Phantom-based investigation of block sequential regularised expectation maximisation (BSREM) reconstruction for zirconium-89 PET-CT for varied count levels by Bonney, LM, Walker, MD, McGowan, DR

“…Background: Zirconium-89 (Zr-89) PET tracers have become increasingly significant in the field of nuclear medicine due to their 3-day physical half-life, allowing for the study of dynamic biological processes over relatively long timeframes. …”

Changes in the phenomenon of icon-painting in Romania from the second half of the nineteenth century to the present day by Draghici-Vasilescu, N

“…Traditionally, in addition to their skills and artistic training, it is essential that iconographers should be deep believers, have a solid theological training, and live a very pure life. In Chapter 6 I present the answers of 27 Romanian contemporary iconographers to a 17 item questionnaire regarding the way in which they are trained and keep the canonical rules today, the techniques they use in painting and their own attitude towards their work.…”

Social wasps desert the colony and aggregate outside if parasitized: parasite manipulation? by Hughes, DP, Kathirithamby, J, Turillazzi, S, Beani, L

“…We suggest that early nest desertion and subsequent aggregations by parasitized nominal workers and “future queens” is adaptive manipulation of host behavior by the parasite to promote the completion of its life cycle.…”

Shattered nation: inequality and the geography of a failing state by Dorling, D

“…Once affluent suburbs are now unproductive places where opportunity has been replaced by food banks. Before COVID, life expectancy had dropped as a result of poverty for the first time since the 1930s. …”
