Abstract: In this study, morphological, microstructural and phase changes of four types of tungsten materials after exposure to dense deuterium plasma were examined. The microstructures of the prepared materials mutually differ by the porosity, grain size and phase content. It was found that inherent porosity of sintered materials leads to a specific mechanism of erosion and might be a significant source of dust in the case of materials with higher porosity. Further, a preferential erosion of the dispersed particles by melting and evaporation and subsequent formation of thin film on the surface of W-Y2O3 was described as well.

Abstract: Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research / A 887, 150 - 168 (2018). doi:10.1016/j.nima.2018.01.016, A highly granular electromagnetic calorimeter with scintillator strip readout is being developed for future linear collider experiments. A prototype of 21.5 $X_0$depth and $180 \times 180$ $mm^2$ transverse dimensions was constructed, consisting of 2160 individually read out $10\times 45\times 3$ $mm^3$ scintillator strips. This prototype was tested using electrons of 2–32 $Ge V$ at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility in 2009. Deviations from linear energy response were less than 1.1%, and the intrinsic energy resolution was determined to be $(12.5\pm 0.1(stat.)\pm 0.4(syst.))\%$ $/$ $\sqrt{E[Ge V]}\oplus \left( 1.2\pm 0.1(stat.)_{-0.7}^{+0.6}(syst.)\right)\%$, where the uncertainties correspond to statistical and systematic sources, respectively., Published by North-Holland Publ.

Abstract: We aimed to determine the prognostic value of troponin T (TNT) for in-hospital and 1-yr mortality in a large sample of patients with pulmonary embolism (PE). Patients presenting at the emergency department of a tertiary care centre from January 1998 to December 2006 with PE were included. A blood sample was taken at the time of presentation. To determine in-hospital and 1-yr mortality, data from the hospital records and the national death register were used. TNT was determined in 563 out of 737 patients with proven PE. TNT was elevated (>0.03 ng x mL(-1)) in 27%. In-hospital survival was 79% in TNT-positive patients compared with 94% in TNT-negative patients (p

Abstract: We report upon the performance of an analog hadron calorimeter prototype, where plastic scintillator tiles are read out with wavelength-shifting fibers coupled to avalanche photodiodes. This prototype configuration has been tested using a positron beam at DESY with energies between 1 and 6 GeV. We present different detector calibration methods, show measurements for noise, linearity, and energy resolution and discuss gain monitoring with an LED system. The results are in good agreement with our simulation studies and previous measurements using silicon photomultiplier readout.

Abstract: We report on the design, construction and performance of a prototype for a high-granularity tile hadronic calorimeter for a future international linear collider detector. Scintillating tiles are read out via wavelength-shifting fibers that guide the scintillation light to a novel photodetector, the silicon photomultiplier. A prototype has been tested using a positron test beam at DESY. The results are compared with a reference prototype calorimeter equipped with multichannel vacuum photomultipliers. Detector calibration, noise, linearity and stability are discussed, and the energy response in a 1–6 GeV positron beam is compared with simulations. The present results demonstrate that the silicon photomultiplier is well-suited as photodetectors in calorimeters and thus has been selected for the construction of a 1 m 3 calorimeter prototype to operate in hadron beams.

Abstract: The electronic system developed for the SpaCal lead/scintillating-fibre calorimeters of the H1 detector in operation at the HERA ep collider is described in detail and the performance achieved during H1 data-taking is presented. The 10 MHz bunch crossing rate of HERA puts severe constraints on the requirements of the electronics. The energy and time readout are performed respectively with a 14-bit dynamic range and with a resolution of about 0.4 ns. The trigger branch consists of a nanosecond-resolution calorimetric time-of-flight for background rejection and an electron trigger based on analog `sliding windows'. The on-line background rejection currently achieved is o(10**6). The electron trigger allows a low energy trigger threshold to be set at about 0.50 +/- 0.08 (RMS) GeV with an efficiency >99.9%. The energy and time performance of the readout and trigger electronics is based on a newly-developed low noise (sigma_noise ca. 0.4 MeV) wideband (f < 200 MHz) preamplifier located at the output of the photomultipliers which are used for the fibre light readout in the ca. 1 Tesla magnetic field of H1.

