RESUMEN

The MIREDO (Muon Induced Rare Event Dynamic Observatory) spectrometer system is primarily developed for the study of cosmic muon induced processes in different materials. Exploration of such interactions can be important for ultra-low background experiments. The system is based on the 100% relative efficiency ultra-low-background HPGe spectrometer. With the addition of two plastic scintillators and a fast-slow coincidence circuit, the coincidence events between the plastic detectors and the HPGe spectrometer have been investigated. First results derived for a CaO powder sample, placed in a Marinelli beaker, are presented and discussed.

RESUMEN

The nucleus 49Sc, having a single f(7/2) proton outside doubly magic 48Ca (Z=20, N=28), is one of the very few isotopes which makes possible testing of the fundamental theory of nuclear magnetism. The magnetic moment has been measured by online ß NMR of nuclei oriented at milli-Kelvin temperatures to be (+)5.616(25) µ(N). The result is discussed in terms of a detailed theory of the structure of the magnetic moment operator, showing excellent agreement with calculated departure from the f(7/2) Schmidt limit extreme single-particle value. The measurement completes the sequence of moments of Sc isotopes with even numbers of f(7/2) neutrons: the first such isotopic chain between two major shells for which a full set of moment measurements exists. The result further completes the isotonic sequence of ground-state moments of nuclei with an odd number of f(7/2) protons coupled to a closed subshell of f(7/2) neutrons. Comparison with a recent shell-model calculation of the latter sequence is made.

RESUMEN

The results of indoor radon survey in the South-Pannonian Province Vojvodina (Serbia and Montenegro) are presented. The sampling strategy was oriented towards suburban and urban regions in the Province. For the dwellings typical for such regions the geometric mean annual radon activity concentration of 76.1 Bq m(-3) is measured (1000 measurements). This result leads to the annual dose estimate of 4.3 mSv y(-1), which is above the recommended action limit of ICRP. For urban dwellings in Novi Sad (the Province capital), the annual mean value of 54 Bq m(-3) (220 measurements) is obtained. By comparison of these two results it is concluded that radon surveys based on measurements in urban environment may seriously underestimate the radon-related health risk. The elevated radon levels could not be explained by elevated uranium levels of surface soil.

RESUMEN

The Bega canal is one among many heavily polluted canals in Vojvodina (the northern province of Serbia and Montenegro). In the framework of the revitalization of this canal, the radionuclide content of the sediment was investigated in order to support the safe deposition after excavation. It was found that, in comparison with the Danube sediment and Vojvodina soil, the Bega sediment is contaminated with (238)U and (137)Cs. The origin of this contamination is discussed. No traces of contamination by nuclear power plants in the region were found, while the presence of technologically enhanced, natural occurring radioactive materials (TENORM) was proved.

RESUMEN

The widespread public belief that during the bombardment of Vojvodina (Yugoslavia) this region was contaminated by depleted uranium has recently raised public concern with respect to the potential contamination of agricultural products due to soil radioactivity. Based on the gamma-spectrometric analysis of 50 soil samples taken from the region of Vojvodina we concluded that there is no increase of radioactivity that could endanger the food production. Taking into account the transfer factors of 137Cs to plants, the measured activity concentrations of this isotope should not endanger the health safety of the produced food. No traces of depleted uranium have been found. The natural radioactivity levels are compared with the results form other countries.

