Unified description of the coupled-channels and statistical Hauser-Feshbach nuclear reaction theories for low energy neutron incident reactions
We incorporate the coupled-channels optical model into the statistical Hauser-Feshbach nuclear reaction theory, where the scattering matrix is diagonalized by performing the Engelbrecht-Weidenmüller transformation. This technique has been implemented in the coupled-channels optical model code ECIS by J. Raynal, and we extend this method so that all the open channels in a nucleon-induced reaction on a deformed nucleus can be calculated consistently.

Ev Info And Incident Response Solutions
In post-crash situations, passengers, bystanders, and first responders are exposed to the immediate safety risks of stranded energy in electric vehicle (EV) batteries. A potentially damaged battery with an unknown state of safety might go into a thermal runaway without proper handling, leading to potential loss of life and property damage. Therefore, it is imperative to develop methods, guidelines and tools to handle the post-crash EVs appropriately and minimize safety risks from immediately after an EV accident to final disposal or re-entry to the road. This software tool: (1) provides quick access to EV specification, (2) estimate stranded energy left in an EV after a crash specific to EVs in a user-friendly way, (3) inform EV structure/disconnect for appropriate quick post-crash handling, (4) perform the calculation for the first responder to decide on onsite or offsite discharge, and (5) feature appropriate battery disposal and education/lessons learned. This software tool will directly help the emergency responders to handle EV post-crash situations effectively and safely.

Incident excitation effects on ZnO-based photoluminescence
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is an attractive semiconductor material owing to a wide band gap, large exciton binding energy, and strong luminescent properties. Two distinct spectral regions are present in the room temperature emission of this material: a narrow line in the UV/near-UV region that is excitonic in nature and a lower energy broad emission band centered in the green/yellow region. Commercially available ZnO particles containing excess Zn and oxygen vacancy defect sites (referred to as ZnO:Zn) were excited using three light sources to study different radiative recombination regimes of the as-received powders. First, a UV LED at a center wavelength of 365 nm provided low irradiance (0.02–0.08 W/cm 2 ) with varying pulse widths (continuous operation to 16 ns). Second, the third harmonic of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser provided high irradiances (∼10 4 –10 6 W/cm 2 ) at a fixed nominal pulse width of 5 ns. Finally, a continuous polychromatic synchrotron X-ray source was also used to excite the ZnO:Zn powders. During UV LED excitation, a low number of carriers are created in the material, leading to an anticipated linear relationship between luminescence and irradiance. This held true for defect luminescence; however, there was an observed enhancement of exciton emission relative to the UV LED intensity as the pulse width was decreased, independent of irradiance. During UV laser excitation, the number of carriers was significantly increased, raising the material into a bimolecular recombination regime, which produced exciton emission much stronger than visible band emission. Finally, spectra obtained during synchrotron X-ray excitation, whose continuous illumination and higher penetration depth yielded higher emission from defect sites relative to exciton emission. A redshift in the exciton emission was also observed as excitation pulse width and sample temperature were varied, and is discussed.

Chelation Modeling of a Plutonium-238 Inhalation Incident Treated with Delayed DTPA
This work describes an analysis, using a previously established chelation model, of the bioassay data collected from a worker who received delayed chelation therapy following a plutonium-238 inhalation. The details of the case have already been described in two publications. The individual was treated with Ca-DTPA via multiple intravenous injections and then nebulizations beginning several months after the intake and continuing for four years. The exact date and circumstances of the intake are unknown. However, interviews with the worker suggested that the intake occurred via inhalation of a soluble plutonium compound. The worker provided daily urine and fecal bioassay samples throughout the chelation treatment protocol, including samples collected before, during, and after the administration of Ca-DTPA. Unlike the previous two publications presenting this case, the current analysis explicitly models the combined biokinetics of the plutonium-DTPA chelate. Further, using the previously established chelation model, it was possible to fit the data through optimizing only the intake (day and magnitude), solubility, and absorbed fraction of nebulized Ca-DTPA. This work supports the hypothesis that the efficacy of the delayed chelation treatment observed in this case results mainly from chelation of cell-internalized plutonium by Ca-DTPA (intracellular chelation). It also demonstrates the validity of the previously established chelation model. As the bioassay data were modified to ensure data anonymization, the calculation of the “true” committed effective dose was not possible. However, the treatment-induced dose inhibition (in percentage) was calculated.
