Abstract:
Natural and artificial radionuclides in the surface soil samples collected from the Nevşehir (Cappadocia) region were analyzed using gamma spectrometry employing an HPGe detector. Activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K range from 58.31 to 77.40 Bq kg−1, 60.56 to 90.97 Bq kg-1, and 796.42 to 1142.8 Bq kg-1, respectively. The values indicate that the activity concentrations of the natural radionuclides in the soil samples were higher than the world average. Since Turkey is a country greatly affected by the Chernobyl accident, 137Cs activity concentration was measured to determine wheth

Abstract:
Deiodinases (DIO) are central to regulating thyroid hormone action in the brain because they control the tissue concentration of the active hormone triiodothyronine (T3). DIO2, the outer ring, 5’-deiodinase expressed in the brain, converts T4 to T3 and is active primarily in two glial cell types: astrocytes and tanycytes. Astrocytes produce all of brain T3 during the fetal period and a significant fraction in adults. T3 from astrocytes reaches other neural cells, mainly neurons, devoid of DIO2. The T3 produced in the tanycytes travels to hypothalamic nuclei to perform neuroendocrine functions.

Radon (Rn-222) is a naturally occurring radioactive gas in the uranium-238 (U-238) decay chain and is a major contributor to natural radiation exposure. Its alpha-emitting progeny attach to airborne particles, posing serious health risks, especially lung cancer. To mitigate these risks, the European Council Directive 2013/59/EURATOM (EU-BSS) mandates monitoring and mitigation actions for indoor radon concentrations exceeding 300 Bq/m³. Meeting these regulatory requirements presents considerable metrological challenges, especially due to the high uncertainty of low-level radon measurements and

It is necessary to determine the status of fuel failure to avoid its degradation in the operation.
