STUDY ON NEUTRON – GAMMA PULSE SHAPE DISCRIMINATION ALGORITHMS FOR SCINTILLATION DETECTOR by Phan Văn Chuân, Nguyễn Đức Hòa, Nguyễn Đắc Châu, Vương Nữ Minh Khuê

“…The results obtained show that the method to rise-time discrimination has a quality factor (Figure-of-Merits: FOM=1.09), pulsed gradient analysis method (FOM = 0.66), charge comparison method (FOM = 2.21), and correlation pattern method (FOM = 1.97). This result is the basis for building systems for measurements of neutron using scintillation detectors.…”

How polarization, populist attitudes, and cultural backlash affect citizens’ support for democracy: Evidence from Spain by Irene Palacios Brihuega, Antonio Garrido Rubia, Antonia Martínez Rodríguez

“…The results indicate that holding consistently populist views, conservative cultural values, and being affectively polarized is particularly harmful for democracy when this attitudinal pattern is maintained by younger individuals. We discuss the implications that socialization in democratic environments marked by frequent populist rhetoric and rising polarization might have on younger generations’ democratic commitment. …”
