Nuclear Thermometers

In intermediate energy nuclear collisions (E/A~50MeV), the nuclei collide and compress, forming what is called a compound nucleus. As the compound nucleus cools and expands, it breaks apart into multiple nuclei in a process called multi-fragmentation. These fragments then begin to cool by emitting small nuclei. The final products of decay are then observed in detectors. The populations of nucle...

floaters. Visual acuity was 6/18-2 in the left eye and 6/60 in the right. Dilated fundus examination showed bilateral vitreous haemorrhages, with neovascularisation at the disc and elsewhere, and tractional retinal detachments. Non-fasting pinprick blood glucose was 20.3 mmol/L and blood pressure was 140/100 mmHg. The patient denied weight loss (BMI 18 kg/m2) or polydipsia, although detailed qu...

Lanthanide-based luminescent molecular thermometers

the consciousness of its pathology and physiology and, in turn, on the optimization of therapeutic processes (e.g. in hyperthermal tumour treatment and photodynamic therapy). Conventional temperature sensors are the so-called contact thermometers, in which the measurement of temperature is 25 achieved by heat flow to an invasive probe. 8 The contact nature of such measurements makes traditional...
