Nonthermal Food Processing Technologies: A Comprehensive Review
Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.The graphical abstract illustrates the shift from traditional thermal food preservation methods to advanced nonthermal technologies. Traditional methods, represented by heating, often compromise the nutritional and sensory quality of foods. In contrast, nonthermal approaches such as high‐pressure processing (HPP), pulsed electric field (PEF ...

Validation of Geant4-based Radioactive Decay Simulation
, 2013 Radioactive decays are of concern in a wide variety of applications using Monte-Carlo simulations. In order to properly estimate the quality of such simulations, knowledge of the accuracy of the decay simulation is required.

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.What's New? The 1986 Chernobyl accident led to widespread radioactive contamination across parts of Europe, with elevated childhood leukaemia rates observed in heavily affected areas of Ukraine. Data on long‐term haematological and other non‐thyroid cancer risk in the general population in heavily contaminated regions, however, remain limited.

Impact of E‐Beam Sterilization on Bioglass Composite Shape Memory Scaffolds
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.Electron beam (E‐beam) sterilization is an attractive alternative to conventional methods (e.g., ethylene oxide) to sterilize medical devices such as scaffolds used to heal bone defects. Herein, the impact of E‐beam sterilization on the properties of “self‐fitting” shape memory polymer (SMP) scaffolds prepared from resorbable polyesters and a bioglass ...

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING AND LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT, 2008 137Cs vertical migration in soil was evaluated using two methods: evaluating migration parameters using the quasi‐diffusion model, and modelling vertical migration using VS2DI software package, which is intended for simulating transport of pollution in different types of soil. 137Cs distribution in soil was compared in elevated contamination “spots” in

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.Alendronate‐based copolymers for Nd and Ce recovery. ABSTRACT Bisphosphonic acid groups are emerging as promising functionalities for actinide decontamination, due to their high density of chelating sites. However, the chemistry of bisphosphonate (in particular alendronate) materials remains complex and underexplored.
