The invention relates to a safely handleable radioprotective container (10) for mounting at least one radiation source (11) of a radiometric measuring system (1) in an immersion tube (12), which is to be used to measure density and/or fill level of a filling material (2) and for this purpose extends vertically into a corresponding filling material container (3). In this case, the radioprotective container (10) is distinguished by a guide arrangement (113), such as a pair of runners or a corresponding roller arrangement, as a result of which a rotation of the radioprotective container (10) about the longitudinal axis (a) thereof is prevented in the course of setting upright from the horizontal position to the set-up position. The setting upright of the radioprotective container (10) becomes correspondingly safer since in the course of setting up, according to the invention, the container rolls via the guide arrangement (113), as a result of which lateral tilting is prevented. Particularly in the case of a heavy radioprotective container (10) having a weight of more than 500 kg, this considerably increases safety at work.

The invention relates to a method for quantifying haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), in which method at least one sample comprising cells, which each comprise at least one nucleic acid molecule, is provided, and the methylation level of at least one CpG dinucleotide within at least one specific region of the nucleic acid molecule is determined. The determined methylation level of the CpG dinucleotide then indicates the proportion of haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in the sample. According to the invention, the specific region is selected from the group consisting of the following genes: serine/threonine kinase 17a (STK17A); myosin ID (MYOID); nuclear body protein SP140 (SP140); CD48 molecule (CD48); and nuclear factor of activated T-cells 1 (NFATC1). The predictions made using the signature according to the invention correlate with the flow cytometric analysis of CD34+ counts in mobilised peripheral blood.

The present application belongs to the technical field of microwave antennas. Disclosed are a millimeter wave antenna, a millimeter wave antenna array, and an active module. The millimeter wave antenna comprises: a surface choke structure, a radiation metal sheet, and a metal ground provided with a feed gap, wherein the surface choke structure comprises several metal via holes provided on a dielectric substrate 7, the dielectric substrate 7 is arranged on the metal ground, and the radiation metal sheet is electrically connected to the metal ground by means of the metal via holes; and the surface choke structure is used for suppressing the interference caused by surface waves on the radiation performance of the antenna. A surface wave choke structure is used, such that the problem of skewing of a digital array antenna pattern caused by an environmental factor and surface wave interference can be effectively solved; moreover, the surface wave choke structure is arranged inside an antenna, such that a space occupied on a base material (such as a PCB and a chip package) is reduced, and the advantage of low costs is achieved.

Organotin compositions suitable for radiation based patterning have ligands providing fluorinated groups and unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds, such as C=C bonds. The fluorinated groups and unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds may or may not be located on the same ligand. Blends of precursors with different ligands provide added flexibility with respect to precursor design. Fluorinated organometallic compounds can be represented by the formula RSn(OR'), wherein R is an organo group with 1 to 31 carbon atoms with at least one C=C bond and at least one fluorine atom bonded to a carbon, with the organo group forming a C-Sn bond, wherein R' is an organo group with 1 to 10 carbon atoms. Precursors are suitable for solution based deposition or vapor based deposition.