RESUMEN

Monitoring of plant lodging, yield reaction due to root injures caused by western corn rootworm larvae (WCR) (Diabroticia virgifera virgifera Le Conte) and adults abundance with yellow Multigard and Pherocone AM and pheromone Csalomon traps, were performed in three field trials. First one with 4 variants of maize growing system; maize continuous cropping, two crop rotation (wheat-maize, soybean-maize) and three crop rotation (wheat-soybean-maize), set up in 1985. Second one with 54 variants, both conducted in Zemun Polje. A large scale trial with three rates of NPK mineral fertilizers; (NPK 0 kg/ha, 170 kg/ha and 270 kg/ha with two type of N applied in side dressing (N 0 kg/ha, 50 kg/ha and 80 kg/ha) was set up in Crepaja in 1997, 1998 and 1999. Each variant of fertilizers had two combinations; one treated with insecticide and another one untreated check. Feeding on root system of WCR larvae, in the variants with insecticide application, resulted in plant lodging that ranged in average from 2.1% in 1997, to 61.6% in 1999, while in variant without insecticide application, root damage resulted in plant lodging from 19.5% in 1997, to 56.6% in 1999. Increasing of the nitrogen rates in the variants without application of insecticide tended to raise the percentage of plant lodging Yield reaction on nitrogen application was positive in 1997, first year and 1998, second year of maize monoculture, while in 1999 was negative. Larval injury affected maize yield in the higher extend in extremely dry year 2000, when yield index was 0.37 comparing 2.86 t/ha in maize monoculture to 7.66 t/ha in three crop rotation, 0.54 (2.86: 5.28 maize monoculture: wheat-maize) and 0.55 (2.86: 5.22 maize monoculture: soybean-maize). Adult abundance monitored with yellow sticky and pheromone traps indicate that maize in three crop rotation has the smallest attraction to the migratory WCR beetles. The choice of three crop rotation seems to be the most promising choice for maize growing, which will result with the lowest risk of plant lodging and yield decrease.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Radon and thoron are naturally-occurring radioactive gases, which are products of uranium and thorium decay series, respectively. Uranium and thorium occur widely in the environment, in rocks, soil, air, water, building materials, humans, etc. Radon daughters in the air are predominantly attached to aerosols. A minor part, normally less than 10%, occurs as unattached atoms or ions. The relative distribution of attached daughters in indoor air and equilibrium factor depend on many variables, such as the decay constant, the concentration and size distribution of aerosols and ventilation rates. Increased ventilation decreases the concentration of radon and daughters in the air. OCCURRENCE: Concentration of radon, thoron and their decay products in the air indoors, in mines or houses, is higher than outdoors. In houses, the level of radon daughters may be enhanced by radon from radium rich building materials, landfill, soil and bedrock under the house, radon rich water and by poor ventilation. CONCLUSION: In recent years, several evaluations of human health risks and estimations have been made in regard to the dose-response relationship and lung cancer risk attributable to inhaled radon daughters. Inhalation of radon and thoron daughters leads to deposition in the human respiratory tract and consequent irradiation. Deposition depends on various factors, such as the size distribution of aerosols to which the daughter products of radon are attached, and fraction of unattached daughters. On average, the dose to the basal cell layer in the lung is about 5 to 8 times higher than the dose in the pulmonary region.

RESUMEN

The first fully on-line use of the angular distribution of beta emission in detection of NMR of nuclei oriented at low temperatures is reported. The magnetic moments of the single valence particle, intermediate mass, isotopes 67Ni(nup(-1)(1/2);1/2(-)) and 69Cu(pip(1)(3/2);3/2(-)) are measured to be +0.601(5) &mgr;(N) and +2.84(1) &mgr;(N), respectively, revealing only a small deviation from the neutron p(1/2) single-particle value in the former and a large deviation from the proton p(3/2) single-particle value in the latter. Quantitative interpretation is given in terms of core polarization and meson-exchange currents.

RESUMEN

Cardiogenic shock is the most important fatal complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This syndrome may be considered as a severe form of left ventricular failure and the mortality rate is very high. According to the clinical classification, Killip class IV ranges from 60 to 95%, depending on authors. Shock occurs in about 15-20% of patients with AMI and accounts for at least 70% of the in-hospital deaths. During 1994, 168 patients with AMI were treated at the Intensive Care Unit of the Zagreb General Hospital, of which 14 (8.2%) developed cardiogenic shock. Ten patients experienced the first myocardial infarction, and 4 were admitted because of the second myocardial infarction, that time of anterior localization. Signs of cardiogenic shock were present in 8 (57.1%) patients already on admission. Three patients developed cardiogenic shock during the first 10 hours of hospitalization and further 3 patients during the initial 4 to 15 days of treatment. Older age prevailed. Eleven (78.5%) persons were older than 60 years of age. Eight patients demonstrated anterior infarction, 4 had inferior infarction and 2 non-Q-wave infraction. All patients had signs of left ventricular failure evidenced by pulmonary edema (Killip class IV) and later complicated by arrhythmia. Of the 14 patients who had AMI with the shock syndrome, 13 (92.8%) died; 5 (35.7%) patients during the first 2 hours, 3 (21.4%) within 24 hours of infarction, and 5 (35.7%) patients during the initial 4 to 25 days of treatment. Patients were treated conservatively, and only 3 patients received thrombolytic therapy, namely, streptokinase.