Abstract: Calorimeters with a high granularity are a fundamental requirement of the Particle Flow paradigm. This paper focuses on the prototype of a hadron calorimeter with analog readout, consisting of thirty-eight scintillator layers alternating with steel absorber planes. The scintillator plates are finely segmented into tiles individually read out via Silicon Photomultipliers. The presented results are based on data collected with pion beams in the energy range from 8GeV to 100GeV. The fine segmentation of the sensitive layers and the high sampling frequency allow for an excellent reconstruction of the spatial development of hadronic showers. A comparison between data and Monte Carlo simulations is presented, concerning both the longitudinal and lateral development of hadronic showers and the global response of the calorimeter. The performance of several GEANT4 physics lists with respect to these observables is evaluated. Calorimeters with a high granularity are a fundamentalrequirement of the Particle Flow paradigm.

Abstract: A prototype module for an International Linear Collider (ILC) detector was built, installed, and tested between 2006 and 2009 at CERN and Fermilab as part of the CALICE test beam program, in order to study the possibilities of extending energy sampling behind a hadronic calorimeter and to study the possibilities of providing muon tracking. The "tail catcher/muon tracker" (TCMT) is composed of 320 extruded scintillator strips (dimensions 1000 mm x 50 mm x 5 mm) packaged in 16 one-meter square planes interleaved between steel plates. The scintillator strips were read out with wavelength shifting fibers and silicon photomultipliers. The planes were arranged with alternating horizontal and vertical strip orientations. Data were collected for muons and pions in the energy range 6 GeV to 80 GeV. Utilizing data taken in 2006, this paper describes the design and construction of the TCMT, performance characteristics, and a beam-based evaluation of the ability of the TCMT to improve hadronic energy resolution in a prototype ILC detector. For a typical configuration of an ILC detector with a coil situated outside a calorimeter system with a thickness of 5.5 nuclear interaction lengths, a TCMT would improve relative energy resolution by 6-16 % for pions between 20 and 80 GeV., 23 pages, 18 figures, 4 tables, submitted to JINST

Abstract: The CALICE collaboration is studying the design of high performance electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters for future International Linear Collider detectors. For the hadronic calorimeter, one option is a highly granular sampling calorimeter with steel as absorber and scintillator layers as active material. High granularity is obtained by segmenting the scintillator into small tiles individually read out via silicon photo-multipliers (SiPM). A prototype has been built, consisting of thirty-eight sensitive layers, segmented into about eight thousand channels. In 2007 the prototype was exposed to positrons and hadrons using the CERN SPS beam, covering a wide range of beam energies and incidence angles. The challenge of cell equalization and calibration of such a large number of channels is best validated using electromagnetic processes. The response of the prototype steel-scintillator calorimeter, including linearity and uniformity, to electrons is investigated and described.

One of the main objectives of the CALICE program is to validate the Monte Carlo tools available for the design of a full-sized detector. The interactions of pions in the Si-W calorimeter are therefore confronted with the predictions of various physical models implemented in the GEANT4 simulation framework.

Abstract: An analog hadron calorimeter (AHCAL) prototype of 5.3 nuclear interaction lengths thickness has been constructed by members of the CALICE Collaboration. The AHCAL prototype consists of a 38-layer sandwich structure of steel plates and highly-segmented scintillator tiles that are read out by wavelength-shifting fibers coupled to SiPMs. The signal is amplified and shaped with a custom-designed ASIC. A calibration/monitoring system based on LED light was developed to monitor the SiPM gain and to measure the full SiPM response curve in order to correct for non-linearity. Ultimately, the physics goals are the study of hadron shower shapes and testing the concept of particle flow. The technical goal consists of measuring the performance and reliability of 7608 SiPMs. The AHCAL was commissioned in test beams at DESY and CERN. The entire prototype was completed in 2007 and recorded hadron showers, electron showers and muons at different energies and incident angles in test beams at CERN and Fermilab., Comment: 36 pages, 32 figures

