ABSTRACT: The uranium-238 radioactive series is a well-known multi-step decay chain involving multiple alpha and beta-negative decays, ultimately resulting in the stable lead-206 isotope. In this work, we use computational simulations with Monte Carlo method to analyze the stochastic timing of decay events and to evaluate hypothetical decay pathways. Initially, by considering only mass and charge conservation, we identify 3,003 theoretical decay chains. However, many of these chains are unphysical due to energy constraints and nuclear stability. By incorporating additional nuclear physics principles, such as decay energy and nuclear shell stability, we confirm that only the well-established uranium-238 decay series is physically possible. This approach demonstrates a practical application of computational techniques to analyze nuclear decay chains.

Keywords: Uranium-238; Radioactive series; Nuclear decay; Simulation; Monte Carlo method.

ABSTRACT: This comprehensive study evaluated the dosimetric and clinical outcomes of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT), intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in the treatment of localized prostate cancer. The analysis included 13 intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients (PSA levels 4-15 ng/mL, clinical stages T2a-T2c) who underwent treatment planning using five-field and seven-field 3D-CRT, five-field and seven-field IMRT, and single-arc VMAT (RapidArc) techniques. Detailed dosimetric......

ABSTRACT: This paper shows the current theories that support or refute the end of the universe.Using the Friedmann equations, which are derived from Einstein's field equations, this work examines the expansion, curvature, and the roles of energy and dark matter in determining the fate of the universe. The equations were examined using the assumptions of homogeneity and isotropy in conjunction with observational data from projects such as WMAP and COBE, and......

Keywords: Friedmann equations, critical density, curvature of the universe, dark matter, dark energy, big freeze, big crunch.

ABSTRACT: A potential new fundamental force involving the detection of unusual particle decay at a high energy level of 4.8 TeV during experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider was recently discovered by Google AI. It suggests the presence of particles or interactions that do not fit within the current Standard Model of physics. On the other hand, according to Yangton and Yington Theory, all the subatomic particles in Standard Model including quarks, electron...
