Low dose ionising radiation produces too few ROS to directly affect antioxidant concentrations in cells [PDF]

, 2012
It has been hypothesized that radiation-induced oxidative stress is the mechanism for a wide range of negative impacts on biota living in radioactively contaminated areas around Chernobyl.

“You just want to re‐open our biggest wounds, don't you?”: Homeplace ethnography as (polluted) environmental method

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract When I was 12, my family told me a story about their community falling apart and coming together, a time when someone tried putting a nuclear facility in their (our?) hometown. Since we moved when I was too young to remember, the story had little significance until I embarked on a “hometown” ethnographic journey for my dissertation.

Indoor UAV for Nuclear Investigation: Experimental Qualification and Field Feedback

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Indoor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have recently gained interest for inspection and investigation tasks in hazardous environments. In the nuclear field, indoor UAVs offer promising capabilities to reduce workers' exposure to ionizing radiation while accessing confined or elevated areas.

How to stay wild in a highly domesticated landscape? Spatiotemporal behaviour of wolves in Germany

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wild animals can adapt to the increasing presence of humans by either becoming accustomed to it or by avoiding humans by spatiotemporal separation. The return of the wolf to the German lowlands raised the opportunity to study wolf behaviour in one of the most densely populated and fragmented countries in Europe, in an area where topography offers no ...

Muroid rodent communities in areas with varying degrees of fire damage: the Chernobyl polygons

Theriologia Ukrainica
As a result of climate change, forest fires are becoming a common factor in the dynamics of ecosystems in the forest zone of Ukraine, but the assessment of the consequences of this shift in the ecological situation is in the process of pilot studies.

Banking Biodiversity: Ex Vivo Solutions for a Planet in Crisis

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Genetic diversity is being lost faster than it can be cataloged. Biobanking preserves cells, gametes, and DNA as recoverable material for future conservation use, and delivers most when collections are established proactively rather than deployed once populations are already critically depleted.

Worrying Expertise: Representation and Expert Knowledge in Trade Unions

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Studies of professionalisation, oligarchy and expertise have asked how expertise affects democratic representation in professionalised membership organisations. This article approaches that problem from the other direction by examining the role of representation in the production of expert knowledge.