Abstract: A prototype Silicon-Tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) for an International Linear Collider (ILC) detector was installed and tested during summer and autumn 2006 at CERN. The detector had 6480 silicon pads of dimension 1x1 cm^2. Data were collected with electron beams in the energy range 6 to 45 GeV. The analysis described in this paper focuses on electromagnetic shower reconstruction and characterises the ECAL response to electrons in terms of energy resolution and linearity. The detector is linear to within approximately the 1% level and has a relative energy resolution of (16.6 +- 0.1)/ \sqrt{E(GeV}) + 1.1 +- 0.1 (%). The spatial uniformity and the time stability of the ECAL are also addressed., 21 pages, 17 figs

22. Straightforward synthesis of complex polymeric architectures with ultra-high chain density.

Author: Gupta S, Janata M, Čadová E, and Raus V
Abstract: Synthesis of complex polymeric architectures (CPAs) via reversible-deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) currently relies on the rather inefficient attachment of monofunctional initiation/transfer sites onto CPA precursors. This drawback seriously limits the overall functionality of the resulting (macro)initiators and, consequently, also the total number of installable polymeric chains, which represents a significant bottleneck in the design of new polymeric materials. Here, we show that the (macro)initiator functionality can be substantially amplified by using trichloroacetyl isocyanate as a highly efficient vehicle for the rapid and clean introduction of trichloroacetyl groups (TAGs) into diverse precursors. Through extensive screening of polymerization conditions and comprehensive NMR and triple-detection SEC studies, we demonstrate that TAGs function as universal trifunctional initiators of copper-mediated RDRP of different monomer classes, affording low-dispersity polymers in a wide molecular weight range. We thus unlock access to a whole new group of ultra-high chain density CPAs previously inaccessible via simple RDRP protocols. We highlight new opportunities in CPA synthesis through numerous examples, including the de novo one-pot synthesis of a novel "star-on-star" CPA, the preparation of β-cyclodextrin-based 45-arm star polymers, and facile grafting from otherwise problematic cellulose substrates both in solution and from surface, obtaining effortlessly ultra-dense, ultra-high-molecular weight bottle-brush copolymers and thick spatially-controlled polymeric coatings, respectively., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest., (This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry.)

23. Sulfonated polystyrenes: pH and Mg 2+ -insensitive amphiphilic copolymers for detergent-free membrane protein isolation.

Author: Janata M, Gupta S, Čadová E, Angelisová P, Krishnarjuna B, Ramamoorthy A, Hořejší V, and Raus V
Abstract: Amphiphilic polymers are increasingly applied in the detergent-free isolation and functional studies of membrane proteins. However, the carboxylate group present in the structure of many popular variants, such as styrene-maleic acid (SMA) copolymers, brings limitations in terms of polymer sensitivity to precipitation at acidic pH or in the presence of divalent metal cations. Herein, we addressed this problem by replacing carboxylate with the more acidic sulfonate groups. To this end, we synthesized a library of amphiphilic poly[styrene- co -(sodium 4-styrene sulfonate)] copolymers (termed SSS), differing in their molecular weight and overall polarity. Using model cell membranes (Jurkat), we identified two copolymer compositions (SSS-L30 and SSS-L36) that solubilized membranes to an extent similar to SMA. Interestingly, the density gradient ultracentrifugation/SDS-PAGE/Western blotting analysis of cell lysates revealed a distribution of studied membrane proteins in the gradient fractions that was different than for SMA-solubilized membranes. Importantly, unlike SMA, the SSS copolymers remained soluble at low pH and in the presence of Mg 2+ ions. Additionally, the solubilization of DMPC liposomes by the lead materials was studied by turbidimetry, DLS, SEC, and high-resolution NMR, revealing, for SSS-L36, the formation of stable particles (nanodiscs), facilitated by the direct hydrophobic interaction of the copolymer phenyls with lipid acyl chains., Competing Interests: The authors declare the following financial interests/personal relationships which may be considered as potential competing interests: Vaclav Horejsi reports financial support was provided by Czech Science Foundation.

