Inexpensive, commonly used NaI:TI scintillators have 50% of the market share, but due to mediocre light output of 44,000 photons/MeV and 6.5% energy resolution (at 662 keV) their application is limited. Proposed technology promises to improve NaI:TI-based scintillators' properties by providing unparalleled output while maintaining low costs. To do so a combinatorial approach was used for the discovery of scintillation materials yielding the highest luminescence and lowest energy resolution. In testing, the engineered crystals of NaI:Tl attained a light output of 52,000 photons/MeV and energy resolution of 4.9% (at 662 keV). Crossing below the 5.0% energy resolution mark provides a specific direction for the development of even better future samples.

Handover for 5G Networks using Fuzzy Logic: A ReviewAI Publications
The future organization world will be inserted with various ages of remote advances, like 4G and 5G. Simultaneously, the advancement of new gadgets outfitted with different interfaces is filling quickly as of late. As a result, the upward handover convention is created to give pervasive availability in the heterogeneous remote climate. Handover might be a fundamental a piece of any remote Mobile Communication Network. It is a way of mobile communication and portable communication during which cellular broadcast is relocate from one base station to another without losing connection to the mobile communication. Handover is one problem on Wireless Network (WN) and to unravel this problem various sorts of HO methods utilized in network. Fuzzy logic, Machine Learning and Optimization are the handover solving methods that are studied during this paper. This paper is a review of the handoff techniques. Fuzzy logic is that the best technique to unravel the HO problem and it's further implemented in 4G/5G network.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

“I find last month’s announcement of the AIR U initiative very exciting, because we all recognize the fact that
universities that are located in certain rural areas, are struggling to find access to affordable broadband
networks. By employing unlicensed TV White Space services, the AIR U initiative can offer a low-cost means to
provide these universities with increased coverage and capacity”- FCC Commissioner Clyburn , July 2012 FCC

7. New Beachfront Spectrum is Available
Unassigned TV Channels freed as a result of the FCC transition to Digital TV
Channels vary by market, with large amounts of spectrum in small/mid-size cities and rural communities.
Now available on an unlicensed basis (like WiFi) & intended for broadband applications
“Super WiFi”: Much lower frequency (than current WiFi) provides for:
Signal coverage over far larger areas (up to 5 km vs. 100 meters for WiFi)
Signals penetrate or bend around obstacles (trees, buildings, hills) far better than higher frequencies
(like broadcast TV)
An ideal, inexpensive, ‘last mile’ solution – adding coverage and capacity where fiber is not close by.
