Article Abstract
This study explored peanut shell biochar's remediation effects on acidic soils through leaching experiments and numerical simulations. Five biochar application rates (0-10 %) were tested under leaching (LP) and natural (NP) conditions. Biochar significantly increased soil pH (from 5.23 to 6.81 in 10 cm LP soil at 10 % treatment) while reducing electrical conductivity (173.6 μS/cm) and exchangeable acid (0.15 μmol/kg). Leaching accelerated pH improvement, with acidic ion migration reaching 15.87 %. Biochar's alkaline components (carbonates/ash) neutralized acidity, while surface functional groups adsorbed acidic ions. Its porous structure retained base ions and enhanced macro-aggregate formation (>0.25 mm, +35 %), improving water retention. Numerical simulations revealed increased porosity (58.03 % at 10 % treatment) and reduced outflow rate (-64.5 %) through flow impedance and low-velocity zone formation. The dual mechanism combines chemical neutralization, physical adsorption, and hydrodynamic modification, demonstrating biochar's synergistic potential for acidic soil remediation. These findings provide theoretical support for sustainable agricultural practices using organic amendments.

Possibility of increasing linear energy transfer in multi-ion radiotherapy for bone and soft tissue sarcomas.

Background: Multi-ion radiotherapy using carbon, oxygen, and neon ions aims to improve local control by increasing dose-averaged linear energy transfer (LET) in the target. However, there has been limited understanding of how to utilize variables for multi-ion treatment planning such as the selection and arrangement of ion species.
Purpose: An in silico study was conducted to explore the feasibility of increasing a minimum LET, and the optimal selection and arrangement of ion species in multi-ion therapy for increasing LET in tumors of varying sizes mimicking bone and soft tissue sarcomas (BSTS).

Objective: Antimicrobial resistant infections are expected to increase the rate of antibiotic treatment failure in patients during a mass casualty incident. We aim to examine the potential impact of rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR) on medical preparedness and response to a nuclear detonation in the United States (U.S.

Confidence distributions are a frequentist alternative to the Bayesian posterior distribution. These confidence distributions have received more attention in the recent past because of their simplicity. In rare diseases, oncology, or in pediatric drug development, single-arm trials, or platform trials consisting of a series of single-arm trials are increasingly being used, both to establish proof-of-concept and to provide pivotal evidence for a marketing application.

Geopolymers are aluminosilicate materials that exhibit effective immobilization properties for low-level radioactive nuclear waste, and more specifically for the immobilization of radioactive cesium. The identification of the cesium-binding sites and their distribution between the different phases making up the geopolymeric matrix can be obtained using solid-state NMR measurements of the quadrupolar spin Cs, which is a surrogate for the radioactive cesium species present in nuclear waste streams. For quadrupolar nuclei, acquiring two-dimensional multiple-quantum experiments allows the acquisition of more dispersed spectra when multiple sites overlap.

Blood perfusion in cardiac tissues involves intricate interactions among vascular networks and tissue mechanics. Perfusion deficit is one of the leading causes of cardiac diseases, and modeling certain cardiac conditions that are clinically infeasible, invasive, or costly can provide valuable supplementary insights to aid clinicians. However, existing homogeneous perfusion models lack the complexity required for patient-specific simulations.