24. Tailoring Butyl Methacrylate/Methacrylic Acid Copolymers for the Solubilization of Membrane Proteins: The Influence of Composition and Molecular Weight.

Abstract: Low-molecular weight (MW) amphiphilic copolymers have been recently introduced as a powerful tool for the detergent-free isolation of cell membrane proteins. Herein, a screening approach is used to identify a new copolymer type for this application. Via a two-step ATRP/acidolysis procedure, a 3 × 3 matrix of well-defined poly[(butyl methacrylate)-co-(methacrylic acid)] copolymers (denoted BMAA) differing in their MW and ratio of hydrophobic (BMA) and hydrophilic (MAA) units is prepared. Subsequently, using the biologically relevant model (T-cell line Jurkat), two compositions of BMAA copolymers are identified that solubilize cell membranes to an extent comparable to the industry standard, styrene-maleic acid copolymer (SMA), while avoiding the potentially problematic phenyl groups. Surprisingly, while only the lowest-MW variant of the BMA/MAA 2:1 composition is effective, all the copolymers of the BMA/MAA 1:1 composition are found to solubilize the model membranes, including the high-MW variant (MW of 14 000). Importantly, the density gradient ultracentrifugation/sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis/Western blotting experiments reveal that the BMA/MAA 1:1 copolymers disintegrate the Jurkat membranes differently than SMA, as demonstrated by the different distribution patterns of two tested membrane protein markers. This makes the BMAA copolymers a useful tool for studies on membrane microdomains differing in their composition and resistance to membrane-disintegrating polymers., (© 2022 Wiley-VCH GmbH.)

Abstract: Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeNPs) possess multiple redox enzyme mimetic activities in scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a potential biomedicine. These enzymatic activities of CeNPs are closely related to their surface oxidation state. Here we have reported a synthetic method to modify CeNPs' surface oxidation state by changing the conformation of the poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) polymers adsorbed onto the CeNP surface. The synthesized PAA-CeNPs exhibited the same core size, morphology, crystal structure, and colloidal stability, with the only variation being their surface oxidation state (Ce 3+ percentage). The modification mechanism can be attributed to the polymers chemisorbed onto the metal oxide surface forming a metal complexation structure. Such adsorption further modified CeNPs' surface oxidation state in a temperature-dependent manner. The series of PAA-CeNPs exhibited multiple redox enzyme mimetic activities (superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, and oxidase) directly related to their surface oxidation state. In vitro experiments showed no cytotoxic effect of these PAA-CeNPs on the osteoblastic cell line SAOS-2 at high loadings. Microscopic images confirmed the internalization of PAA-CeNPs in the cells. All tested PAA-CeNPs can reduce the basal and hydrogen peroxide-induced intracellular ROS level in the cells, indicating their effective intracellular ROS scavenging effect. However, we did not observe a positive correlation between the CeNP surface oxidation state and their capacities to reduce the intracellular ROS levels. We propose that CeNPs can maintain a dynamic state of Ce 3+ /Ce 4+ during their catalytic activities, exhibiting a non-linear correlation between the CeNP surface oxidation state and their effect on regulating the intracellular ROS level.

