A comprehensive radiological survey using multivariate statistical analysis was carried out to evaluate the distribution of 40K, 232Th, 226Ra, 235U, and 137Cs, associated radiation indices in beach sand samples coastal area Aegean Sea. The activity concentration selected radionuclides measured no clue recent migration radiocaesium by not only precipitation but also through an indirect way, such as ocean runoff, found. As part risk assessment, external hazard index, radium equivalent...

Antigen-specific redirection of immune effector cells with chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) demonstrated high therapeutic potential for targeting cancers different origins. Beside CAR-T cells, natural killer (NK) represent promising alternative effectors that can be combined CAR technology. Unlike T primary NK and the cell line NK-92 applied as allogeneic off-the-shelf products a reduced risk toxicities. We previously established modular universal (UniCAR) platform which consists...

Abstract Impact assessment of building materials is a focused topic in the field radioecology. A radiological survey has conducted to monitor radioactivity most common Semnan Province, Iran, and assess radiation risk. Activity concentrations 226 Ra, 232 Th, 40 K were measured 29 samples including nine commonly used that collected from local suppliers manufacturers, using high purity germanium gamma-ray detector. The activity varied 6.7±1 43.6±9, 5.9±1 60±11, 28.5±3 1085±113 Bq kg −1 with...

Radionuclide concentrations in environmental samples such as surface soils, plants and water were evaluated by high purity germanium detector measurements. The contribution rate of short half-life radionuclides 132I to the exposure dose residents was discussed from measured values. highest values 131I/137Cs activity ratio ranged 49 70 collected at Iwaki City which is located south F1-NPS. On other hand, 132I/131I same had lowest values, ranging 0.01 0.02. By assuming that atmosphere equal...

Abstract Background The European Union council has introduced the basic safety standards (EU-BSS) for protection against dangers arising from exposure to ionizing radiation by laying down a new radon reference level at workplaces. In this regard, all state members must establish national based on pre-defined requirements. After implanting directive 2013/59/Euratom members, challenges have been revealed mitigate appropriately in underground workplaces due exciting limitations (e.g.,...

Prediction of areas with elevated natural radiation is fundamental for the prevention human exposure. Soil gas radon activity concentration and soil permeability are predictive parameters potential, which has great importance in where future urban development planned. In this study, equilibrium (C∞) (K) were estimated through application theoretical empirical models found literature. These apply properties as input parameters. Using already existing to predict potential an area would be...
