Optimization Function for Determining Optimal Dose Range for Beef and Seed Potato Irradiation by Elena Kozlova, Ulyana Bliznyuk, Alexander Chernyaev, Polina Borshchegovskaya, Arcady Braun, Victoria Ipatova, Sergey Zolotov, Alexander Nikitchenko, Natalya Chulikova, Anna Malyuga, Yana Zubritskaya, Timofey Bolotnik, Anastasia Oprunenko, Aleksandr Kozlov, Mikhail Beklemishev, Roza Yagudina, Igor Rodin

“…The behavior patterns of myoglobin derivatives and the amount of potential damage to albumin found in this study determined the optimal dose range, which appeared to be wider for beef irradiation compared to that for seed potato tubers, as they do not require uniform irradiation of the entire volume since targeted phytopathogens are predominantly found within the surface layers of the tubers. The use of proprietary methods involving spectrophotometry and high-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry provides a novel perspective on the quantitative assessment of the myoglobin oxidation level and the potential damage to albumin’s native structure.…”

Functional Optical Fibers with Tailored Side Emission from Modified Rod‐in‐Tube Preforms by Jan Schröder, Aaron Reupert, Kilian Pollok, Falko Langenhorst, Lothar Wondraczek

“…Soft borosilicate with an extended optical transmission window and a drawing temperature below 1100 °C serves as the base glass for stack manufacture, providing access to a wide variety of active and passive scattering species to be placed into the scattering layer. A slurry‐based approach and sol–gel technique for interface functionalization demonstrate the incorporation of iinescent lanthanide ions and noble metal nanoparticles to obtain side‐emitting light guides with tailored luminescent diffusion, localized surface plasmon resonance, and plasmon‐enhanced photoluminescence, respectively.…”
