Combining the radial basis function Eulerian and Lagrangian schemes with geostatistics for modeling of radionuclide migration through the geosphere [PDF]
To assess the long-term safety of a radioactive waste disposal system, mathematical models are used to describe groundwater flow, chemistry, and potential radionuclide migration through geological formations.

Excitation functions of proton induced nuclear reactions on natW up to 40 MeV [PDF]
Excitation functions for the production of the 181,182m,182g,183,184g,186Re and 183,184Ta radionuclides from proton bombardment on natural tungsten were measured using the stacked-foil activation technique for the proton energies up to 40 MeV. A new data

Modelling of radionuclide migration through the geosphere with radial basis function method and geostatistics [PDF]
The modelling of radionuclide transport through the geosphere is necessary in the safety assessment of repositories for radioactive waste. A number of key geosphere processes need to be considered when predicting the movement of radionuclides through the

Somatostatin Analogues in the Treatment of Neuroendocrine Tumors: Past, Present and Future [PDF]
In recent decades, the incidence of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) has steadily increased. Due to the slow-growing nature of these tumors and the lack of early symptoms, most cases are diagnosed at advanced stages, when curative treatment options are no ...

Extreme value theory applied to the millennial sunspot number series [PDF]
In this work, we use two decadal sunspot number series reconstructed from cosmogenic radionuclide data (14C in tree trunks, SN-14C and 10Be in polar ice, SN-10Be) and the Extreme Value Theory to study variability of solar activity during the last 9 ...

Dose calculations in aircrafts after Fukushima nuclear power plant accident – Preliminary study for aviation operations [PDF]
There is little information to decision support in air traffic management in case of nuclear releases into the atmosphere. In this paper, the dose estimation due to both, external exposure (i.e. cloud immersion, deposition inside and outside the aircraft)

Mass spectrometry in ocular drug research
Abstract Mass spectrometry (MS) has been proven as an excellent tool in ocular drug research allowing analyzes from small samples and low concentrations. This review begins with a short introduction to eye physiology and ocular pharmacokinetics and the relevance of advancing ophthalmic treatments.

Sedimentary processes in the Thau Lagoon (France): From seasonal to century time scales [PDF]
As a part of the MICROBENT programme, an investigation of the sedimentation framework was carried out at the water-sediment interface in the Thau Lagoon (French Mediterranean coast). Two main sites, C4 in the middle of the lagoon and C5 near oyster farms,
