Humans receive around 50% of natural radiation dose due to Rn (radon), Rn (thoron) and their decay products. Several field campaigns measuring these gases and the decay products in different regions of India have been conducted in the recent past. Some of these studies measured indoor activity concentration and/or dose due to these gases and the associated decay products.

Environmental smoke has been shown to have significant associations with both causation and exacerbation of respiratory conditions. Aboriginal Australians in the Northern Territory (NT) of Australia are disproportionately affected by respiratory illness in comparison with non-Aboriginal Australians. Traditionally, Aboriginal communities have utilized fire for multiple purposes, such as land management practices, cultural ceremonies, hunting, and cooking.

This study investigates localized siltation in the Cigu Lagoon, Southwestern Taiwan, using an integrated approach of hydrodynamic modeling and remote sensing. In regions where in situ data is scarce, remote sensing provides critical complementary data inputs for our sediment model. We employed a multilayered mud sediment model, incorporating initial suspended sediment concentration (SSC) data derived from Landsat imagery, to identify the morphological changes taking place in the lagoon.

Defining and delineating species distribution and habitat is critical to informed management and conservation. This process is complicated in marine environments, where detection of marine taxa and characterization of marine habitat is more difficult. Small pelagic fishes and forage fishes are particularly challenging, though insights may be more accessible in species highly dependent on particular habitat.

This study assessed the feasibility and utility of a digital, all-virtual program designed for treatment of methamphetamine use disorder (MUD). Forty-nine adults with moderate- to severe-level MUD (per DSM-5 criteria) commenced the 8-week intervention. All aspects of the program were delivered via smartphone-based app.
