This paper compares the performance of three analytical methods for the determination of pesticides in natural waters. As many pesticides are non-fluorescent, they are transformed into highly fluorescent by-products in two ways: elevated temperature in an alkaline medium (thermo-induced fluorescence - TIF); or UV irradiation in water (photo-induced...

To evaluate the impact various levels of irradiation have on bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) allograft load-to-failure. Pubmed, Google Scholar and Embase were searched for studies reporting load-to-failure measurements of BTB allografts following gamma or eBeam irradiation. All systematic reviews, editorials, as well as studies that utilized animal...

The Cherenkov power meter developed at the Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI) is an independent, reliable and cost-effective measurement system based on Cherenkov radiation detection, used to measure fast power transients during pulse operation at the JSI TRIGA research reactor. It is based on a closed tube in order to avoid interference from external li...
Background Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) treatment promoted the regeneration of the intestinal epithelium, limiting lethality in a mouse model of radiation-induced gastrointestinal syndrome (GIS). The SVF has a heterogeneous cell composition; the effects between SVF and the host intestinal immunity are still unknown. The specific role of the diff...
The luminescence properties of green Ba4Si6O16:Eu2+, rare-earths (RE) (RE = Sc, Y, La and Lu except Pm) phosphors are reported. Their long-lasting phosphorescence is discussed in view trap depths concentrations determined from thermally stimulated experiments. A second emission band centered at 439 nm was evidenced low temperatures, which stems the...
The nonphotochemical laser-induced nucleation (NPLIN) phenomenon of an inorganic compound, ethylenediamine sulfate, exhibiting crystal chirality has been investigated. Strong enhancement of the nucleation efficiency upon laser irradiation is reported and is shown to rely on the presence of insoluble particles dispersed within the aqueous solutions ...
Preclinical researchers have long acknowledged the critical need for accurate dosimetry in the conduct of radiation-exposure studies involving living systems. Although radiation dosimetry is required to be National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST)-traceable for human irradiation protocols, there were previously only limited requirement...
[ES] En este proyecto se realiza el diseño y dimensionado de una instalación solar fotovoltaica de 140 kW interconectada a red en la modalidad de autoconsumo sin excedentes para una empresa del sector cárnico ubicada en Benifaió. Para su elaboración se emplean los programas Excel, PVGIS y AutoCAD. El proyecto contempla el diseño y la selección de l...

This animal model aimed to compare the rat group that received brain irradiation and did not receive additional treatment (only saline) and the rat group that underwent brain irradiation and received Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) treatment. In addition, the effects of G-CSF on brain functions were examined by magnetic resonance (MR)...
The good corrosion resistance of the M5Framatome cladding used in pressurised water reactors (PWR) may be due to the irradiation induced modifications of this alloy. Several ion irradiation tests were performed on the M5Framatome alloy to reproduce the in-core metallurgical changes, followed by corrosion tests on the irradiated samples. Proton irra...
