Chelator‐Free Radiometal Labeling Inside Engineered Affibodies

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Affibodies are compact and robust three‑helix binders used in imaging and therapy. Engineering a triple‑cysteine motif into their core enables chelator‑free binding of important radiometals, like Bi(III), Pb(II), In(III), and Ga(III) with rapid uptake and exceptional stability.

Are passive smoking, air pollution and obesity a greater mortality risk than major radiation incidents? [PDF]

, 2007
Background Following a nuclear incident, the communication and perception of radiation risk becomes a (perhaps the) major public health issue. In response to such incidents it is therefore crucial to communicate radiation health risks in the context of ...

Brachytherapy in Breast Cancer Treatment: Physical and Biological Aspects

Journal of Education, Health and Sport
This scientific paper focuses on the treatment of breast cancer, one of the most common cancers among women. Despite increased awareness and the popularity of screening tests, statistics indicate a significant rise in incidence.

A Low‐Power Radioisotope XRF Spectrometer for Detection of Light Elements on Planetary Missions

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Current X‐ray spectrometers for in situ geochemical analysis on planetary missions typically rely either on X‐ray tubes, which demand electrical power and add mass and thermal complexity, or on alpha particle X‐ray spectrometers (APXS) that use rare 244Cm$$ {}^{244}\mathrm{Cm} $$ sources, and come with severe concerns on radiation safety and ...

Testing distinguishability and determinism in atoms

Physics Letters B
We propose and analyze experiments to test distinguishability and determinism in atoms. As a first step, we consider experiments to test if atoms are distinguishable from each other due to small differences in the nuclear magnetic moment.

Distinct Foliar Uptake Pathways for Phosphorus and Nano‐Hydroxyapatite in Potato Revealed By Synchrotron μCT and ³³P Imaging

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) has a high phosphorus (P) requirement, yet its shallow root system and the strong P‐fixing capacity of many soils limit the effectiveness of soil fertilisation. Foliar application of nano‐hydroxyapatite particles (nHAPs) has emerged as a promising alternative P fertilisation practice.

Calcium‐activated chloride channels in pericytes and their role in regulating organ blood flow

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Pericytes are microvascular mural cells with diverse roles. Contractile pericytes directly regulate local perfusion, while non‐contractile pericytes coordinate upstream vascular contractility via propagating electrical signals.

Specification for strontium-90 500-watt(e) radioisotopic thermoelectric generator. Final report [PDF]

, 1983
A conceptual design for a demonstration 500-watt(e) radioisotopic thermoelectric generator has been created for the Department of Energy. The design effort was divided into two tasks, viz., create a design specification for a capsule strength member that utilizes a standard Strontium-90 fluoride-filled WESF inner liner, and create a conceptual design ...

Calcium and strontium secretion from blood to milk

, 1961
The mechanisms of Ca and Sr secretion from blood to milk in goats were studied using varying combinations of one radioisotope of Ca and two radioisotopes of Sr and continuous, long-term intravenous infusions as a means of maintaining desired blood ...
