Advances in Materials Science and Engineering Assessment of Gamma Radiation Hazards Related to Geologic Materials: Comparison of Results by Field Gamma Spectrometry and Laboratory... by Miguel Couto, Jorge Sanjurjo-Sánchez, Carlos Alves

“…Geologic materials are a potential source of external gamma radiation in buildings due to the presence of radioisotopes (40K and isotopes from U and Th decay families). The contents of these radioisotopes can be evaluated by laboratory analyses that require the extraction of samples, with associated financial and time constraints, and it is also difficult to perform on materials already applied in existing structures. …”

Effect of single particle potential on total cross section of nuclear reaction by Yan Fan, WenJun Guo, ZiHan Xi

“…Subsequently,the same approach is applied to calculate the total cross-section of nuclear reactions between carbon isotopes. The research indicates that the magnitude of the total cross-section is influenced by the isospin effects of particles and is also correlated with the number of free neutrons and protons produced in the reaction.…”

Study of Grape Polyphenols by Liquid Chromatography-High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC/QTOF) and Suspect Screening Analysis by Riccardo Flamini, Mirko De Rosso, Luigi Bavaresco

“…Suspect screening analysis is a targeted metabolomics method in which the identification of compounds relies on specific available information, such as their molecular formula and isotopic pattern. This method, coupled to liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry, is effective in the study of grape metabolomics, in particular for characterization of flavonols, stilbene derivatives, and anthocyanins. …”
