Abstract: In variants, a method for analog product determination can include: determining functional property feature values for a target and determining variable values for a prototype based on the functional property feature values for the target.

Abstract: In variants, the method for determining a sample recommendation can include: determining characteristic values for a sample, determining target characteristic values, determining a similarity score for the sample based on the characteristic values for the sample and the target characteristic values, training a prediction model, and determining a sample recommendation.

Abstract: The presently claimed and disclosed inventions relate, in general, to methods of radiation dosimetry and imaging using scintillation luminescence. More particularly, materials having a scintillation luminescence response to radiation that varies with total radiation dose received can be used for dosimetry monitoring, including, but not limited to nanoparticles for in vivo, real-time dosimetry. Energy-transfer nanocomposite materials as well as methods of making and using such materials in various applications including, but not limited to, in vivo radiation dosimetry and imaging, are disclosed. More particularly, the presently claimed and disclosed inventions relate to nanoparticle scintillation luminescence particles encapsulated in hosts of the general formula BaFX and BaFX:Eu2+ where X=Cl, Br and I.

Abstract: A nanoparticle fluorescence (or upconversion) sensor comprises an electromagnetic source, a sample and a detector. The electromagnetic source emits an excitation. The sample is positioned within the excitation. At least a portion of the sample is associated with a sensory material. The sensory material receives at least a portion of the excitation emitted by the electromagnetic source. The sensory material has a plurality of luminescent nanoparticles luminescing upon receipt of the excitation with luminance emitted by the luminescent nanoparticles changing based on at least one of temperature and pressure. The detector receives at least a portion of the luminance emitted by the luminescent nanoparticles and outputs a luminance signal indicative of such luminance. The luminescence signal is correlated into a signal indicative of the atmosphere adjacent to the sensory material.
