Deployment of wireless systems in nuclear power plants has attracted a lot of attention recently. However, before wireless systems can be installed in a nuclear power plant, it is necessary to evaluate the effect of radiation environment on electromagnetic wave which is the communication media for all radio wave based wireless systems. This is particular important if the wireless systems are ex...

A coordinated research project initiated by the IAEA on “Radiochemical, chemical and physical characterization of radioactive particles in the environment” was conducted by a research group representing twelve countries (Brazil, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Israel, Kazakhstan, Norway, Russian Federation, Spain, Ukraine, USA) and the European Commission Joint Research Centre Institute for Transura...

After reviewing some of the basic concepts, nomenclatures and parametrizations of Astronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology, we introduce a few central problems in Nuclear Astrophysics, including the hot-CNO cycle, helium burning and solar neutrino’s. We demonstrate that Secondary (Radioactive) Nuclear Beams allow for considerable progress on these problems.

Tepidiphilus thermophilus strain JHK30(T) was isolated from a hot spring at Surajkund, Jharkhand, India. It is a Gram-negative rod, nonsporulating, aerobic, and motile. The estimated genome is 2.3 Mb, with 2,186 protein-coding sequences.

Geobacillus stearothermophilus strains 22 and 53 were isolated from sediment samples isolated from the Garga hot spring (72°C) located in the valley of the river Barguzin (the Baikal region, Russian Federation) (54°19'3.72″N, 110°59'38.4″E).

The moderately thermophilic bacterium Chelatococcus sambhunathii strain HT4(T) was isolated from hot spring sediment. Based upon the draft genome sequence, the genome is 4.4 Mb and encodes 4,147 proteins.

Pannonibacter indicus strain HT23T, a highly arsenate-tolerant bacterium, was isolated from a tropical hot spring. The estimated genome is 4.2 Mb with 3,818 protein-coding sequences containing putative genes, some of which are involved in arsenate resistance.

background : sentinel lymph node biopsy is a technique used to identify the axillary node most likely to contain tumor cells that have metastasized from a primary carcinoma of the breast. this technique provides accurate staging with fewer complications than axillary dissection and may result in decreased costs. we designed the present study to determine the accuracy and success rate of a combi...

The geochemical characteristics of the hot spring waters in the Rehai and Ruidian geothermal fields, Tengchong County, Yunnan Province, China, are described and their possible environmental impact assessed. The results show that the alkaline spring waters contain high levels of K, Na, F, Cl, SiO2, whereas the only acidic spring water in Rehai geothermal field contains high levels of SO42−, Mn a...
