X-Ray-Induced Changes to Passivation Layers of Lithium-Ion Battery Electrodes by Benjamin T. Young, David R. Heskett, Joseph C. Woicik, Brett L. Lucht

“…Variable energy, synchrotron radiation (SR), permits access to information not available to common lab-based radiation sources, making high-energy PES studies extremely useful for understanding thin films and interfaces. High-SR photon flux has been useful for developing models of soft X-ray-induced effects, but hard X-ray SR-induced effects are less well studied and will be increasingly important as popularity and availability of SR for thin film analysis continues to grow. …”

From DNA Radiation Damage to Cell Death: Theoretical Approaches by Francesca Ballarini

“…Furthermore, a mechanistic model developed at the University of Pavia and based on the relationship between cell inactivation and chromosome aberrations was presented, together with recent results; the good agreement between model predictions and literature experimental data on different radiation types (photons, protons, alpha particles, and Carbon ions) supported the idea that asymmetric chromosome aberrations like dicentrics and rings play a fundamental role for cell death. …”

A unifying principle for global greenness patterns and trends by Wenjia Cai, Ziqi Zhu, Sandy P. Harrison, Youngryel Ryu, Han Wang, Boya Zhou, Iain Colin Prentice

“…Remotely-sensed fractional absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (fAPAR), a land-surface greenness measure, depends on carbon allocation to foliage while also controlling photon flux for photosynthesis. Here we use an equation with just two globally fitted parameters to describe annual maximum fAPAR as the smaller of a water-limited value transpiring a constant fraction of annual precipitation, and an energy-limited value maximizing annual plant growth. …”
