Identifying the Presence of Natural Radionuclides in Ashlar Samples
Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2021 Humans have always been exposed to different types of natural and cosmic radiation. At present we experience 83 % natural radiation, for example from granite marbles, building materials such as concrete, brick, granite, or drywall.

Effect of an extract of Centella asiatica on the biodistribution of sodium pertechnetate (Na99mTcO4) and on the fixation of radioactivity on blood constituents [PDF]
, 2008 This study evaluates the effects of an acute treatment with a Centella asiatica (CA) extract on the biodistribution of the radiopharmaceutical Na99mTcO4 and on the fixation of technetium-99m on blood constituents. Wistar rats were treated with CA extract

Influences of cosmic radiation, artificial radioactivity and aerosol concentration upon the fair-weather atmospheric electric field in Lisbon (1955–1991) [PDF]
, 2006 The atmospheric electric field is influenced by cosmic radiation, radioactivity and aerosols. In this work we investigate the existence of: (i) correlations between relative anomalies of annual values of atmospheric electric field and cosmic radiation ...

Discovery of Radioactivity [PDF]
Nature, 1948 I AM surprised that Prof. Becquerel should have read into a passing reference to his distinguished father‘s work, in my review of Prof. Gamow‘s book, any suggestion that the discovery of radioactivity was in any way "fortuitous". No such suggestion was intended.
