The main objective of this event was to test different instruments and detectors for the measurements of radon gas and external gamma radiation (dose rate) in real conditions in a place where the levels of natural radiation are quite high (an old uranium mine). The activities carried out consisted not only in the practical exercises but also in different lectures given by intenational experts from different fields of natural radioactivity who are recognized worldwide. A total number of 45 recognised international participant institutions (universities, reference laboratories and commercial companies) took part and this report presents the main results obtained in all the exercises.
Stemming from the NATO Advanced Research Workshop, this book asserts that no single institution or country possesses all the resources to effectively address radiological and nuclear threats. Moreover, the book asserts that fundamental scientific challenges must be overcome to achieve new and improved technologies. In response, the book sets forth research strategies that advance the ability to counter nuclear and radiological threats.
The Radon Group from the University of Cantabria in Spain organized, in old uranium mine, a new inter-laboratory performance exercise to measure radon indoors exposure and external gamma radiation, with changing parameters of temperature, pressure and humidity. In this book are shown the results of the inter-comparison as well as discussions of the achieved results in which were involved 41 laboratories from different European countries.
Trata esta obra de los resultados, y su posterior análisis, de las mediciones realizadas en el laboratorio de radiación natural de la mina de uranio de Saelices del Chico (Salamanca) en el 2015, organizadas por el Grupo Radón de la Universidad de Cantabria, en la que tomaron parte 25 instituciones tanto de universidades como entidades públicas, empresas privadas o particulares. Los ejercicios de intercomparación son una herramienta muy útil para detectar problemas en las medidas y poder ejecutar las acciones correctoras correspondientes. Del mismo modo, sirven como herramienta para poder calibrar instrumentos frente a patrones internacionales.
Catedrático de Radiología y Medicina Física de la Universidad de Cantabria y secretario del Departamento de Ciencias Médicas y Quirúrgicas. Como reconocimiento a la obra y legado de Jesús Soto Torres, han deseado los diversos autores contribuir con estos estudios a su recuerdo.

"This set of books represents a detailed compendium of authoritative, research-based entries that define the contemporary state of knowledge on technology"--Provided by publisher.
About Trees considers our relationship with language, landscape, perception, and memory in the Anthropocene. The book includes texts and artwork by a stellar line up of contributors including Jorge Luis Borges, Andrea Bowers, Ursula K. Le Guin, Ada Lovelace and dozens of others. Holten was artist in residence at Buro BDP. While working on the book she created an alphabet and used it to make a new typeface called Trees. She also made a series of limited edition offset prints based on her Tree Drawings.
¿Fue el asesinato de Carrero Blanco un magnicidio maldito? ¿Quiénes ganaron con la muerte del almirante y presidente del Gobierno? Cincuenta años después del atentado que hizo saltar por los aires el búnker franquista, seguimos sin conocer toda la verdad sobre la trama que arropó el magnicidio del presidente Carrero Blanco y que condicionó el devenir de la historia de España. La desaparición del delfín de Franco supuso un estoque inesperado para las aspiraciones de la facción inmovilista del régimen, al tiempo que impulsó los primeros pasos de la Transición, encarnada en las figuras de Juan Carlos I y Adolfo Suárez. Manuel Cerdán, periodista de investigación y autor de exit...
