Abstract: Described herein are compositions and methods relating to molecular cerium-oxide nanoclusters. Described herein are methods of producing cerium-oxide nanoclusters. Described herein are cerium-oxide nanoclusters. Further described herein are cerium-oxide nanoclusters produced by methods as described herein. Methods as described herein can comprise providing a first cerium source, an organic acid, and a solvent; and mixing the cerium source and the organic acid in the presence of a solvent to create a reaction mixture at a temperature and a pressure for a period of time to create a composition of molecular cerium-oxide nanoclusters containing a plurality of molecular cerium-oxide nanoclusters.

Abstract: The detection and assay of fissionable material is carried out on a container known or suspected to have a material with at least one fissionable isotope. The material is irradiated with neutrons from two or more different neutron sources. The fission rates inducted at each irradiation energy are acquired with at least one neutron detector. A multispectral active neutron interrogation analysis (MANIA) is carried out to compare the detected fission rates of the neutron spectra with calculated fission rates where an iterative algorithm is carried out on a system of linear equations to solve for the isotopic composition of one or more isotopes to determine the presence, identity, and quantities of fissionable isotopes in said container.

Abstract: An article includes a path that extends across at least a portion of a surface of the article, the path being defined by at least one channel that traverses at least a portion of the surface or a first plurality of spaced features disposed on or in at least a portion of the surface. The first plurality of spaced features are arranged in a plurality of groupings. The groupings of features comprise repeat units, where the spaced features within a grouping are spaced apart at an average distance of about 1 nanometer to about 500 micrometers to define a path that traverses the plurality of spaced features.

Abstract: Various embodiments for image denoising using a convolutional neural network (CCN) are described. A system may include at least one computing device and program instructions stored in memory and executable in the at least one computing device that, when executed, direct the at least one computing device to implement a genetic algorithm (GA) routine that identifies and optimizes a plurality of hyperparameters for use in denoising an image using the convolutional neural network. An image may be denoised using the convolutional neural network, where the image is denoised using the hyperparameters identified and optimized in the genetic algorithm routine.

Abstract: A polysulfone has sulfone units that are separated by alkylene units in a polymer chain or a copolymer chain where the alkylene units have at least four carbons between sulfone units. The alkylene units can include an ethenylene unit separated from the sulfone units by at least one methylene units. The polysulfones can be crosslinked for enhanced thermal stability. Membranes can be formed from the polysulfones.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer instructions for virtual radiation oncology training are provided. The methods can allow for screening of many virtual patients in a clinical setting for radiation oncology training. The methods, system, and computer instructions can include receiving a medical record for a virtual patient, presenting the medical record to a trainee, receiving a treatment plan for the virtual patient from the trainee indicating an area to be treated and dose constraints, and computing one or more comparison metrics for the treatment plan.