Abstract: The modified layout of the barrier method called liquid chromatography under limiting conditions of enthalpic interactions is presented. It enables automated quantitative separation of blends of synthetic polymers, for example the single step discrimination of both parent homopolymers from the block copolymers. Moreover, this method enables the estimation of molar mass and molar mass distribution of the block copolymer precursor. Adjacent large sequences of mobile phase of different composition are applied as barriers. They are created by a computer controlled pair of pumping systems in the form of longitudinal profiles along the column. The home synthesized block copolymers polystyrene-block-poly(2-vinylpyridine) served as model examples of the method application. The adsorption retention mechanism was exploited using mesoporous bare silica gel column packing. Series of block copolymers of similar composition can be quickly handled with the method to optimize their synthesis., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest There are no competing interests to declare., (Copyright © 2021.

28. Colloidal stability and catalytic activity of cerium oxide nanoparticles in cell culture media.

Author: Ju X, Fučíková A, Šmíd B, Nováková J, Matolínová I, Matolín V, Janata M, Bělinová T, and Hubálek Kalbáčová M
Abstract: One of the biggest challenges for the biomedical applications of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeNPs) is to maintain their colloidal stability and catalytic activity as enzyme mimetics after nanoparticles enter the human cellular environment. This work examines the influences of CeNP surface properties on their colloidal stability and catalytic activity in cell culture media (CCM). Near-spherical CeNPs stabilized via different hydrophilic polymers were prepared through a wet-chemical precipitation method. CeNPs were stabilized via either electrostatic forces, steric forces, or a combination of both, generated by surface functionalization. CeNPs with electrostatic stabilization adsorb more proteins compared to CeNPs with only steric stabilization. The protein coverage further improves CeNPs colloidal stability in CCM. CeNPs with steric polymer stabilizations exhibited better resistance against agglomeration caused by the high ionic strength in CCM. These results suggest a strong correlation between CeNPs intrinsic surface properties and the extrinsic influences of the environment. The most stabilized sample in CCM is poly(acrylic acid) coated CeNPs (PAA-CeNPs), with a combination of both electrostatic and steric forces on the surface. It shows a hydrodynamic diameter of 15 nm while preserving 90% of its antioxidant activity in CCM. PAA-CeNPs are non-toxic to the osteoblastic cell line SAOS-2 and exhibit promising potential as a therapeutic alternative., Competing Interests: There are no conflicts to declare., (This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry.)

29. Nano-modified epoxy: the effect of GO-based complex structures on mechanical performance.

Author: Kelnar I, Zhigunov A, Kaprálková L, Krejčíková S, Dybal J, and Janata M
Abstract: The application of nanofillers (NFs) in multicomponent polymer systems is accompanied by important structure-directing effects that are more marked in partially miscible systems, such as polymer-modified epoxy. This study deals with rubber-modified epoxy using different combinations of GO and amine-terminated butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer (ATBN), including in situ and pre-made grafting. Moreover, GO grafted via planar epoxy groups or solely edge-localized carboxyls was used. It is shown that the grafted ATBN chains promote the assembly of GO- g -ATBN into nacre-mimicking lamellar structures instead of usual exfoliation in thermoplastics. This complex structure of elastically embedded GO leads to the best mechanical performance. It is obvious that a small concentration of the grafted polymer exceeds the contribution of a higher concentration of separately added ATBN. The results highlight the important effect of the degree of grafted chains and geometry of the internal structure of the self-assembled arrays and their effect on the mechanical performance., Competing Interests: There are no conflicts to declare., (This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry.)

Abstract: Since their addition to the polymer-architecture portfolio, gradient copolymers have attracted significant attention. Up to now, however, the existence of the intramolecular composition gradient must have been ascertained by sampling during living copolymerization because a reliable method for the detection of the composition gradient in the finalized copolymer had not been established yet. Here we show that MALDI-ToF mass spectrometry not only identifies imperfect, i.e. prematurely terminated copolymers but these copolymers can be used as "time capsules" which provide information on composition evolution and the intramolecular composition gradient., (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier B.V.

