Agent selection and threat actualization in contamination cases: Predicting action from perpetrator behavior [PDF]
, 2018 While existing research on the topic is sparse, previous works have shown that there is believed to be a substantial threat of intentional, malicious contamination of the supply chain by criminals and terrorists (CFSAN, 2001; WHO, 2008).

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 3, Page 574-586, 1 February 2026.What's new? While ultraviolet radiation from the sun is the main risk factor for non‐melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), additional factors contribute to NMSC development. The present study examined the impact of occupational radiation exposure on NMSC risk among radiation workers in the United Kingdom.

Potential of Soils Natural Sorbents for Environmental Decontamination From 137Cs
Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 779-789, 30 January 2026.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 ...

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Background Pathological diagnosis of chest X‐ray images has always been a very challenging subject. Methods We propose a chest X‐ray pathology detection network that fuses two depthwise separable convolutions (TDCheXNet) to detect pathology from chest X‐ray images. We remove the transformation layer used by the original CheXNet and embed it in
