Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) is a method to measure radiation doses using certain crystalline materials like quartz and aluminum oxide. When these materials are irradiated, electrons become trapped in imperfections in the crystal lattice. During OSL, laser light stimulates the trapped electrons to emit visible light, and the light intensity is proportional to the radiation dose. OSL dosimeters provide sensitive measurements from 1 mrem to 1000 rem and have advantages over traditional thermoluminescent dosimeters like higher precision and no requirement for heating. OSL is used for dating ancient materials and measuring radiation exposure in occupational and medical settings.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

8. INTRODUCTION TO OSL..
• IN PHYSICS, OPTICALLY STIMULATED LUMINESCENCE (OSL) IS A METHOD FOR MEASURING DOSES FROM
IONIZING RADIATION.
• THE METHOD MAKES USE OF ELECTRONS TRAPPED BETWEEN THE VALENCE AND CONDUCTION BANDS IN
THE CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE OF CERTAIN TYPES OF MATTER (SUCH AS QUARTZ, FELDSPAR, AND
ALUMINIUM OXIDE). THE TRAPPING SITES ARE IMPERFECTIONS OF THE LATTICE - IMPURITIES OR
DEFECTS.
9. PRINCIPLE
• IRRADIATION OF THE MATERIAL, STIMULATES SOME ELECTRONS INTO AN EXCITING STATE.
• DURING PROCESSING, LASER LIGHT STIMULATES THESE ELECTRONS, CAUSING THEM TO RETURN TO
THERE GROUND STATE WITH THE EMISSION OF VISIBLE LIGHT.
• THE INTENSITY OF THE VISIBLE LIGHT EMISSION IS PROPORTIONAL TO THE RADIATION DOSE RECEIVED
BY IT.
10. INSIDE SIGHT..
• THE PHENOMENOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE OSL AND THERMOLUMINESCENCE PROCESS ARE THE SAME.
• PURE CRYSTALLINE DIELECTRIC MATERIALS EITHER CONTAIN OR HAVE ADDED TRACE AMOUNTS OF CONTAMINANTS THAT FORM CRYSTAL-LATTICE IMPERFECTIONS.
• THESE IMPERFECTIONS ACT AS TRAPS FOR ELECTRONS OR HOLES AND ALSO CAN ACT AS LUMINESCENCE CENTERS, WHICH EMIT LIGHT WHEN ELECTRONS OR HOLES RECOMBINE NEAR THEM.
• AFTER IRRADIATION, FREE ELECTRONS AND HOLES ARE GENERATED THAT CAN BE TRAPPED.
• THE RECOMBINATION CENTERS IN AL2O3:C ARE MAINLY CREATED BY OXYGEN VACANCIES AND ARE CALLED F CENTERS .
• RADIATION GENERATED HOLES CAN BE TRAPPED AT THE RECOMBINATION CENTER, CREATING F+ CENTERS.
• WHEN THE CRYSTAL IS HEATED OR OPTICALLY STIMULATED, ELECTRONS CAN BE EJECTED OUT OF TRAPS AND RECOMBINE WITH HOLES AT THE F+ CENTER.
• THE RECOMBINATION ENERGY IS TRANSFERRED TO A LUMINESCENCE CENTER WHERE LIGHT IS EMITTED;
F++ELECTRON→F +420 NM LIGHT.
• IF THIS RECOMBINATION CASCADE IS INITIATED BY HEAT THEN IT IS CALLED THERMOLUMINESCENCE; IF IT IS INITIATED BY LIGHT THEN IT IS CALLED OPTICALLY STIMULATED LUMINESCENCE.

12. OSL DOSIMETRY..
• THE OSL DOSIMETER PROVIDES A NEW DEGREE OF SENSITIVITY BY GIVINGAN ACCURATE READING AS
LOW AS 1 MREM FOR X-RAY AND GAMMA RAY PHOTONS WITH ENERGIES RANGING FROM 5 KEV TO
GREATER THAN 40 MEV.
• THE OSL DOSIMETER'S MAXIMUM EQUIVALENT DOSE MEASUREMENT FOR X-RAY AND GAMMA RAY
PHOTONS IS 1000 REM.
• IN DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING THE INCREASED SENSITIVITY OF THE OSL DOSIMETER MAKES IT IDEAL FOR
MONITORING EMPLOYEES WORKING IN LOW-RADIATION ENVIRONMENTS AND FOR PREGNANT WORKERS.
13. APPLICATION OF OSL..
• OSL IS USED IN AT LEAST TWO DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS:
• OPTICAL DATING OF ANCIENT MATERIALS
• RADIATION DOSIMETRY, WHICH IS THE MEASUREMENT OF ACCUMULATED RADIATION DOSE IN THE
TISSUES OF HEALTH CARE, NUCLEAR, RESEARCH AND OTHER WORKERS, AS WELL AS IN BUILDING
MATERIALS IN REGIONS OF NUCLEAR DISASTER
14. OSL VS TLD..
THE OSL PROCESS IS NOT UNLIKE TLD. BOTH ARE BASED ON STIMULATED
LUMINESCENCE. HOWEVER OSL HAS SEVERAL ADVANTAGES OVER TLD.
WITH A MINIMUM REPORTABLE DOSE OF 1 MREM, OSL IS MORE SENSITIVE
THEN TLD.
OSL HAS PRECISION OF +-1 MREM, WHICH BEATS TLD.
15. OTHER FEATURES OF OSL INCLUDES..
NO HEATING CONTROLS FOR THE READER
NO NITROGEN REQUIRED
NO GLOW CURVE ANALYSIS REQUIRED
NO ANNEALING OVEN
SIMPLER AND MORE RELIABLE ANALYSIS INSTRUMENTATION
ROBUST AND DURABLE
MINIMAL FADE < 5% IN A YEAR.
INSENSITIVE TO ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF WATER, HEAT,
PRESSURE AND CHEMICAL CONTAMINANTS
VARY LIGHT OUTPUT TO OPTIMIZE LOW-DOSE, HIGH-DOSE, OR BOTH.
FLEXIBLE OPERATING PARAMETERS.
BEAM CROSS-OVER.
SIMPLE, LONG-LIVED LED ILLUMINATION.
SYSTEM PROVIDES IMMEDIATE DOSE RESULT.
LESS MAINTENANCE AND EASE OF OPERABILITY THAN TLD READERS.
16.
17.
18. CONCLUSION..
• OSLDS EXHIBIT HIGH PRECISION AND ACCURACY IN MEASURING DOSE, ARESMALL IN SIZE, HAVE NO
ENERGY DEPENDENCE, HAVE NO DEPENDENCE ON IRRADIATION ANGLE, AND CAN BE READ LONG AFTER
IRRADIATION. OSLD CAN SUBSTITUTE FOR TLD AND DIODES FOR IN VIVO DOSIMETRY AND ROUTINE
CLINICAL DOSE MEASUREMENTS. BECAUSE OF THEIR VERY LOW INTRINSIC BUILDUP OSLDS ARE IDEAL
FOR MEASURING SURFACE DOSE. WITH PROPER HANDLING OSLDS CAN BE A PERMANENT RECORD OF
MEASURED DOSE, THEY ARE REUSABLE, THE READOUT PROCESS IS LESS THAN 1 MIN, AND THE READOUT
IS BY OPTICAL STIMULATION VERSUS HIGH TEMPERATURE SO THE DOSIMETER CAN BE MADE OUT OF
INEXPENSIVE PLASTIC.
