Aesthetic experiences and flourishing in science: A four-country study by Christopher J. Jacobi, Peter J. Varga, Brandon Vaidyanathan

“…Based on a large-scale (N = 3,061) and representative international survey of scientists (biologists and physicists) in four countries (India, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States), this study employs sets of nested regressions to model the associations of aesthetic experiences with flourishing while controlling for demographic factors and negative workplace and life circumstances such as burnout, job/publication pressure, mistreatment, COVID-19 impacts, other stressful life events, serious psychological distress, and chronic health conditions. …”

Clinical radiobiology of proton therapy: modeling of RBE by Jones, B

“…Late reacting normal tissues (with low a/b values), might be overdosed if RBE &gt;1.1; very radiosensitive tumors (with high a/b), might be under-dosed if RBE&lt;1.1. Some physicists recommend ignoring RBE in favor of a LET x dose product to predict effects. …”
