Article Abstract

A Twin Frisch-Grid Ionization Chamber (TFGIC) for the measurement of correlated fission fragments has been built in the Institute of Nuclear Physics and Chemistry (INPC). The design and performance testing, as well as data analysis of fission experiments, have been described in this paper. The results of performance testing experiment with a compound alpha source of Am showed that the ratio of the electric field between the drift region and collection region should be greater than a critical value. Meanwhile, the correction of grid inefficiency (GI) and the reconstruction of emission angle were investigated in detail. These experimental results provided a solid foundation for fission experiments. Two fission experiments of U have been carried out both at the Chinese Mianyang research reactor (CMRR) and neutron science facility in INPC to validate the feasibility of this setup used for investigating fission. The results showed that the angular resolution achieved 12.6%, and the mass resolution was about 5 atom mass unit (AMU). Moreover, the total kinetic energy (TKE) of fission fragments for both fission experiments agreed well with those in the literature. These primary results indicated the detector could be well applied in the subsequent fission investigation.

Understanding the electronic structure of polycyclic aromatic compounds is of fundamental importance for their potential applications. The optoelectronic properties of shorter acenes such as tetracene and pentacene have been extensively studied with regard to excitation, emission, and nonlinear effects such as singlet fission. The longer homologues present a unique challenge due to their low stability both in the solid state and in solution.

Unlabelled: Doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity is the most prevalent adverse reaction of DOX during chemotherapy and significantly impacts its clinical application. At present, clinical interventions for mitigating DOX-induced cardiotoxicity remain sub-optimal. Mitochondria are the primary target organ of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, which can result in cardiac mitochondrial dynamic imbalance and impaired mitochondrial autophagy.

Background: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is characterized by early ovarian dysfunction, which has a profound impact on female fertility. Insulin-like Growth Factor 2 (IGF2) is believed to maintain ovarian function, yet the mechanisms and specific roles of IGF2 in POI remain unclear. This study explores the roles of IGF2 and its binding protein PCBP2 in POI, with a particular focus on their effects on mitochondrial function in granulosa cells and ovarian function.

Tetrabromophthalate bis(2-ethylhexyl) ester (TBPH) is a common brominated flame retardant, which exhibits environmental persistence, the potential for bioaccumulation, and concerning toxicological effects. But until now, there is limited data on TBPH-induced nephrotoxicity. Therefore, this study assessed the impact of TBPH exposure on renal cells and tissues through in vitro and in vivo models.

The field of computationally controlled light faces a strong demand for new platforms capable of providing adaptable light generation to meet the requirements of advanced photonic technologies. Here, we present the concept of computationally optimized nonlinear frequency conversion in programmable liquid-core fibers that enables real-time tunable and reconfigurable nonlinear power distribution through computationally optimized dispersion landscapes. The concept combines a temperature-sensitive mode in a liquid-core fiber, particle swarm optimization, fission of ultra-fast solitons, and a computer-controlled heating array to create a feedback loop for controlling output spectra via local temperature-induced dispersion modulation.
