ionizing radiation,   etc   ; evolution; models;     Show all 3 Subjects
Abstract:
... This paper evaluates the significant historical paper of Muller and Mott-Smith (1930), which successfully disputed the proposal of Olson and Lewis (1928) that background ionizing radiation is the driving mechanism of evolution. While the present analysis supports the general conclusion that background radiation is not a quantifiable factor affecting evolution, the paper reveals methodological erro ...

Abstract:
... In numerous fields of application (environmental remediation, catalysis, nanomedicine), production of hydroxyl radicals and solvated electrons by nanomaterials is a cornerstone. Through a very sensitive, nanoparticle-compatible, coumarin-based protocol, we quantified hydroxyl radicals in solution when hydrogenated (H-ND) and oxidized (Ox-ND) detonation nanodiamonds were irradiated by MeV photons. ...

Abstract:
... To date, impacts of ionising radiations have been largely disregarded in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This omission can be linked to the lack of a standard and comprehensive framework for including the effects of radionuclides alongside other emissions from industrial processes. Drawing on a recent review of Radiological Impact Assessment methodologies for LCA studies, this article proposes an ove ...
