During the operational history of the Savannah River Site (SRS), many different radionuclides have been released from site facilities into the SRS environment. However, only a relatively small number of pathways, most importantly (137)Cs in fish and deer, have contributed significantly to doses and risks to the public. The "effective" half-lives (Te) of (137)Cs (which include both physical deca...

background: two of the important radionuclides which are entered to environment and human diet are radium-226 (226ra) and cesium-137 (137cs). it is clear that the methods for preparation of foods such as peeling, washing, cooking or frying can affect the dose which is received by human due the to consumption of foodstuffs. an experiment has been performed at the environmental monitoring section...

0 T verse has been a subject for lively discussion among scholars for at least two centuries. Yet in spite of the length of time that the topic has been under intensive study, no generally accepted solution has emerged. (A brief survey of previous research into the topic is offered by Stuart.)’ Among the different approaches to the problem, the one that seems most productive of insights is that...

Schizophrenia is a complex genetic disease and characterized by affective, cognitive, neuromorphological, and molecular abnormalities that may have a neurodevelopmental origin. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical to neurodevelopment and adult neuronal processes by modulating the activity of multiple genes within biological networks. MiR-137 as a brain-enriched microRNA, plays important roles in reg...

During the course of the last decade the incidence of decompression sickness within the Royal Navy has markedly increased. Whereas in the past such cases were largely the result of accident or negligence and fortunately rare, the testing of new techniques and tables has produced sufficient material to make some analysis of the various methods of treatment worth while. This paper consists of sum...
