As we have seen, radioactivity is "natural," and we all contain things like radioactive carbon-14. There are also a number of man-made nuclear elements in the environment that are harmful. Nuclear radiation has
Inside the heat exchanger, the water from the reactor gives up its energy to cooler water flowing in another closed loop, turning it into steam. Using two unconnected loops of water and the heat exchanger helps to keep water contaminated with radioactivity safely contained in one place and well...
when Nobel Prize winner Baruch S. Blumberg (1925–2011) reported for the first time publicly on the discovery of a new antigen named Australia antigen (AuAg) (reference [1], page 82). In the years following, AuAg would become the first specific marker of viral hepatitis. Thereafter, viral...
The SSS is contained in a 2400-tonne tank of highly purified water which, together with Borexino’s underground location, shields the detector from environmental radioactivity. The tank boasts a muon detector to tag particles crossing the detector. When a neutrino interacts in the target volume, ...
and the amount of radioactive iodine 125 on the solid phase (at the time, a plastic bead) was measured. Since radioactivity can be detected with very high sensitivity, the process opened new dimensions in detection sensitivity that could be pushed from several micrograms/ml to a few nanograms...
Although machine perfusion is gradually making the transition to clinical practice, reconditioning therapies have not yet progressed from the experimental setting, pointing towards a translational gap. In this review, we discuss the current knowledge on the biological processes implicated in I/R injury ...
is the possibility to be exposed to unusual radioactivity, and remember to use it. Remember not all instruments detect alpha and beta radiation. Alpha emitters carry the greatest inhalation risk. All of ourMedcominstruments can detect alpha, beta, gamma and x radiation, but ourInspectorandOnyx...
radioactivity), gas emissions, ionosphere condition parameters, Earth radiation belt, Sun wind, crust parameters (strain, deformation, displacement) and biological precursors is proposed. The achievements of tidal potential modeling of Earth surface with included ocean and ...
Image credit: the International Space Station crew. I was recently asked a question that sounds simple, but is actually very deep: How long would it take for us to notice if the Sun stopped shining? Well, there are two ways to interpret this, and so I'll give you the answer to both...
