AB  - Accurately modeling the radiobiological mechanisms responsible for the induction of DNA damage remains a major scientific challenge, particularly for understanding the effects of low doses of ionizing radiation on living beings, such as the induction of carcinogenesis. A computational approach based on the Monte Carlo technique to simulate track structures in a biological medium is currently the most reliable method for calculating the early effects induced by ionizing radiation on DNA, the primary cellular target of such effects. The Geant4-DNA Monte Carlo toolkit can simulate not only the physical, but also the physico-chemical and chemical stages of water radiolysis. These stages can be combined with simplified geometric models of biological targets, such as DNA, to assess direct and indirect early DNA damage. In this study, DNA damage induced in a human fibroblast cell was evaluated using Geant4-DNA as a function of incident particle type (gammas, protons, and alphas) and energy. The resulting double-strand break yields as a function of linear energy transfer closely reproduced recent experimental data. Other quantities, such as fragment length distribution, scavengeable damage fraction, and time evolution of damage within an analytical repair model also supported the plausibility of predicting DNA damage using Geant4-DNA.The complete simulation chain application “molecularDNA”, an example for users of Geant4-DNA, will soon be distributed through Geant4.

AB  - This paper presents the Cr3+-activated Mg2TiO4 phosphor temperature dependance of its near infrared luminescence and its potential in the optical thermometry applications. In this respect, temperature dependences of three emission features were tested over the broad temperature range (10–500 K): (i) the luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) between emissions from 4T2→4A2 and 2E→4A2 transitions, (ii) the emission lifetime, and (iii) the shift of the 2E→4A2 emission band. We observed that LIR follows the Boltzmann equation for T > 300 K with the maximal value of relative sensitivity of 1.73 %K−1. The lifetime value of the 2E→4A2 transition strongly decreases with temperature with a maximal relative sensitivity of about 0.75 %K−1 at around 430K. Finally, the shift of the emission band is about 65 cm−1 over the complete temperature range.

AB  - A novel statistical model based on a two-layer, contact and information, graph is suggested in order to study the influence of disease prevalence on voluntary general population vaccination during the COVID-19 outbreak. Details about the structure and number of susceptible, infectious, and recovered/vaccinated individuals from the contact layer are simultaneously transferred to the information layer. The ever-growing wealth of information that is becoming available about the COVID virus was modelled at each individual level by a simplified proxy predictor of the amount of disease spread. Each informed individual, a node in a heterogeneous graph, makes a decision about vaccination “motivated” by their benefit. The obtained results showed that disease information type, global or local, has a significant impact on an individual vaccination decision. A number of different scenarios were investigated. The scenarios showed that in the case of the stronger impact of globally broadcasted disease information, individuals tend to vaccinate in larger numbers at the same time when the infection has already spread within the population. If individuals make vaccination decisions based on locally available information, the vaccination rate is uniformly spread during infection outbreak duration. Prioritising elderly population vaccination leads to an increased number of infected cases and a higher reduction in mortality. The developed model accuracy allows the precise targeting of vaccination order depending on the individuals’ number of social contacts. Precisely targeted vaccination, combined with pre-existing immunity, and public health measures can limit the infection to isolated hotspots inside the population, as well as significantly delay and lower the infection peak.

AB  - Within this manuscript we generalize the two recently obtained results of O. Popescu and G. Stan, regarding the F-contractions in complete, ordinary metric space to 0-complete partial metric space and 0-complete metric-like space. As Popescu and Stan we use less conditions than D. Wardovski did in his paper from 2012, and we introduce, with the help of one of our lemmas, a new method of proving the results in fixed point theory. Requiring that the function F only be strictly increasing, we obtain for consequence new families of contractive conditions that cannot be found in the existing literature. Note that our results generalize and complement many well-known results in the fixed point theory. Also, at the end of the paper, we have stated an application of our theoretical results for solving fractional differential equations. © 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.

AB  - Transition metal dichalcogenides attract considerable attention due to a variety of interesting properties, including long-range magnetism in nanocrystals. Here we investigate the magnetic, thermal, and electrical properties of an FeTe2 single crystal with iron vacancy defects. Magnetic measurements show a paramagnetic state and the absence of magnetic order with low anisotropy in the magnetic susceptibility. Fe 3d orbitals are well hybridized, contributing to the bad metal electrical resistivity. Observed thermal conductivity values below room temperature are rather low and comparable to those of high-performance thermoelectric materials. Our results indicate that FeTe2 can form in a highly defective marcasite crystal structure which can be exploited in future materials design.
