Potential of Soils Natural Sorbents for Environmental Decontamination From 137Cs
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study addresses the existing research gap concerning the lack of integrated data on the role of in situ soil components in the long‐term fixation of 137Cs under natural, protected, and non‐agricultural conditions. The contamination of ecosystems by radioactive isotopes, particularly 137Cs, represents a considerable environmental hazard ...

Depleted Uranium and Human Health [PDF]
, 2005 Persistent public anxiety about the use of depleted uranium munitions since the early 1990s has been underpinned by claims of serious health consequences for both veterans and exposed civilians, alike. Whatever grounds there may have seemed to be in the

An imaging neutron/gamma-ray spectrometer [PDF]
, 2013 We present the test results of a neutron/gamma-ray imaging spectrometer for the identification and location of radioactive and special nuclear materials. Radioactive materials that could be fashioned into a radiation dispersal device typically emit gamma

Metasurfaces in Adaptive Optics: A New Opportunity in Optical Wavefront Sensing
Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.Wavefront sensing constitutes a critical component of adaptive optics systems, aimed at quantitatively measuring distorted wavefronts and enabling closed‐loop correction in optical setups. Metasurfaces, as planar optical elements composed of nanoscale structures, provide exceptional freedom in modulating multiple dimensions of the light field.

Pan‐Europe Revisited: Inter‐War Debates and the EU's Pursuit of Geopolitical Power
JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The European Union's (EU) transformation from a peace project to an assertive geopolitical actor reflects enduring tensions in integration theory dating back to the inter‐war period. This paper develops a comparative framework distinguishing territorial integration logic, which emphasises bounded political communities and collective defence ...

Global Zero: The new old agenda [PDF]
, 2009 The project of abolishing all nuclear weapons has been given fresh impetus but the old questions remain. Having regard to the manifold problems of definition and verification, is 'Global Zero' realistic in a world in which proliferation seems more likely

Crossing scales and eras: Correlative multimodal microscopy heritage studies
Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.Abstract The comprehensive characterisation of complex, irreplaceable cultural heritage artefacts presents significant challenges for traditional analytical methods, which can fall short in providing multi‐scale, non‐invasive analysis. Correlative Multimodal Microscopy (CoMic), an approach that integrates data from multiple techniques, offers a ...
