Time changes of dose equivalent rate above the soil surface as indication of natural attenuation processes [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2019
Eight sites in the Fukushima contaminated area were surveyed for long-term changes in D-shuttle dose equivalent rate above the soil surface during 2015–2017. D-shuttle readings in most cases decreased faster than if due to radioactive decay only.

Efficiency calibration of a well-type HPGe detector using experimental and Monte Carlo simulation techniques [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2020
Well-type high-purity germanium detectors are well suited for the analysis of small samples, as they combine high detection efficiency with low background radiation. The well geometry however makes efficiency calibration more difficult than that

Brain delivery of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) following nasal administration to rats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The aim of this work was to study in rats the nasal route for the brain delivery of the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) neuropeptide. After evaluating VIP stability in solutions obtained from nasal washes, the effect of formulation parameters (pH 4-9,

Generation of nanoparticles in the concentrated energy (laser beam) and gas flow

open access: yesAviation, 2004
The method of generation and selection of small nanoparticles in the airflow is considered in this paper. To melt the material (stainless steel), a concentrated energy flow – a pulsed solid‐state laser beam – was used.

Equilibrium status of naturally occurring 226Ra with radon daughters and estimation of 238U activity from 235U using natural radioactivity ratio of 238U/235U in soil around Rawatbhata, Rajasthan

open access: yesRadiation Protection and Environment, 2022
Equilibrium status among 226Ra and radon daughters was studied in soil samples around Rawatbhata, Rajasthan. It was found that the increase in radioactivity of 214Bi (radon daughter) due to complete radon buildup in the sealed container is within 15 ...

Fukushima and Chernobyl: Similarities and Differences of Radiocesium Behavior in the Soil–Water Environment

open access: yesToxics, 2022
In the wake of Chernobyl and Fukushima accidents, radiocesium has become a radionuclide of most environmental concern. The ease with which this radionuclide moves through the environment and is taken up by plants and animals is governed by its chemical ...

The neglected activation of tantalum in reduced activation materials

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy, 2023
Due to the expression of “reduced activation”, the severe radioactivity of tantalum (Ta) after neutron irradiation in early decay years is easily neglected. In the presented study, after an irradiation of only 0.3 dpa by fission neutron and followed by a

The nicotinamide hypothesis revisited—plant defense signaling integrating PARP, nicotinamide, nicotinic acid, epigenetics, and glutathione

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nicotinamide (NIC) and nicotinic acid (NIA) are proposed as stress signaling compounds in plants. Oxidative stress may lead to single strand breaks (SSB) in DNA, which activate poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase (PARP). NIC and NIA are then formed from NAD. NIC and NIA can promote epigenetic changes leading to the expression of defense genes specific for the ...