31. Local pH and Effective p K of a Polyelectrolyte Chain: Two Names for One Quantity?

Author: Murmiliuk A, Košovan P, Janata M, Procházka K, Uhlík F, and Štěpánek M
Abstract: In recent experiments, the "local pH" near polyelectrolyte chains was determined from the shift in the effective acidity constant of fluorescent pH indicators attached to the macromolecules. This indirect determination raises the question if the analyzed quantity was indeed the "local pH" and what this term actually means. In this study, we combined experiments and simulations to demonstrate that the shift in ionization constant is slightly lower than the difference between the pH and the "local pH". This offset is caused by correlations between fluctuations in chain conformation, small-ion distribution, and fluorophore ionization.

Author: Murmiliuk A, Matějíček P, Filippov SK, Janata M, Šlouf M, Pispas S, and Štěpánek M
Abstract: Formation of interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPECs) of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) bearing a fluorescent label (umbelliferone) at the chain end and poly[3,5-bis(trimethyl ammoniummethyl)-4-hydroxystyrene iodide]-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (QNPHOS-PEO) acting as a fluorescence quencher, was followed using a combination of scattering, calorimetry, microscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques. While scattering and microscopy measurements indicated formation of spherical core/corona nanoparticles with the core of the QNPHOS/PMAA complex and the PEO corona, fluorescence measurements showed that both static and dynamic quenching efficiency were increased in the nanoparticle stability region. As the dynamic quenching rate constant remained unchanged, the quenching enhancement was caused by the increase in the local concentration of QNPHOS segments in the microenvironment of the label. This finding implies that the local dynamics of PMAA end chains affecting the interaction of the label with QNPHOS segments was independent of both PMAA and QNPHOS chain conformations.

33. Decomposition of size-exclusion chromatography elution curves of complex branched polymers.

Author: Netopilík M and Janata M
Subjects: Chromatography, Gel standards, Light, Molecular Weight, Reference Standards, Scattering, Radiation, Viscosity, Chromatography, Gel methods, Polystyrenes analysis
Abstract: A new method for the decomposition of non-baseline-resolved multimodal elution curves of SEC with the concentration, light scattering and viscosity detection is presented. The method makes possible the characterization of the polymer-sample components, represented by the peaks forming multimodal elution curves, individually and reduces also the error in the calculation of molecular-weight averages. The procedure is demonstrated on narrow molecular-weight distribution polystyrene standards and their mixture as well as on a grafted polymer sample., (Copyright © 2014 Elsevier B.V.

34. Self-assembly of poly(4-methylstyrene)-g-poly(methacrylic acid) graft copolymer in selective solvents for grafts: scattering and molecular dynamics simulation study.

Author: Stepánek M, Kosovan P, Procházka K, Janata M, Netopilík M, Plestil J, and Slouf M
Abstract: Poly(4-methylstyrene)-g-poly(methacrylic acid) (P4MS-g-PMAA) graft copolymer was synthesized by the grafting-onto method from poly(4-methylstyrene), selectively brominated on methyl groups, and "living" poly(tert-butyl methacrylate). The average degree of polymerization of the backbone and the grafts and the average number of grafts per backbone were 251, 21, and 25, respectively. The self-assembly of P4MS-g-PMAA was studied in methanol and aqueous buffers (selective solvents for grafts). Micelles of P4MS-g-PMAA in methanol were studied by a combination of static and dynamic light scattering, TEM and SAXS. It was found that their spherical core/shell morphology resembles that of diblock copolymer micelles but they have a very low aggregation number (approximately 3) and a high cmc (approximately 0.8 mg/mL). The spherical core-shell structure revealed by SAXS was confirmed by the molecular dynamics study emulating an associate of comblike copolymers with structural parameters close to those of the experimentally studied system. Because P4MS-g-PMAA was not directly soluble in water, its aqueous solutions had to be prepared by dialysis of the methanolic solutions. In aqueous solutions, unlike in methanol, small P4MS-g-PMAA micelles (approximately 20 nm in diameter) form large secondary aggregates (approximately 100-400 nm).
