This project concerned with the development at ENEA-INMRI of new in-situ 4πβ(LS) − λ coincidence detection system for activity measurement of the short half-life radionuclides used in Nuclear Medicine. The hardware of the new portable 4πβ(LS) − λ coincidence detection system was implemented at ENEA-INMRI, in collaboration with Catania University and INFN, by adding a gamma channel on the existing TDCR portable detector available at ENEA-INMRI. A new data analysis software was developed at CAEN, independently from an existing one elaborated at ENEA.INMRI, in order to analyse the data recorded in list-mode by the new detector equipped with the CAEN desktop digitizer DT5720. The activity for short half-life radionuclides used in nuclear medicine can be then computed. Two primary activity measurement TDCR and 4πβ(LS) − λ coincidence methods were then used to determine the activity of 18F at ENEA-INMRI. The TDCR parameter is measured for the 18F standard solution using both CAEN and ENEA-INMRI data analysis software.

Cecilia Bartoli celebrates the 200th birthday of Maria Malibran with her personal tribute to Maria Malibran, one of the most famous opera singers of the 19th century.'The Barcelona Concert', performed in the stunning Palau de la Musica Catalana, features the Barcelona concert from the ongoing 'Maria' album tour 'La Rivoluzione Romantica'.

Each year, the traditional Festive Opera Gala combines real musical delight and the joy of charity. The gala, which is organised for the benefit of the German AIDS-Fund, has for years been one of the social highlights on the German agenda. The soloists of the 2005 Gala are Lucia Aliberti, Marcelo Alvarez, Lado Ataneli, Maria Guleghina, Michaela Kaune and Anatoli Kotscherga.

We measured the radiation tolerance of commercially available diamonds grown by the Chemical Vapor Deposition process by measuring the charge created by a 120 GeV hadron beam in a 50 μm pitch strip detector fabricated on each diamond sample before and after irradiation. We irradiated one group of samples with 70 MeV protons, a second group of samples with fast reactor neutrons (defined as energy greater than 0.1 MeV), and a third group of samples with 200 MeV pions, in steps, to (8.8±0.9) × 1015 protons/cm2, (1.43 ± 0.14) × 1016 neutrons/cm2, and (6.5 ± 1.4) × 1014 pions/cm2, respectively. By observing the charge induced due to the separation of electron–hole pairs created by the passage of the hadron beam through each sample, on an event-by-event basis, as a function of irradiation fluence, we conclude all datasets can be described by a first-order damage equation and independently calculate the damage constant for 70 MeV protons, fast reactor neutrons, and 200 MeV pions. We find the damage constant for diamond irradiated with 70 MeV protons to be 1.62 ± 0.07(stat) ± 0.16(syst) × 10–18 cm2/(p μm), the damage constant for diamond irradiated with fast reactor neutrons to be 2.65 ± 0.13(stat) ± 0.18(syst) × 10–18 cm2/(n μm), and the damage constant for diamond irradiated with 200 MeV pions to be 2.0 ± 0.2(stat) ± 0.5(syst) × 10–18 cm2/(π μm). The damage constants from this measurement were analyzed together with our previously published 24 GeV proton irradiation and 800 MeV proton irradiation damage constant data to derive the first comprehensive set of relative damage constants for Chemical Vapor Deposition diamond. We find 70 MeV protons are 2.60 ± 0.29 times more damaging than 24 GeV protons, fast reactor neutrons are 4.3 ± 0.4 times more damaging than 24 GeV protons, and 200 MeV pions are 3.2 ± 0.8 more damaging than 24 GeV protons. We also observe the measured data can be described by a universal damage curve for all proton, neutron, and pion irradiations we performed of Chemical Vapor Deposition diamond. Finally, we confirm the spatial uniformity of the collected charge increases with fluence for polycrystalline Chemical Vapor Deposition diamond, and this effect can also be described by a universal curve.

A comprehensive guide to Bellini's LA SONNAMBULA (The Sleepwalker), featuring Principal Characters in the opera, Brief Story Synopsis, Story Narrative with Music Highlight Examples, and an insightful and in depth Commentary and Analysis by Burton D. Fisher, noted opera author and lecturer.

Vincent Paterson's camera and imagination have given Anna Netrebko the scope to embrace five totally different characters within about an hour's screen time. Revealing her true personality through an extensive and intimate interview on childhood, education, career and private matters, she then convinces the viewer as a gifted performer in her portrayals of Mozart's Donna Anna, Bellini's Amina, Gounod's Marguerite, Dvorák's Rusalka, and Puccini's Musetta. The visual language of this portrait reflects a contemporary approach of introducing one of the most exceptional sopranos of our time to a wider audience.
