Non-linear relationship of cell hit and transformation probabilities in a low dose of inhaled radon progenies [PDF]
Cellular hit probabilities of alpha particles emitted by inhaled radon progenies in sensitive bronchial epithelial cell nuclei were simulated at low exposure levels to obtain useful data for the rejection or support of the linear-non-threshold (LNT ...

Wave Tracing: Generalizing The Path Integral To Wave Optics
Abstract Modeling the wave nature of light and the propagation and diffraction of electromagnetic fields is crucial for the accurate simulation of many phenomena, yet wave simulations are significantly more computationally complex than classical ray‐based models.

Soil uranium, soil gas radon and indoor radon empirical relationships in the UK and other European countries [PDF]
Least squares (LS) regression analysis is used to develop empirical relationships between uranium in the ground, radon in soil and radon in dwellings to assist in the development of a geogenic radon potential map for Europe.

Survey on differential estimators for 3d point clouds
Abstract Recent advancements in 3D scanning technologies, including LiDAR and photogrammetry, have enabled the precise digital replication of real‐world objects. These methods are widely used in fields such as GIS, robotics, and cultural heritage. However, the point clouds generated by such scans are often noisy and unstructured, posing challenges for ...

National mapping survey of indoor radon levels in the Maltese Islands (2010-2011) [PDF]
Aim: To conduct a national geographically based survey to determine the distribution of the mean annual indoor radon gas concentration levels in dwellings in the Maltese Islands and map these levels; to identify any areas with annual mean indoor radon ...

ABSTRACT Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disease characterised by chronic hyperglycaemia, whereas obesity is a major risk factor which increases morbidity and mortality. Treatments that alter white adipose tissue to express a metabolically active brown adipose phenotype in rats may offer adjunct treatment in people with T2DM.
