The Biomedical Imaging and Therapy facility of the Canadian Light Source comprises two beamlines, which together cover a wide X‐ray energy range from 13 keV up to 140 keV. The beamlines were designed with a focus on synchrotron applications in preclinical imaging and veterinary science as well as microbeam radiation therapy. While these remain a major part of the activities of both beamlines, a number of recent upgrades have enhanced the versatility and performance of the beamlines, particularly for high‐resolution microtomography experiments. As a result, the user community has been quickly expanding to include researchers in advanced materials, batteries, fuel cells, agriculture, and environmental studies. This article summarizes the beam properties, describes the endstations together with the detector pool, and presents several application cases of the various X‐ray imaging techniques available to users. The current state of the Biomedical Imaging and Therapy beamlines of the Canadian Light Source is described and new capabilities are presented.

Synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) data have been used to examine the structure of hypoxanthine, 1,7-dihydro-6H-purin-6-one (C5H4N4O), a purine base that participates in numerous metabolic processes. XAS and 1H-NMR spectroscopy were used to determine that hypoxanthine was present in its keto form (both in solid state and dissolved in an organic solvent). Rigid body refinement was performed with the Rietveld software package GSAS yielding triclinic lattice parameters of a = 7.1179 (2) Å, b = 9.7830 (3) Å, c = 10.4009 (3) Å, α = 58.876 (1)°, β = 67.609 (1)°, and γ = 71.937 (2)° (C5H4N4O, Z = 4, space group P $\\bar 1$ ).

The court carefully compared the images generated by the defendant's website with the copyrighted Ultraman artistic figures to ascertain whether the claimed copyrights were infringed. a. Infringement of Reproduction Right The court determined that the defendant did infringe upon the reproduction right of the Ultraman work, as the Al-generated images substantially replicated the original expression of the \"Ultraman\" artistic figures without permission, and the defendant had likely accessed the well-known Ultraman artistic figures before. b. Infringement of Adaptation Right Under Chinese law the adaptation right prevents others from altering the work without the authorization of the copyright owner to create a new work of original creation. The court found that the defendant had infringed upon the adaptation right of the Ultraman artistic figures, as the generated images partially retained the original expression of the work while introducing new features. c. Infringement of Information Network Communication Right The information network communication right prevents others from making the work available to the public by wired or wireless means without the authorization of the copyright owner, so that the public can access the work at a time and place of their choosing. Ceasing Infringement Action a. Preventing Generation of Similar Images The court dismissed the defendant's argument that its AI painting service was outsourced to a third-party provider whose product is connected via a programmable interface to the defendant's website. The finding that operators can be liable for outputs created using these systems will be of concern, although the low level of compensation awarded and Court's approach to requiring the implementation of AI governance measures in limiting damages exposure will offer some reassurance that the Chinese courts take a pragmatic approach to resolving these issues.

Katharine Stephens and Toby Bond of Bird & Bird examine the horizontal data access aspects of the EU’s draft Data Act and their impact on IP rights

Doug Sanford claims the conflict he's having with some symphony players is due to a \"long history of problems here that go back long before I arrived.\" It's really just a diplomatic way of saying, \"It's the players' fault.\" If he really believes this, does he actually think that the best means to improve the work ethic and avoid further unrest is to sue his own players for defamation?

I wasn't worried when I first heard, on Nov. 22, that CanWest Global was setting up a countrywide office in Winnipeg. I dismissed the fears of some that it was trying to centralize the editorial content of its newspaper group. But now, I see a method of propaganda, better suited to the Middle Ages, being pushed on readers who simply want objective reporting and opinions from both sides of an issue.
