Methods for deriving the law of radioactive decay and the law of radiation absorption using the property of the exponent function when studying Physics in the system of secondary v... by D. B. Siyukhova, T. I. Demina

“…Meanwhile, both of these difficulties can be easily overcome by using the properties of the exponential function known to students of secondary vocational education.The purpose of the research is to develop a methodology for deriving the law of radioactive decay and the law of radiation absorption, using the properties of the exponential function; to conduct a pedagogical experiment in order to identify the problem of students’ mastery of the proposed material.The research methods used are theoretical justification; calculation; comparison of quantities; graphical analysis of experimental data; generalization of the experimental factors of the study and their explanation.The research results: a methodology has been developed for deriving the law of radioactive decay and the law of radiation absorption using the property of the exponential function; the result of the pedagogical experiment confirmed the effectiveness of the developed methodology.Key conclusions: from the proposed article we can conclude that the presented method for deriving the law of radioactive decay and the law of absorption of radiation using the property of the exponent function can be used by teachers when studying the section «Radioactive Radiation» for both students of professional educational organizations and school students (advanced level).…”

MRI Delta-Radiomics and Morphological Feature-Driven TabPFN Model for Preoperative Prediction of Lymphovascular Invasion in Invasive Breast Cancer by Yunhua Li BS, Jianfeng Yang MS, Pan Xiao MS, Haibo Liu BS, Yingjun Zhou BS, Xiuqi Yang MS, Gangwen Chen BS, Zhichao Zuo PhD

“…Background Traditional dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) radiomics approaches for predicting lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in invasive breast cancer (IBC) frequently neglect the importance of dynamic phase alterations, and their diagnostic efficacy is often constrained by limited sample sizes. We have developed the Tabular Prior-data Fitted Network (TabPFN) algorithm, which synergistically combines clinical and MR morphological features with delta-radiomics, thereby substantially improving the performance of binary classification. …”
