Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 expression in women with uterine cervix adenocarcinoma from Appalachian Kentucky by Charles A. Kunos, Denise Fabian, Dava W. Piecoro, Dana Napier, Rachel W. Miller, Frederick R. Ueland

“…IntroductionHigh-risk human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive adenocarcinomas associate with early recurrence and death, prompting consideration of novel radiotherapeutic options like a trastuzumab-linked thorium-227 alpha-particle emitting radionuclide.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective pilot biomarker study of uterine cervix cancers among patients in Appalachian Kentucky, to characterize an exploitable triage biomarker like HER2 expression before starting a prospective phase 0 trial.ResultsMost (60%) adenocarcinomas showed HER2 cell-surface overexpression, whereas squamous cell carcinomas (4%) did not do so.DiscussionFurther validation tests of HER2 expression as a triage biomarker for radiopharmaceutical selection are warranted.…”

Cluster-daughter overlap as a new probe of alpha-cluster formation in medium-mass and heavy even–even nuclei by Dong Bai, Zhongzhou Ren

“…We introduce a dimensionless parameter O, which is the ratio between the root-mean-square (rms) intercluster separation and the sum of rms point radii of the daughter nucleus and the alpha particle, to measure the degree of the cluster-daughter overlap quantitatively. …”

Radon and Thoron Exhalation Rates from Surface Soil of Bangka - Belitung Islands, Indonesia by Syarbaini Syarbaini, E. Pudjadi

“…Exhalation rates of radon and thoron were measured by using an accumulation chamber equipped with a solid-state alpha particle detector. Furthermore, the correlations between radon and thoron exhalation rates with their parent nuclide (226Ra and 232Th) concentrations in collected soil samples from the same locations were also evaluated. …”

⁶LiF Converters for Neutron Detection: Production Procedures and Detector Tests by Antonio Massara, Simone Amaducci, Luigi Cosentino, Fabio Longhitano, Carmelo Marchetta, Gaetano Elio Poma, Martina Ursino, Paolo Finocchiaro

“…Several methods to detect thermal neutrons make use of the naturally occurring ⁶Li isotope, as it has a rather high cross-section for neutron capture followed by a decay into an alpha particle and a triton. Due to the high chemical reactivity of lithium, the use of the stable isotopic salt ⁶LiF is generally preferred to the pure ⁶Li. …”

Does the Mott problem extend to Geiger counters? by Schonfeld Jonathan F.

“…The Mott problem is a simpler version of the quantum measurement problem that asks: Is there a microscopic physical mechanism – based (explicitly or implicitly) only on Schroedinger’s equation – that explains why a single alpha particle emitted in a single spherically symmetric s-wave nuclear decay produces a manifestly nonspherically symmetric single track in a cloud chamber? …”

Temperature dependence of cathodoluminescence emission in irradiated Si-doped β-Ga2O3 by Sushrut Modak, Leonid Chernyak, Alfons Schulte, Minghan Xian, Fan Ren, Stephen J. Pearton, Arie Ruzin, Sergey S. Kosolobov, Vladimir P. Drachev

“…Temperature dependent continuous and time-resolved cathodoluminescence measurements were employed to understand the luminescence from Si-doped β-Ga2O3 prior to irradiation and after 10 MeV proton and 18 MeV alpha-particle irradiation. The shape and location of the luminescence components [ultraviolet luminescence (UVL′) at 3.63 eV, UVL at 3.3 eV, and blue-luminescence at 2.96 eV] obtained from Gaussian decomposition did not change in either width or peak location, indicating that new radiation-induced trap-levels were non-radiative in nature between the 4.5 and 310 K temperature range. …”
