Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Cosmogenic Activation in Double Beta Decay Experiments
Universe, 2020 Double beta decay is a very rare nuclear process and, therefore, experiments intended to detect it must be operated deep underground and in ultra-low background conditions. Long-lived radioisotopes produced by the previous exposure of materials to cosmic

The usefulness of SPECT-CT with radioisotope-labeled leukocytes in diagnosing lead-dependent infective endocarditis [PDF]
Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine, 2018 Lead-dependent infective endocarditis (LDIE) is a life-threatening complication of permanent transvenous cardiac pacing. According to the 2015 European Society of Cardiology (ECS) guidelines, the diagnosis of LDIE is based on the modified Duke criteria (MDC), while single-photon emission computed tomography with conventional computed tomography (SPECT ...

Production of radioisotopes within a plasma focus device [PDF]
Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2005 In recent years, research conducted in the US and in Italy has demonstrated production of radioisotopes in plasma focus devices, and particularly, on what could be termed "endogenous" production, to wit, production within the plasma it self, as opposed ...

Nondestructive Determination of Lead, Cadmium, Tin, Antimony, and Barium in Ceramic Glazes by Radioisotope X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry [PDF]
Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL, 1996 Abstract Quantitation capabilities of radioisotope X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (RXRFS) for determining lead, cadmium, tin, antimony, and barium in ceramic glazes were investigated. Twenty-one airdried glazes and 85 fired glazes on test tiles were analyzed by using 109Cd and 57Co excitation sources.
