Introduction: This laboratory plans to establish neutron reference radiation fields with three neutron sources to calibrate neutron-measuring devices. To perform calibration at multiple dose rates, neutron ambient dose equivalent rate H˙(10) needs to range 1 μSv/h to 10 mSv/h. The lower limit requires that the maximum available calibration distance should be at least 4.5 m.
Methods: To reduce room-scattered neutrons and extend the available calibration distance, MC simulations were conducted to determine the material and size of the irradiation room. A 3″ Bonner sphere and a LB6411 environmental neutron dosimeter were used to characterize the irradiation room.
Results: A 14.32 × 14.32 × 12.00 m irradiation room was built based on simulation results. Floor, roof, and walls are made of 75 cm concrete covered by a coating layer of 2 cm BPE and 3 cm PE. Experimental maximum available calibration distance reaches 4.65 m. The range of H˙(10) for calibration covers 1 μSv/h to 10 mSv/h. Neutron and photon H˙(10) outside the room are within 0.19 μSv/h and 0.22 μSv/h, respectively.

The construction of polymer-based photoactivated room-temperature phosphorescence systems remains a prominent research focus, yet the development of ultrafast activated systems under ambient conditions continues to pose a challenge. In this study, cyclized phenothiazine derivatives bearing diverse substituents are synthesized and incorporated into an amorphous polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix, resulting in significantly enhanced dynamic photoactivation characteristics compared with those of their pristine monomeric counterparts. Under ambient conditions and 2 s irradiation, the lifetime and quantum yield of C[4]PTZ-OH@PVA increase by factors of 1.

Pelvic infection has emerged as a significant health risk to women, making the accurate identification of possible pathogenic bacteria and pathogens crucial for its prevention and treatment. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) for antibacterial purposes has emerged as an alternative and promising therapeutic approach for pelvic infections. In this investigation, we developed new antibacterial nanomaterials (DCMP NPs) using doxycycline (DCL), chitosan (CH), and mesoporous polydopamine (MPD) nanoparticles.

Photoinduced trifluoroethyl and acyl radical procedures for the efficient and simple preparation of iodotrifluoroethylated and acylated pyrrolidine-2-ones from -tethered 1,6-enynes with 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-iodoethane and acyl oxime esters are reported. The photoinduced iodotrifluoroethylation is performed via the energy transfer (EnT) process of the fluorescein sodium-mediated atom-transfer radical addition (ATRA) strategy under visible-light irradiation. The acylation is carried out with 4CzIPN as an organophotocatalyst at room temperature under metal- and oxidant-free conditions.

Objective: Insufficient radiofrequency ablation (IRFA) increases the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence and metastasis. Our previous study revealed that IRFA downregulates FUNDC2P4 and promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), but the mechanisms remain unclear.
Materials And Methods: We simulated IRFA using a thermostatic water bath and assessed RNA and protein expression via qRT-PCR and Western blotting.

Gallium oxide (GaO) is distinguished in the electronics field for its ultrawide bandgap, high breakdown field, and transparency to visible and infrared light, making it highly attractive for sensor applications in harsh environments. This study investigates the evolution of defects in GaO under ion irradiation, annealing, and their combined effects, with a unique focus on in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations. We examined three electron-transparent GaO lamellas (samples A, B, and C) under distinct conditions: Sample A was subjected to Kr ion irradiation up to 15.
