Mapping estuarine vegetation using satellite imagery: The case of the invasive species Baccharis halimifolia at a Natura 2000 site
(2019-02)
The invasive shrub Baccharis halimifolia is a threat to the environmental health of many estuarine protected areas
throughout Europe. It displaces saltmarsh vegetation and creates monospecific stands that diminish the ...
Monte Carlo dosimetry of a realistic multicellular model of follicular lymphoma in a context of radioimmunotherapy
(2020)
Purpose
Small-scale dosimetry studies generally consider an artificial environment where the tumors are spherical and the radionuclides are homogeneously biodistributed. However, tumor shapes are irregular and radiopharmaceutical ...
Modelling SPECT auto-contouring acquisitions for 177Lu & 131I molecular radiotherapy using new developments in Geant4/GATE
(2022)
Purpose
Monte Carlo modelling of SPECT imaging in Molecular Radiotherapy can improve activity quantification. Until now, SPECT modelling with GATE only considered circular orbit (CO) acquisitions. This cannot reproduce ...
Release of Nitrosamines and Nitrosamine Precursors from Scrap Tires | Environmental Science & Technology Letters
(American Chemical Society, 2021)
Materials used during manufacturing of tires can be a source of nitrosamines and/or their precursors. Here, we examined the leaching of nitrosamines and nitrosamine precursors from scrap tires under different test conditions. ...
Different stages of evolution of prominence and the associated CMEs
(2013)
We study the different evolutional stages of a large quiescent prominence, mainly considering its dynamic/thermal instabilities occurred close from the boundary of coronal hole (CH). We identify the critical conditions, ...
Revealing a new region of gamma-ray emission in the vicinity of HESS J1825–137
(2019-02-17)
HESS J1825–137 is a bright very high-energy gamma-ray source that has been firmly established as a pulsar wind nebula (PWN), and one of the most extended gamma-ray objects within this category. The progenitor supernova ...
Photoreactivity of Oil and Alcoholic Diterpenic Varnishes: Key Role of the Polymerization Process
(2020)
he conservation of artworks is a key issue in cultural heritage. The alterations of the varnish could be linked mainly to the photopolymerization of the natural resin. The photodegrada- tion of sandarac and rosin under ...
Concomitant prediction of environmental fate and toxicity of chemical compounds
(2020)
The environmental fate of many functional molecules that are produced on a large scale as precursors or as additives to specialty goods (plastics, fibers, construction materials, etc.), let alone those synthesized by the ...
The influence of temperature and pH on bacterial community composition of microbial mats in hot springs from Costa Rica
(2019)
We used the 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing approach to investigate the microbial diversity and community composition in several Costa Rican hot springs alongside the latitudinal axis of the country, with a range of temperatures ...
Predation of the Rolled-Leaf Beetle Cephaloleia kressi García-Robledo (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae) by the Rove Beetle Phanolinus Sp. (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Xanthopygina) in a Montane Forest of Costa Rica
(2020-12-22)
The genus Cephaloleia Chevrolat includes 215 species, known as rolled-leaf beetles, all of which are restricted to the Neotropics (Garcı́a-Robledo et al. 2015; Staines and Garcı́a-Robledo 2014). These beetles complete their ...
