ABSTRACTOptical and photoelectron spectroscopies using VUV and Soft X-ray photons are powerful tools for studies of elemental and compound actinides. Large changes in the relative atomic cross sections of the 5f, 6d and sp electrons allow decomposition of the character of the valence bands using photoemission. Resonant enhancement of photoelectrons and Auger electrons at the 5d core threshold further aids the decomposition and gives a measure of elemental specificity. Angle-resolved photoemission can be used to map the momentum dependence of the electronic states. The large changes in relative cross section with photon energy yields further details when the mapping is done at equivalent points in multiple zones. Spectra for well understood rare earth materials will be presented to establish spectral characteristics for known atomic character initial states. These signatures will be applied to the case of USb to investigate f-d hybridization near the Fermi level.

AbstractIntroductionThe use of bowel preparation strategies to reduce the degree of rectal distension during prostate radiotherapy is well documented. This retrospective pilot study analysed and compared a probiotic agent against a psyllium-supplemented diet to establish the feasibility of probiotics as a bowel preparation for patients receiving radical radiotherapy for prostate cancer.MethodA retrospective chart review of five patients taking probiotics and five taking psyllium husk (psyllium) during their course of radiotherapy treatment was conducted. On treatment, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were compared with planning CTs to quantify inter-fractional variation in rectal volume and distension.ResultsForty-five CBCT scans were available in both the psyllium and probiotics groups for analysis. Variation in mean difference in rectal volume from planning (ΔRV), mean rectal cross-section area (CSA) and mean relative cross-section area (CSArel) was significantly increased for the probiotics group compared with the psyllium group (p=0·001, 0·008 and 0·007, respectively). No statistically significant differences in mean ΔRV, CSA and CSArel were detected between the two groups.ConclusionThis retrospective analysis suggests that a probiotics-based bowel preparation that utilises Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium lactis may result in increased rectal volume and CSA variation throughout treatment in comparison with a psyllium-supplemented diet.

The fast-neutron-induced fission cross section of 242Pu was determined in the energy range of 0.5 MeV to 10MeV at the neutron time-of-flight facility nELBE. Using a parallel-plate fission ionization chamber this quantity was measured relative to 235U(n,f). The number of target nuclei was thereby calculated by means of measuring the spontaneous fission rate of 242Pu. An MCNP 6 neutron transport simulation was used to correct the relative cross section for neutron scattering. The determined results are in good agreement with current experimental and evaluated data sets.

Object and purpose of research. This paper discusses structural materials under cyclic load. The purpose is to determine the minimum fatigue life corresponding to a certain non-exceedance probability of this value. Materials and methods. The study was performed on three structural materials: steel 15ХМ, steel 08Kh18N10Т and titanium alloy PТ-7М. Initial estimate of fatigue life distribution parameters relied on the data about guaranteed maximum and minimum values of temporary resistance and relative cross-section tapering. The assessment was performed as per a common curve “conditionally elastic stress amplitude versus number of cycles to failure” taking into account the mechanical prop-erties of given material. The values of minimum fatigue life were obtained as per two different methods: statistical simulation of the random values following the Weibull distribution law and the analytical expression for probability density of the lows for given distribution function of random value and fixed scope of sampling. Main results. The lows yielded by statistical simulation are more conservative than those yielded by the analytical formula. The margin in terms of the number of cycles to failure stipulated as 10 in several regulatory documents seems to be somewhat unsubstantiated. This margin is too great in the low-cycle domain and too small in the high-cycle one. Conclusion. This paper postulates the existence of guaranteed maximum and minimum values for mechanical properties of structural materials, namely temporary resistance and relative cross-section tapering. These values were applied to well-known analytical curves of fatigue, which finally yielded possible variation ranges for fatigue life at various amplitudes of conditionally elastic reduced stresses, assuming the existence of a certain shift in the sensitivity limit of fatigue life distribution. These data were further used to establish standard deviations and mathematical expectations for the number of cycles to failure.
