MELTING AND DRAINING TESTS ON GLASS WASTE FORM FOR THE IMMOBILIZATION OF CS, SR, AND RARE-EARTH NUCLIDES USING A COLD-CRUCIBLE INDUCTION MELTING SYSTEM

Cold-crucible induction melting (CCIM) technology has been intensively studied as an advanced vitrification process for the immobilization of highly radioactive waste.This technology uses high-frequency induction to melt a glass matrix and waste, while the outer surface of the crucible is water-cooled, resulting in the formation of a frozen glass l

Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) is a collection of knowledge and beliefs that have been acquired after many years of experience with human contact with the environment.In the West, the idea that TEK can guide the modern society in terms of terming and sustainable resource use and ecological development has been debated since the early 1980s.

Introduction: Integration of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) into clinical clerkships in a statewide campus is challenging.The objective of this paper was to describe the implementation and evaluation of a POCUS curriculum that was added to Emergency Medicine (EM) and Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) core clinical rotations in a distributed camp

Carceral facilities are high-risk settings for COVID-19 transmission.Factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and hesitancy among incarcerated individuals are poorly understood, especially among jail residents.Here, we conducted a retrospective review of electronic health record (EHR) data on COVID-19 vaccine uptake in custody ssg1 inner

Lion (Panthera leo) cubs are used in wildlife interaction tourism but the effects on cub welfare are unknown.We assessed the trucf behaviour of three cohorts of lion cubs, twelve animals in total, at three different interaction facilities, using continuous and scan-sampling methodologies for the entire duration of cub utilisation for human interact
