“…The lifetime of the fast component of cathodoluminescence at 2.8 and 3.1 eV equals 2.4 and 1.7 ns, respectively, at 6 K and even shortens to approximately τ ≈ 0.3 ns at room temperature. At 10 K, photons of 7.6 and 6.7 eV directly form ELFs in the field of single or paired Na+ impurity ions with typical luminescence bands peaked, respectively, at 2.8 eV (el0 (Na+)) and 3.1 eV (el0 (Na+-Na+)). …”

Multi-modality Imaging Identifies Key Times for Annexin V Imaging as an Early Predictor of Therapeutic Outcome by Stefanie J. Mandl, Carina Mari, Matthias Edinger, Robert S. Negrin, Jonathan F. Tait, Christopher H. Contag, Francis G. Blankenberg

“…To address this issue, we obtained simultaneous in vivo measurements of tumor burden and uptake of radiolabeled annexin V in the syngeneic orthotopic murine BCL 1 lymphoma model using in vivo bioluminescence imaging (BLI) and small animal single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). BCL 1 cells labeled for fluorescence and bioluminescence assays (BCL 1 − gfp/luc ) were injected into mice at a dose that leads to progressive disease within two to three weeks. …”

Reflection of two-dimensional surface polaritons by metallic nano-plates on atomically thin crystals by Lee Seojoo, Kang Ji-Hun

“…Through our rigorous model, we reveal that, for strongly confined 2DSPs having much larger momentum than free space photons, the interaction results in almost total internal reflection of 2DSPs as the radiative coupling of the 2DSPs to free space is negligible. …”

Position for Site-Specific Attachment of a DOTA Chelator to Synthetic Affibody Molecules Has a Different Influence on the Targeting Properties of Ga-Compared to In-Labeled Conjugat... by Hadis Honarvar, Joanna Strand, Anna Perols, Anna Orlova, Ram Kumar Selvaraju, Amelie Eriksson Karlström, Vladimir Tolmachev

“…Radiolabeling of Affibody molecules with the positron-emitting nuclide 68 Ga would permit the use of positron emission tomography (PET), providing better resolution, sensitivity, and quantification accuracy than single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). The synthetic anti-HER2 Z HER2:S1 Affibody molecule was conjugated with DOTA at the N-terminus, in the middle of helix 3, or at the C-terminus. …”

Multimodality Registration without a Dedicated Multimodality Scanner by Bradley J. Beattie, Gregor J. Förster, Ricardo Govantes, Carl H. Le, Valerie A. Longo, Pat B. Zanzonico, Luc Bidaut, Ronald G. Blasberg, Jason A. Koutcher

“…Using a thin plastic wrap to immobilize and fix a mouse or other small animal atop a removable bed, we are able to calculate registrations between all combinations of four different small animal imaging scanners (positron emission tomography, single-photon emission computed tomography, magnetic resonance, and computed tomography [CT]) at our disposal, effectively equivalent to a quadruple-modality scanner. …”

“…In this paper, we compute, by means of the recently and thoroughly updated PARSE v1.2 s database of stellar nonrotating evolutionary tracks, the integrated stellar spectra, the ionizing photon budget, and the supernovae rates of young simple stellar populations (SSPs), for five metallicities between 0.0001 and 0.02 and four choices of stellar initial mass function (IMF) upper mass limits between 40 M _⊙ and 350 M _⊙ . …”

Chasing the Beginning of Reionization in the JWST Era by Christopher Cain, Garett Lopez, Anson D’Aloisio, Julian B. Muñoz, Rolf A. Jansen, Rogier A. Windhorst, Nakul Gangolli

“…Recent JWST observations at z  > 6 may imply galactic ionizing photon production above prior expectations. Under observationally motivated assumptions about escape fractions, these suggest a z  ~ 8–9 end to reionization, in tension with the z  < 6 end required by the Ly α forest. …”
