Article Title: Reduced Cell Adhesion on LightPLAS-Coated Implant Surfaces in a Three-Dimensional Bioreactor System

doi: 10.3390/ijms241411608

Figure Lengend Snippet: Scheme of the multi-stage coating procedure using the LightPLAS-coating technology. In the first step, the metal surface was cleaned and activated by vacuum ultraviolet radiation. Afterwards, a thin layer of PDMS was applied to the surface via aerosol application. Homogenisation of samples was achieved by IR irradiation. In the next step, VUV irradiation lead to a cross-linking on the surface, yielding a hydrophilic functional layer, which was finally grafted with HMDSO to generate a hydrophobic surface.

Article Snippet: In the first step, the surfaces were cleaned with methyl ethyl ketone (C 4 H 8 O) in an ultrasonic basin and subsequently with isopropanol (C 3 H 8 O) and activated by vacuum ultraviolet radiation (central wavelength at 172 nm, type Xeradex ® , Radium Lampenwerk Wipperfürth, Wipperfürth, Germany) in air atmosphere at 244 mJ/cm 2 .

Article Title: GOES‐R Series X‐Ray Sensor (XRS): 1. Design and Pre‐Flight Calibration

doi: 10.1029/2024JA032925

Figure Lengend Snippet: The GOES‐16 X‐Ray Sensor (XRS) modeled responsivities, as based on Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation Facility calibrations, are plotted as a function of wavelength. These spectral responsivities are convolved with the reference spectrum over the XRS bands (Equation ), and those passband responsitivites are provided in Table and used in XRS data processing.

Article Snippet: The changes for the GOES‐R XRS instrument included using Si photodiodes instead of ionization cells to improve performance, using multiple channels per X‐ray band to allow for a wider dynamic range, and providing accurate radiometric calibrations using the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation Facility in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Figure Lengend Snippet: The GOES‐18 XRS optical gain versus temperature for the EXIS A‐side and B‐side electronics. The red and orange lines are linear fits to the gains for the Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation Facility optical gain calibrations for the A‐side and B‐side, respectively. The dark diode gains are not shown because their apertures are blocked off so they can not see light. The diode names used in this figure are the same as defined for Figure .

Figure Lengend Snippet: The GOES‐17 XRS‐B2 linearity calibration at Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation Facility (SURF). (left) Beam current (BC)‐normalized signal (summed over all quadrants) versus SURF BC reveals a flat level independent of SURF BC. Blue diamonds represent individual data points, and red squares show the average values for measurements taken at different BC levels. The rollover at high BC is due to electrometer saturation. (right) Deviations from the mean normalized signal is also very flat, with ±1% dotted lines and ±2% dashed lines shown for reference.
