This study reports gamma-ray doses measured using thermoluminescence (TL) dosimetry of atomic-bomb-exposed ceramic samples from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Advances in the dosimetry of TL-sensitive minerals in the field of TL dating of archaeological and geological materials made it possible to measure a radiation dose of 10(-2) Gy. Ceramic samples such as tiles and bricks were collected from locations between 523 and 2,453 m from the hypocenter in Hiroshima and from between 731 and 1,565 m in Nagasaki. The gamma-ray dose estimates derived from these samples are compared with estimates from DS86. A significant discrepancy was noted between the doses measured for samples from Hiroshima and DS86 values. One possible cause of this discrepancy might be a secondary gamma-ray dose related to the neutron dose.

Solar energy-driven steam generation is a renewable, energy-efficient technology that can alleviate the global clean water shortage through seawater desalination. However, the contradiction between resistance to salinity accretion and maintaining high water evaporation properties remains a challenging bottleneck. Herein, we have developed a biomimetic multiscale-ordered hydrogel-based solar water evaporator for efficient seawater desalination.

Calcium phosphate (CaP)-based bioscaffolds are used for bone tissue regeneration because of their physical and chemical resemblance to human bone. Calcium, phosphate, sodium, potassium, magnesium, and silicon are important components of human bone. The successful biomimicking of human bone characteristics involves incorporating all the human bone elements into the scaffold material.

This paper presents the effect of environmentally friendly additives on selected parameters and microbial degradation of Marine Diesel Oil (MDO). Microbiological contamination is a serious problem in MDO and other petroleum products. For this reason, it was decided to investigate the effects of environmentally friendly additives such as silver solution and colloidal nanosilver, as well as effective liquid microorganisms and ceramic tubes with different percentages of them in diesel oil (MDO) on its selected parameters and inhibition of bacterial and fungal growth.
