Background: Food consumption is one of the most important routes for radionuclide intake public; therefore, there need to have a comprehensive understanding amount radioactivity in food products. Consumption radionuclide-contaminated could increase potential health risks associated with exposure radiation such as cancers. The present study aims determine levels some products (milk, rice, sugar,...

Medical information systems and standards are increasingly based on principled models of at least three distinct sorts of information – patient data, concepts (terminology), and guidelines (decision support). Well defined interfaces are required between the three types of model to allow development to proceed independently. Two of the major issues to be dealt with in the defining of such interf...

background: tea is the most popular nonalcoholic beverage worldwide. in recent years, some iranian studies have shown the occurrence of toxic elements in fresh or dried tealeaves as well as in brewed tea. the present study aimed to ascertain the health risks associated with exposure to toxic and essential element through black tea consumption in iran by systematically reviewing the accredited a...

the present study was conducted to determine peak ground acceleration (pga) over bedrock in probabilistic analysis methods for the seismic hazard and uniform hazard spectra at different hazard levels for esfahan city. a series of statistics containing historical and instrumental seismic data covering from the 8th century a.d. to the now up to a radius of 200 km was employed and seismic sources ...

the percent of normal precipitation index (pnpi) is a widely used drought index to provide good estimations about the intensity, magnitude and spatial extent of droughts. the objective of this study was analyzing spatial pattern of drought by pnpi index. in this paper, according to the data of 40 stations in iran, during 1967-2009, the pattern of drought hazard is evaluated. influenced zone of ...

the identification of natural hazard prone areas for future planning requires an efficient decision support tool to provide the appropriate weights for the various topographical, geological, and seismological factors responsible for the expected hazards. in the present study, an analytical hierarchy process (ahp) with six earthquake hazard parameters (ehps) was used as a decision support system...

The effect of grain sizes on radionuclide concentration in soil and sediment samples from Kolo creek, Bayelsa State was investigated using gamma spectroscopy. Eight (8) were collected around the oil spill site creek. All separated into four different sizes, A (0.5mm), B (1mm), C (1.5mm) D (2mm), making a total 32 sediment. activity 0.5 mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm 2mm determined. In 0.5mm(A), 226Ra , 232Th...

Two siblings, a 6-month-old sexually intact male weighing 2.5 kg (cat 1) and a sexually intact female (cat 2) British Shorthair cat weighing 2.3 kg, were examined because of a 3-week history of polyuria, lethargy and laboured breathing. One year previously, another sibling (cat 3) had been presented because of similar, yet more severe, clinical signs at the age of 5 months. Physical examination...

background: natural radiation is constantly present in the environment and is emitted from a variety of natural and artificial sources. it affects human body and environment. materials and methods: the activity concentrations of 238u, 232th and 40k have been determined by gamma ray spectrometer with an hpge detector in sediments of cauvery river, tamilnadu, india. results: the absorbed dose rat...
