimed to identify predictors of parental FST behavior for children aged 6-12 years in Bandar Abbas, Iran, using the health belief model (HBM).

Artificial neural networks are limited in the number of patterns that they can store and accurately recall, with capacity constraints arising from factors such as network size, architectural structure, pattern sparsity, and pattern dissimilarity. Exceeding these limits leads to recall errors, eventually leading to catastrophic forgetting, which is a major challenge in continual learning. In this study, we characterize the theoretical maximum memory capacity of single-layer feedforward networks as a function of these parameters.

Glycosaminoglycan-based biohybrid hydrogels represent a powerful class of cell-instructive materials with proven potential in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Their biomedical functionality relies on a nanoscale polymer network that standard microscopy techniques cannot resolve. Here, we introduce an advanced analytical approach that integrates transmission electron microscopy, X-ray scattering, and computer simulations to directly and quantitatively characterize the nanoscale molecular network structure of these hydrogels.

The -acyl sulfonamide group is widespread in pharmaceutically active compounds. This is partly due to the ability of -acyl sulfonamides to act as bioisosteric equivalents of carboxylic acids. Accordingly, methods for the efficient preparation of -acyl sulfonamides are of considerable interest to medicinal chemists.
