Tough Sprouting – Impact of Cadmium on Physiological State and Germination Rate of Soybean Seeds
Seed germination is the earliest process in plant development and is crucial for further plant growth and fitness. The process is regulated by various internal and external factors, including soil pollutants such as nonessential metals.

Neutron spectrum determination of p+Be reaction for 30 MeV protons using the multi-foil activation technique [PDF]
At the NPI in Rez, the p + Be source reaction was investigated for 30 MeV proton beam and thick beryllium target. For neutron field determination of the p(30)+Be source reaction in close source-to-sample distance, the multi-foil activation technique with

Assessment of fissionable material behaviour in fission chambers [PDF]
A comprehensive study is performed in order to assess the pertinence of fission chambers coated with different fissile materials for high neutron flux detection. Three neutron scenarios are proposed to study the fast component of a high neutron flux: (i)

Facility for fast neutron irradiation tests of electronics at the ISIS spallation neutron source [PDF]
The VESUVIO beam line at the ISIS spallation neutron source was set up for neutron irradiation tests in the neutron energy range above 10 MeV. The neutron flux and energy spectrum were shown, in benchmark activation measurements, to provide a neutron ...

The glitch activity of neutron stars [PDF]
We present a statistical study of the glitch population and the behaviour of the glitch activity across the known population of neutron stars. An unbiased glitch database was put together based on systematic searches of radio timing data of 898 rotation-powered pulsars obtained with the Jodrell Bank and Parkes observatories.

Reactor power measurement using N16 and N17 production rate in MARIA reactor [PDF]
In the water surrounding the reactor core, especially in the water flowing through the cooling system of the fuel channels, the (n,p) reactions on 16O and 17O occur producing 16N and 17N isotopes.

Validation of Monte Carlo simulations by experimental measurements of neutron-induced activation in cyclotrons [PDF]
Nuclear activation is the process of production of radionuclides by irradiation. This phenomenon concerns particle accelerators used in various fields, from medical applications to industrial ones, both during operation and at the decommissioning phase ...
