The range of potential applications compact laser-plasma ion sources motivates the development new acceleration schemes to increase achievable energies and conversion efficiencies. Whilst evolving nature interactions can limit effectiveness individual mechanisms, it also enable hybrid schemes, allowing additional degrees control on properties resulting beam. Here we report an experimental demonstration efficient proton exceeding 94 MeV via a scheme radiation pressure-sheath in ultrathin foil...
Low-energy bombardment by argon and oxygen ions has been used in the deposition of thin dielectric films ZrO2. The film packing density improved from 0.83 to unity with a corresponding increase refractive index 1.84 2.19. highest stable measured was 2.23 for ion-assisted ZrO2 on substrate heated 300 °C. Ion during condensation evaporated room temperature results crystallization into cubic phase which is consistent previous studies ion impact thermal-spike processes. At elevated temperatures...
Novel targets were implemented in the beam-driven (in-target) proton-boron fusion with beneficial characteristics (chemical composition and density) compared to commonly used boron nitride.

Background and purpose: Certain nuclear receptors (NRs) such as the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), pregnane X (PXR) farnesoid (FXR) mediate induction of some cytochrome P450 enzymes ABC transporters but conflicting reports exist. The purpose this study was to assess reasons for these discrepancies use a standardized approach compare activators NRs. Experimental approach: Dexamethasone, pregnenolone 16α‐carbonitrile, rifampicin, phenobarbital chenodeoxycholic acid were incubated with...
Nanomedicine strategies have produced many commercial products. However, no orally dosed HIV nanomedicines are available clinically to patients. Although nanosuspensions of drug particles demonstrated benefits, experimentally achieving >25 wt% relative stabilizers is highly challenging. In this study, the emulsion‐templated freeze‐drying technique for nanoparticles formation applied first time optimize a nanodispersion leading non‐nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor efavirenz,...
Amorphous TiO2 thin films were synthesized using a pulsed direct current plasma deposition technique. The prepared in the discharges of Ar, Ar + O2, and N2. original annealed samples characterized X-ray diffraction, photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet visible (UV−vis), electrochemistry. presence oxygen was found to be essential annealing medium for formation polycrystalline films. By optimizing experimental conditions, we obtained that showed 80%...

Abstract The formation of dual‐component organic nanoparticles by a modified emulsion‐templated freeze‐drying approach leads to aqueous nanosuspensions showing fluorescence (Förster) resonance energy transfer (FRET) from within distribution single nanoparticles. combination both FRET dyes (<200 nm) allows the spatial and physical monitoring particles, as signal is lost on dissolution breakdown accumulation Caco‐2 cells macrophages shows very limited internalization non‐phagocytic cells....
