The aim of the study was to assess soil technogenic radioactivity in vicinity Morzhovets Lighthouse and surrounding areas by measuring radio caesium (137Cs) specific activity. Location time study. Field work performed area around (the Island, Archangelsk region) summer 2022. Methods. Soil samples were collected at 26 sites from 0-5 cm layer, which 12 also 5-10 и 10-20 layers. Aboveground phytom...

Blood pressure in normal adults in the present study population in Nepal is found to be less in comparison to that recorded in Framingham study, USA. To find out the cause of variation of blood pressure values, this study was designed. Blood pressures of healthy young subjects were recorded by mercury sphygmomanometer having standard Riva-Rocci cuff. The mid-arm-circumference of the same subjec...

BACKGROUND Symmetry is one of the criteria of achieving a good aesthetic result. Realising this can be difficult. Attempts have been made to try and measure this symmetry using advanced and complex methods.1 For most surgeons on a daily basis the only practical way to measure symmetry is to use a simple measuring tool such as a measuring tape. However, this method is not very reliable as it dep...

With the purpose to establish a relationship between physical characteristics of the players and biomechanical variables of service in lawn tennis present study was structured. For the purpose of the study twelve intervarsity level players were recruited as the subjects. A camcorder was used to video record the movement of the subjects. 2D Data were collected from movement onset to the follow-t...

The diurnal variation of the gross alpha (alpha) radioactivity in the air near the ground and the gamma (gamma) radioactivity emitted from the ground have been monitored in North-eastern Greece. Meteorological information comprising air temperature and humidity has been simultaneously recorded. Over a period of the 24h of a typical day, the variation of alpha-radioactivity reaches a peak in the...

gamma-rays emitted from the ground surface relate to the primary mineralogy and geochemistryof the bedrock, and the secondary weathered materials. this information can contribute significantly to anunderstanding of the geochemical and pedogenetic history of a region. the main aim of this paper was to study the relationship between ground gamma-ray data and basement geochemistry in the lese catc...

Very soon after the discovery of radioactivity, measurements of the heavy radioactive elements existing in nature were undertaken to determine the age of rocks (Rutherford 1904), but only when Professor Willard Libby in an evening lecture during the first United Nations Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy in Geneva in 1955 described how he and his research team had evolved the carb...
