STUDIES OF MINERAL COMPOSITION OF ORES OF THE KUMTOR DEPOSIT (CENTRAL TIEN SHAN) BY QXRD AND XRF METHODS by A.G. Shevkunov, A.A. Guda, A.A. Skorynina, S.W. McKnight

“…The experimental analyses enabled us to estimate the semi-quantitative content of major ore-forming non-metallic and ore minerals and to establish the possible presence of minerals previously unknown in the composition of ores (barytocalcite, viterite, ferrinatrite, etc.). The macro- and microscopical identification of these minerals is problematic, although their relative content locally reaches several weight percents.…”

Advancing high-resolution musculoskeletal ultrasound: a histology- and anatomy-driven approach for enhanced shoulder imaging. Part 2: Anterior and lateral shoulder by Tamborrini Giorgio, Micheroli Raphael, Ricci Vincenzo, Becciolini Marco, Garcia-Pompermayer Mario, Gonzalo Andres Serrano Belmar, Müller-Gerbl Magdalena, Margenfeld Felix

“…Recent developments in ultrasound technology have significantly increased image resolution, making it possible to see anatomical features at almost microscopic dimensions. Current standards for standardized shoulder ultrasonography mostly depend on outdated machine types and configurations that may not fully utilize these high-resolution imaging capabilities. …”

Directional entropy based model for diffusivity-driven tumor growth by Marcelo E. de Oliveira, Luiz M. G. Neto

“…In this work, we present and investigate a multiscale model to simulate 3D growth of glioblastomas (GBMs) that incorporates features of the tumor microenvironment and derives macroscopic growth laws from microscopic tissue structure information. We propose a normalized version of the Shannon entropy as an alternative measure of the directional anisotropy for an estimation of the diffusivity tensor in cases where the latter is unknown. …”

Quantum entanglement in nuclear fission by Yu Qiang, Junchen Pei, Kyle Godbey

“…The entanglement of fragment wave functions is persistent even after separation and impacts the partition of particles and energies between fragments. Based on microscopic dynamical calculations of the fission of 240Pu, this work finds that dynamical quantum entanglement is indispensable in the appearance of sawtooth distributions of average excitation energies of fragments and thus neutron multiplicities, but not in average neutron excess of fragments. …”
