The GSI facilities of CRYRING and HiTRAP are used for decelerating ion beams to low energies. This deceleration phase is preceded by the generation and acceleration of those ions. [...]

The dynamic time-over-threshold (dToT) method is a timing-based readout technique for pulse-height measurement of radiation detectors. After the leading-edge detection, the discriminator threshold is raised to allow precise pulse-height estimation over a wide dynamic range. [...]

Osteosarcoma is an aggressive bone malignancy with high metastatic potential to the lungs. CTCs, as seeds of metastasis, play an important role in the spread of this cancer, and, therefore, their isolation, culture, and gene expression analysis promises valuable insights into the progression and metastatic cascade of osteosarcoma.
