Overview of Radon Flux Characteristics, Measurements, Models and Its Potential Use for the Estimation of Radon Priority Areas [PDF]
Atmosphere, 2022 Radon flux measurements provide information about how much radon rises from the ground toward the atmosphere, thus, they could serve as good predictors of indoor radon concentrations.

Swiss national radon database: impact of building and environmental factors [PDF]
Frontiers in Public HealthSince the 1980s, radon has been recognized as a public health concern in Switzerland and internationally. In an effort to more accurately estimate the number of lung cancer cases attributable to radon exposure, Swiss health authorities initiated the ...

Micro- and macroscopic modeling of crowding and pushing in corridors
Networks and Heterogeneous Media, 2020 Experiments with pedestrians revealed that the geometry of the domain, as well as the incentive of pedestrians to reach a target as fast as possible have a strong influence on the overall dynamics.

First Steps towards a National Approach for Radon Survey in Romanian Schools
Atmosphere, 2021 Schools are a category of public buildings with a high radon exposure risk, due to their high occupancy factor. In Romania, the elaboration of a methodology for radon measurements in schools is a necessity imposed both by the European legislation and by ...

Use of radon barriers to reach an acceptable radon level [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 A method is presented for theoretically estimating the necessary airtightness of a radon barrier. Radon barriers are used to balance the indoor radon concentration.

Blood flow but not cannula positioning influences the efficacy of Veno-Venous ECMO therapy
Scientific Reports, 2022 Despite being vital in treating intensive-care patients with lung failure, especially COVID-19 patients, Veno-Venous Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation does not exploit its full potential, leaving ample room for improvement. The objective of this study
