Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMonstrous Hazards Produced by High Radioactivity Levels Around Assiut Thermal Power PlantHany El-Gamal, Mohamed El-Azab Farid, Abdulla Ibrahim Abdel Mageed et al.The natural radioactivity level of heavy oil, ash and soil samples around Assiut Thermal Power Plant (ATPP) in Egypt was determined using gamma ray spectrometry. The average concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in fly ash were found to be 2307±143, 1281±80 and 1218±129 Bq kg-1, respectively, while the corresponding values in soil samples were 2670±107, 1401±78 and 1495±100 Bq … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 17 Sep 2013 · 6,967 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNatural Radioactivity at an Uraniferous SiteClaudio de Carvalho Conti, Esau Francisco Sena Santos, Isabel Cristina Poquet SalinasThe aim of this study is to evaluate the soil composition, the radioactive isotopes concentration and the outdoor air Kerma in the region of the Uraniferous Province of Lagoa Real, Bahia State, located at northeast of Brazil. It has used data from an airborne gamma-ray survey previously carried out in the region, namely Projeto Sao Timoteo and computer simulations of … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 14 Feb 2013 · 7,456 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExperimental Evidence for the Role of Natural Radioactivity in Influencing Viability of Commensal MicroorganismsMarco RuggieroTo investigate the feasibility of culturing edible microbes, classified as probiotics for human consumption, in commercially available, naturally radioactive, mineral water; to compare their viability with that of the same microbes cultured in deuterium-depleted water. A diversified array of probiotics was cultured in two different naturally radioactive mineral waters, or in deuterium-depleted water in order to assess the effects of … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 26 May 2021 · 8,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPotential Radiological Impacts of Phosphate Fertilizers Brands used in Southeast, NigeriaKenneth K. Agwu, Mark C. Okeji, Paschal TchokossaThe radionuclides present in phosphate fertilizers used in Southeast Nigeria were identified and their activity concentration determined to assess the potential radiological impact on the environment due to fertilizer applications in agricultural farm lands. The radioactivity concentration of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in the fertilizer samples range from 13.22±1.83 to 87.37±8.98 Bqkg-1 for 226Ra (mean: 31.71±5.4 Bqkg-1), 0.78±0.07 to 47.65±6.05 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 6 · 12 May 2017 · 7,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsForest Fires and Resuspension of Radionuclides into the AtmosphereFernando P. Carvalho, Joao M. Oliveira, Margarida MaltaProblem statement: Forest fires are especially frequent around the Mediterranean Sea basin in the summer period and might be able to release naturally-occurring and man-made radionuclides from plant biomass and inject them into the atmosphere. The impact of this radioactivity on populations was not investigated before. Approach: Radionuclide analysis was performed in plants, in smoke from plant burning and in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2012 · 7,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEnvironmental Radioactive Impact Associated to Uranium ProductionFernando P. CarvalhoProblem statement: One century of uranium mining in Europe and North-America created a legacy of ore mining and milling sites needing rehabilitation for environmental and human safety. In the last decades developments of uranium mining displaced the core of this activity to Australia, Canada and African countries. In the coming years, uranium mining is expected to grow further, in those … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 14 Jan 2012 · 8,249 accessesView PDFCite

OluseyeProblem statement: The natural radioactivity levels in the soils of Ogun-Osun River Basins Development Authority Headquarters, (O-ORBDA HQ) Abeokuta, South-Western part of Nigeria were measured. Approach: (O-ORBDA HQ) is a parastatal of Federal Ministry of Water Resources and Rural Development in Nigeria charged with the responsibility for the development and management of the water resources in its area of coverage. … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2010 · 7,917 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUsing Culture, Policy and Traditional Knowledge to Improve Engagement in Science CoursesLawrence K. Duffy, Catherine Hurt Middlecamp, Anna Godduhn, Cindy E. FabbriProblem statement: In our undergraduate science courses, we need to engage students by including the current issues and concerns of our students as well as recognizing the place-based context in which they learn. Including culture, policy and traditional knowledge when it intersects with a chemical principle and a challenging real world issue adds concreteness to the scientific process. Approach: Science … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOne can Achieve the Nuclear Fission Reaction of Lithium by Accelerated Hydrogen Nuclei or NeutronsRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe idea circulated among physicists that in the upper area of the physical elements the fission reaction can be obtained and in the lower one the fusion reaction occurs. In the presented paper we want to impose another rule, namely the obtaining in the lower part of the physical elements of the fission and fusion nuclear reactions, with the obvious … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 7 Sep 2021 · 9,516 accessesView PDFCite
