Exploring the Genetic Basis of Wild Boar (Sus scrofa) and Its Connection to Classical Swine Fever Spread

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Classical swine fever (CSF) is the one of the most devastating contagious diseases in domestic swine and wild boar/pigs (Sus scrofa). Population genetics is often used to estimate animal dispersal and can also help evaluate host population connectivity, which is crucial for understanding pathogen dispersal.

Low-cesium rice: mutation in OsSOS2 reduces radiocesium in rice grains

Scientific Reports, 2017
In Japan, radiocesium contamination in foods has become of great concern and it is a primary issue to reduce grain radiocesium concentration in rice (Oryza sativa L.).

Radiocarbon releases from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident [PDF]

, 2016
Radiocarbon activities were measured in annual tree rings for the years 2009 to 2015 from Japanese cedar trees (Cryptomeria japonica) collected at six sites ranging from 2.5–38 km northwest and north of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant. The 14C

Examination of the reliability of X‐ray powder diffraction analysis to determine mineral composition of soils

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 88, Issue 6, Page 1942-1958, November/December 2024.
Abstract X‐ray powder diffraction (XRPD) is an effective technique for identifying and quantifying mineral types in soil. However, few studies have compared quantitative values based on XRPD with those from conventional wet chemical methods (WCMs). Here, we determined the primary mineral content in artificial mineral mixtures and 79 agricultural soils ...

Radioactivity and food safety in Serbia: Chernobyl accident and 4 decades later

Food Safety and Health, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 410-413, October 2024.
Radioactivity occurs due to natural processes or as a consequence of various antropogenic activities such as nuclear power plants, military industry, etc. Food chain is one of the most important ways of contributing to the total radiation dose of an individual, as all types of food contain radionuclides.

Excretion of radiocesium in reindeer - effect of supplements of potassium and bentonite

Rangifer, 1988
Six reindeer calves were fed feed containing supplements of potassium and/or bentonite. The purpose was to see in what respect these supplements could affect the excretion of radiocesium.

Cadmium accumulation dynamics in the rice endosperm during grain filling revealed by autoradiography

Plant Direct, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract Cadmium (Cd) is one of the environmental pollutants contaminated in our food. Several previous reports showed that rice polishing cannot be efficient to reduce Cd content in white rice, implying the characteristic Cd distribution in rice grain. However, Cd distribution has not been fully elucidated so far.

Radiocesium concentrations in the lichen-reindeer/caribou food chain: Before and after Chernobyl

Rangifer, 1986
This paper reviews historical concentrations of radiocesium (Cs-137) in the reindeer/caribou food chain in Alaska. These data, along with available kinetic models which describe the movement of radiocesium through the food chain, are used to predict ...
