Sweet taste of heavy water. [PDF]
Commun Biol, 2021 Abstract Hydrogen to deuterium isotopic substitution has only a minor effect on physical and chemical properties of water and, as such, is not supposed to influence its neutral taste. Here we conclusively demonstrate that humans are, nevertheless, able to distinguish D 2 O ...

A proposal for a new U-D2O criticality benchmark: RB reactor core 39/1978 [PDF]
Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2012 In 1958, the experimental RB reactor was designed as a heavy water critical assembly with natural uranium metal rods. It was the first nuclear fission critical facility at the Boris Kidrič (now Vinča) Institute of Nuclear Sciences in the former ...

To Divide or Not to Divide? How Deuterium Affects Growth and Division of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Biomolecules, 2021 Extensive in vivo replacement of hydrogen by deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen, induces a distinct stress response, reduces cell growth and impairs cell division in various organisms.

The Hydration State of Bone Tissue Affects Contrast in Neutron Tomographic Images
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022 Neutron tomography has emerged as a promising imaging technique for specific applications in bone research. Neutrons have a strong interaction with hydrogen, which is abundant in biological tissues, and they can penetrate through dense materials such as ...

Soil heavy metal contamination and acid deposition: experimental approach on two forest soils in Hunan, Southern China [PDF]
, 2005 In 1985, a tailing dam collapsed in Hunan province (southern China) leading to soil contamination by heavy metals from the tailings waste. Moreover, acid deposition becomes more and more serious in this area. In this context, two forest soils (a red soil

Heavy metal distribution in some French forest soils: evidence for atmospheric contamination [PDF]
, 2003 This study is one of very few dealing with the distribution and the origin of heavy metals in French soils from a priori non-polluted forest areas. The abundance of heavy metals measured in these soils decreases as follows: Cr) Zn)Pb)Ni)Cu)Co4Cd. Total
