Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Creating a sustainable network in biological and retrospective dosimetry that involves a large number of experienced laboratories throughout the European Union (EU) will significantly improve the accident and emergency response capabilities in case of a large-scale radiological emergency. A well-organised cooperative action involving EU laboratories will offer the best chance for fast and trustworthy dose assessments that are urgently needed in an emergency situation. To this end, the EC supports the establishment of a European network in biological dosimetry (RENEB). The RENEB project started in January 2012 involving cooperation of 23 organisations from 16 European countries. The purpose of RENEB is to increase the biodosimetry capacities in case of large-scale radiological emergency scenarios. The progress of the project since its inception is presented, comprising the consolidation process of the network with its operational platform, intercomparison exercises, training activities, proceedings in quality assurance and horizon scanning for new methods and partners. Additionally, the benefit of the network for the radiation research community as a whole is addressed.

Realising the European Network of Biodosimetry (RENEB)

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In Europe, a network for biological dosimetry has been created to strengthen the emergency preparedness and response capabilities in case of a large-scale nuclear accident or radiological emergency. Through the RENEB (Realising the European Network of Biodosimetry) project, 23 experienced laboratories from 16 European countries will establish a sustainable network for rapid, comprehensive and standardised biodosimetry provision that would be urgently required in an emergency situation on European ground. The foundation of the network is formed by five main pillars: (1) the ad hoc operational basis, (2) a basis of future developments, (3) an effective quality-management system, (4) arrangements to guarantee long-term sustainability and (5) awareness of the existence of RENEB. RENEB will thus provide a mechanism for quick, efficient and reliable support within the European radiation emergency management. The scientific basis of RENEB will concurrently contribute to increased safety in the field of radiation protection.

Land and Freshwater Complex Interactions in Boreal Forests: A Neglected Topic in Forest Management
- 2023
-
In: Boreal Forests in the Face of Climate Change. - Cham : Springer International Publishing. - 9783031159886 - 9783031159879 - 9783031159909 ; 74, s. 719-745
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Aquatic and terrestrial habitats are interdependent components of the boreal forest landscape involving multiple dynamic interactions; these are manifested particularly in riparian areas, which are key components in the forest landscape. However, this interdependence between aquatic and terrestrial habitats is not adequately accounted for in the current management of forest ecosystems. Here we review the impacts of land disturbances on the optical and physicochemical properties of water bodies, aquatic food web health, and the ecological functioning of these freshwaters. We also describe how freshwaters influence the adjacent terrestrial ecosystems. A better understanding of these dynamic biotic and abiotic interactions between land and freshwater of the boreal forest is a first step toward including these freshwaters in the sustainable management of the boreal forest.

Promoterless GUS expression in a large number of Arabidopsis thaliana transformants obtained by the in planta infiltration method
- 1995
-
In: Comptes rendus de l'Académie des sciences. Série 3, Sciences de la vie. - 0764-4469 .- 1878-5565. ; 318:4, s. 465-474

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A large number of Arabidopsis thaliana transformant T2 families were obtained using in planta infiltration method. A T-DNA containing 2 resistance genes for the selection of the transformants and the promoterless gus gene for promoter-trapping was transferred from the Agrobacterium cells to the plant genome. The GUS activity of each transformant was tested histochemically an 15-day-old seedlings grown in vitro either under light or dark conditions. For each transformant, the GUS activity spatial pattern in plant organs and tissues and the light influence on the GUS activity were studied. Vast variation of GUS activity spatial patterns was observed. A majority of transformants displayed a strictly light-dependent GUS activity Lastly, it was seen that certain transformants could give variable GUS patterns at different stages of development. These spatial, temporal and light-dependent GUS activity features allowed us to characterize the activity of the putative corresponding promoter.
