Organic Carbon Burial Rates in Muddy Temperate Shelf Sea Sediments
Abstract Muddy continental shelf sediments act as important sinks for atmospheric CO2 by accumulating organic matter, a small fraction of which is buried and stored as organic carbon (OC) over long timescales. Quantifying long‐term OC burial in shelf sediments is critical for understanding their role in climate regulation; however, this remains ...

Pan‐Arctic Peatlands Have Expanded During Recent Warming
Arctic peatland carbon is important because it represents a large carbon stock that may be vulnerable to climate change. This work explores the expansion and/or shrinkage of Arctic peatlands using observations in two north–south transects in Canada and in Europe.

Activity Levels of Polonium-210 in Tobacco and Cigarette in Iran [PDF]
Polonium-210 (210Po) is a natural contaminant of tobacco and its products. Due to its volatility and inherent adsorption properties, 210Po is one of the major potential sources of human exposure through smoking.

ABSTRACT Targeted radioligand therapy has emerged as a promising treatment option for eradicating advanced cancer forms. α‐Emitters are considered particularly promising as they can obliterate (micro)‐metastases. The α‐emitter astatine‐211 (211At) has experienced increased interest due to its favorable decay properties.

Nuclear data uncertainty analysis for the Po-210 production in MYRRHA
MYRRHA is a multi-purpose research reactor able to operate in sub-critical and critical modes and currently in the design phase at SCK•CEN. The choice of LBE was driven by its chemical stability, low melting temperature, high boiling point, low chemical ...

Analysis of Radon‐222 in Surface and Groundwater Sources in Kajiado County, Kenya
This study entailed measurement of the concentration of 222Rn in surface and subsurface water sources from Kajiado Municipality in Kenya. Kajiado County receives minimal rainfall and is not well covered by the municipal treated water network. The residents of the area mainly rely on subsurface water sources for their domestic consumption.

Abstract Background Diffusing alpha‐emitter radiation therapy (DaRT) is currently being evaluated in several clinical trials as an interstitial temporary brachytherapy source. However, determining source strength solely based on gamma spectrometry measurements of 224Ra activity has limitations. This method does not account for changes in the desorption

Flood‐Driven Turbidite Deposition in a Highstand‐Detached Submarine Canyon
Abstract Turbidites on active margins represent key archives of great earthquakes, yet turbidity currents triggered by non‐seismic events complicate paleoearthquake records and influence geochemical budgets. Sediment cores collected from highstand‐detached Astoria Canyon address whether non‐seismic turbidity currents are preserved in canyon ...
