Abstract A total of sixty surface sediment samples were systematically obtained from ten distinct locations along the Sudanese coastline of the Red Sea during the summer season (June 2016) and the winter season (February...

Land degradation affects about 300 million ha of land in the Latin American and Caribbean region: 51% of this is agricultural land (180 million hectares). The ARCAL Regional Strategy Profile identifies the deficient use ...

Objective: To determine the activity concentrations of naturally occurring radionuclides 238U and 232Th in commonly consumed foods from East China and to evaluate the associated dietary exposure and potential radiologica...

Abstract Animal-origin food products pose serious threat to public food safety due to high microbial loads. The microbial and radioactive contaminations in commercial cold duck meat products were evaluated. Ten different...

A study was carried out to evaluate the association of levels of radioactivity, selenium and aflatoxin in shelled Brazil nuts, which were classified in different sizes, for export. The selenium determinations were perfor...

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are one of the main components of the tumor microenvironment (TME) of solid tumors. They have several functions, which all contribute to tumor growth and immune evasion. CAF presence ...

The physic-chemical properties of ash extracted from smoke during the combustion of coal at the Burshtyn thermal power plant were investigated. The particles formed in the flame are crystallized glass beads with a size o...

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid cancer, and its incidence has been increasing recently. Although the 5-year survival rate for PTC remains stable, the prognosis for medullary thyroid c...

The tin industry in Indonesia is a major global producer, and mining and smelting processes can mobilize and concentrate Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM), particularly radionuclides from the 238U and 232T...

Abstract Background Injectable radioactive iodine (I‐131) frequently is used to treat hyperthyroidism in cats. In human medicine, residual activity after injection of radionuclides has been reported, and the actual qua...

Abstract The Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory model (HYSPLIT), developed by NOAA’s Air Resources Laboratory, is one of the most widely used models for atmospheric trajectory and dispersion calcul...
