Injections of insulin are the main treatment for diabetes, but in the long run this therapy can induce serious drawbacks. This has inspired new drugs able to decrease insulin requirements. For instance, human amylin (hIAPP) is a small hormone cosecreted by pancreatic β-cells with insulin to which is a synergistic partner. However, the high amyloido...

This paper presents studies of the influence of the coincidence resolving time on the activity calculated by the Triple-to-Double Coincidences Ratio (TDCR) method in Liquid Scintillation (LS) counting. Recently, published methods for the correction for accidental coincidences in TDCR counting open the possibility to use resolving times up to severa...

It is common practice to assume values for basal heat flow or basal temperatures as a lower boundary condition for thermo-kinematic models of crustal tectonics. Here, we infer spatial and temporal variations of the paleo-basal temperature from integrated modelling of thermochronological ages, to relate the inferred variations to the geodynamic sett...

Several improvements are added to the MicroElec extension of Geant4 in order to track very low energy electrons, protons and ions in different materials. The interaction processes for ions and protons are extended down to 1 keV/nucleon, and to a few eVs for electrons, corresponding to the electron affinity or work-function of the selected material....

Brain dopamine transporter imaging with I-123-labeled radioligands is technically demanding due to the small size of the imaging target relative to the spatial resolution of most SPECT systems. In addition, I-123 has high-energy peaks which can penetrate or scatter in the collimator and be detected in the imaging energy window. The aim of this stud...

In 2013, Galtier et al. [1] theoretically revisited a numerical trick that had been used since the very beginning of linear-transport Monte-Carlo simulation: introducing “null” scatterers into a heterogeneous field to make it virtually homogeneous.The rigorous connection between null-collision algorithms and integral formulations of the radiative t...

Emotion recognition has drawn consistent attention from researchers recently. Although gesture modality plays an important role in expressing emotion, it is seldom considered in the field of emotion recognition. A key reason is the scarcity of labeled data containing 3D skeleton data. Some studies in action recognition have applied graph-based neur...

The study presents a new ANN-based approach to determine the density of a liquid applied in the gamma transmission and gamma scattering techniques. This approach used the Monte Carlo simulation combined with an artificial intelligence technique and experimental data to estimate the density of liquids. Two advantages of the proposed approach: (1) it...

In a series of previous papers, we have presented a new approach, based on perturbative QCD, for the evolution of a jet in a dense quark-gluon plasma. In the original formulation, the plasma was assumed to be homogeneous and static. In this work, we extend our description and its Monte Carlo implementation to a plasma obeying Bjorken longitudinal e...
