Determination of environmental gaseous 129I trapped in charcoal cartridges by ICP-MS/MS
For environmental monitoring and radioecological studies, organic and inorganic 129I is often trapped in active charcoal. The analysis of this radionuclide can be difficult because of the low-level activities inv...

Open AccessBasal Ti level in the human placenta and meconium and evidence of a materno-foetal transfer of food-grade TiO2 nanoparticles in an ex vivo placental perfusion model
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is broadly used in common consumer goods, including as a food additive (E171 in Europe) for colouring and opacifying properties. The E171 additive contains TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs), part o...

Open AccessHuman recombinant anti-thyroperoxidase autoantibodies: in vitro cytotoxic activity on papillary thyroid cancer expressing TPO
Thyroid cancers are difficult to treat due to their limited responsiveness to chemo- and radiotherapy. There is thus a great interest in and a need for alternative therapeutic approaches.

Structural studies on V-amylose inclusion complexes
Amylose, the linear homopolymer of α-D-glucose found in native starch, can be crystallized from dilute solutions by addition of a large variety of organic guests (alcohols, lipids, aromas, etc.) [1,2]. The mor...

Analysis of lung tumour risk in radon-exposed rats: an intercomparison of multi-step modelling
Three carcinogenesis modelling groups have both jointly and separately applied a multi-step carcinogenesis model with clonal expansion to one data set of lung tumours in rats exposed to radon (CEA, France). Th...

Carcinogenic Effects in Rats of Exposure to Different Minerals from Metallic Mine Ores, Radon and Radon Daughters
Combined exposure to radon and mineral dust is very common in some mine environments. It has been suggested that the carcinogenic activity of some inorganic materials might be related to their surface reducing...

Propagation of super-Gaussian field distributions
The near- and far-field propagation of initially super-Gaussian field distributions is discussed. upon propagation, the beam profile is shown to undergo distortions of a magnitude which increases with the supe...

Physical Properties of Coupled Cavity Lasers Used for Ultrashort Pulse Generation
Coupling a mode-locked laser to a nonlinear external cavity has led [1–8] to the emission of ultrashort pulses whose duration can be reduced below 100 fs. The physical process leading to pulse narrowing has be...

Characterization of French avian paramyxovirus type 1 (PMV 1) isolates with a panel of monoclonal antibodies to the Ploufragan strain of Newcastle disease virus
Eight monoclonal antibodies against the Ploufragan strain of New-castle disease virus were used to characterize 58 virus strains including 29 French isolates. By combining ELISA and haemagglutination inhibitio...

Stability Analysis of Active Mode-Locking Through Loss Modulation
Mode-locked lasers are an essential tool for the production of ultrashort pulses. Unfortunately, they are plagued by instabilities and noise. The best stability is achieved by inserting a modulator inside the ...

18R to 2H Martensite Transformation in a Cu-Zn-Al Alloy
An unexpected 18R martensite to martensite transformation was obtained in Cu-Zn-Al alloy during the training process for 18R single crystal preparation: this later was induced from a β1 single crystal by applicat...

Bone tumours induced in rats with radioactive cerium
A technique is described for the induction of metastasizing bone tumours in rats by local inoculation of 144cerium. Bone sarcomas develop in 90% of the animals and 74% of these had lung metastases. The tumours...

Respiratory Carcinogenesis in Rats after Inhalation of Radioactive Aerosols of Actinides and Lanthanides in Various Physicochemical Forms
To study the role of the distribution of local tissue irradiation on the toxicity of alpha emitters, groups of 50 to 165 rats were exposed to aerosols of 244Cm(NO3)3, 241Am(NO3)3, 238Pu(NO3)4, 235Pu(NO3)4, 239PuO
