The Response of Living Organisms to Low Radiation Environment and Its Implications in Radiation Protection
Life has evolved on Earth for about 4 billion years in the presence of the natural background of ionizing radiation.It is extremely likely that it contributed, and still contributes, to shaping present form of life.Today the natural background radiation is extremely small (few mSv/y), however it may be significant enough for living organisms to res
The international biodosimetry capacity, capabilities, needs and challenges: The 3rd WHO BioDoseNet survey results
In 2008 the World Health Organization established an international network of biodosimetry laboratories, the BioDoseNet.The goal of this network is to support international yazhi design saree cooperation and capacity building in the area of biodosimetry, including harmonisation of protocols and techniques to enable them to provide mutual assistance
Assessing Impacts of Unconventional Natural Gas Extraction on Microbial Communities in Headwater Stream Ecosystems in Northwestern Pennsylvania
Hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling have increased dramatically in Pennsylvania Marcellus shale formations, however the potential for major environmental impacts are still incompletely understood.High-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene was performed to characterize the microbial community structure of water, sediment, bryophyte, an
Impact of Fermentation on the Recovery of Antioxidant Bioactive Compounds from Sea Bass Byproducts
The aim of the present research was to obtain antioxidant compounds through the fermentation of bonviv fish byproducts by bacteria isolated from sea bass viscera.To that purpose, bacteria from sea bass stomach, intestine, and colon were isolated.With the selected bacteria, growing research was undertaken, fermenting different broths prepared with s
