'Limin Jin' 'Jia Yan'] Oxygen-free high-conductivity copper (OFHC), chromium-zirconium copper (CuCrZr), and Glidcop® AL-15 are widely used in the high heat load absorber elements at the front end of synchrotron radiation facilities. It is necessary to choose the most suitable material according to the actual…

'Sarthak Khandelwal' 'Adwitiya Rao' 'David L. McDowell'] This work presents an open source, dislocation density based crystal plasticity modeling framework, ρ-CP. A Kocks-type thermally activated flow is used for accounting for the temperature and strain rate effects on the crystallographic shearing rate. Slip…

Among the global efforts to directly detect dark matter, the only positive claim so far relies on NaI(Tl) crystal detectors, making this technology of particular interest. ASTAROTH is a project aimed at developing the next generation of such detectors by reading out their scintillation light with SiPM matrices operated…

In this paper we study the self-organization process of adiabatic shear bands in OFHC copper and HY-100 steel taking into account strain hardening factor. Starting from mathematical model we present new numerical approach, which is based on Courant – Isaacson – Rees scheme that allows one to simulate fully localized…

'Yaocheng Hu' 'Yue Wu' 'Jiakun Fan' 'Haipeng Li' 'Qin Zhan' 'Hongguang Yang' 'Zhanglian Xu' 'Alexandros Lappas'] Secondary electron emission (SEE) of the oxygen-free high-conductivity copper (OFHC) target surface in neutron generators limits the stability and improvement of the neutron yield. A novel-type target of…

Cranial growth and development affects the closely related traits of head circumference (HC) and intracranial volume (ICV). Here we model the developmental genetic architecture of HC, showing this is genetically stable and correlated with genetic determinants of ICV. Investigating up to 46,000 children and adults of…

'Michael Assaf' 'Inna Popov'] A model is described, in which electrical breakdown in high-voltage systems is caused by stochastic fluctuations of the mobile dislocation population in the cathode. In this model, the mobile dislocation density normally fluctuates, with a finite probability to undergo a critical…

Ca^2+^ signaling is a major contributor to sensory hair cell function in the cochlea. Oncomodulin (OCM) is a Ca^2+^ binding protein preferentially expressed in outer hair cells of the cochlea and few other specialized cell types. Here, we expand on our previous reports and show that OCM prevents early progressive…

—Formula-based debugging techniques are becoming increasingly popular, as they provide a principled way to identify potentially faulty statements together with information that can help fix such statements. Although effective, these approaches are computationally expensive, which limits their practical applicability.…

Objective Home hazard assessment is particularly important following a fracture as a means of preventing subsequent fractures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate current checklists and evidence on home hazard to develop a usable self-administered checklist that could be used by adults to assess home hazards.…

Adolescence is a period of development which is characterised by distinct differences in decision-making strategies relative to adults. While it is broadly established that there are relative differences in the structural maturation of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and subcortical reward nuclei, such as the amygdala and…

'Patrick Roigk' 'Kilian Rapp' 'Hans-Helmut König'] Background Fragility fractures are one of the leading causes of disability in older adults. Yet, evidence for effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of preventive approaches combining bone health and fall prevention is rare. Objective To conduct a health-economic…

'Päivi Mäntylä' 'Riitta K. T. Saarela'] Title: Key summary points Aim We investigated the relationship between oral frailty and falls among long-term care residents. Findings Severity of oral frailty did not predict falls. Non-fallers were more often bedridden or needed a wheelchair and were dependent on others for…

'Jonathon D. Adachi' 'Lora Giangregorio' 'John Hirdes' 'Alexandra Papaioannou'] Background Fractures have dire consequences including pain, immobility, and death. People receiving home care are at higher risk for fractures than the general population. Yet, current fracture risk assessment tools require additional…

Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a persistent and mobile substance that has been increasing in concentrations within diverse environmental media, including rain, soils, human serum, plants, plant-based foods, and drinking water. Currently, TFA concentrations are orders of magnitude higher than those of other per- and…

We present a general method for the development of a Δ-DFT-type approach for the calculation of accurate potential energy surfaces (PESs) using a minimal amount (hundreds) of high-level wavefunction theory reference data. The method uses a quasirandom (Sobol) approach to sample points on the PES for which reference…

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition causing significant decline in the quality of life of sufferers and the limited knowledge on the pathophysiology hinders successful treatment. The aim of the current study was to examine electroencephalographic (EEG) findings of OCD to broaden our…

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are of high concern, with calls to regulate these as a class. In 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) revised the definition of PFAS to include any chemical containing at least one saturated CF2 or CF3 moiety. The consequence is that one of…

The increasing importance and predictive power of modern molecular modeling, driven by physics- and machine learning-based methods, necessitates a new collaborative architecture to replace the isolated, traditional model of software development. The traditional approach often led to redundant engineering effort, high…

The total oxidizable precursor (TOP) assay has been extensively used for detecting PFAS pollutants without analytical standards. It uses hydroxyl radical (HO•) from the heat-activation of persulfate under alkaline pH to convert H-containing precursors to perfluorocarboxylates (PFCAs) for target analysis. However, the…
