The intensity of concerns in the aspect of radioprotection starts from a series of factors that condition the level and doses of exposure of the population to sources of ionizing radiation, thus determining the medical, social, economic and demographic effects in the characteristic of a medico-social problem. Radon, through its contribution to the creation of the natural radioactive background, has a crucial role in the etiology of oncological diseases of broncho-pulmonary origin, leukemias and other pathologies. Long-term exposure to increased concentrations of radon and the association of other risk factors, such as tobacco consumption, causes the alteration of cellular metabolism processes, the damage of DNA and RNA nucleic acids, the formation of free radicals and the appearance of mutations that can constantly trigger lung cancer. The continuous monitoring of residential radon concentrations is a primary objective within the strategy to control and reduce the long-term negative effects of radon, being a main element of the action plan of the EURATOM Directive 59/2013.","PeriodicalId":486379,"journal":{"name":"Analele Universităţii \"Dunărea de Jos\" din Galaţi","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136070669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the ecological reconstruction of contaminated sites from the petroleum industry, natural geological resources are used to fill the excavations resulting from the decommissioning of some equipment and installations. Increasing amounts of sewage sludge are generated by the growing number of municipal wastewater treatment plants. For this reason, solutions are being sought for the elimination or utilization of sewage sludge. For the decontamination of soils polluted with petroleum hydrocarbons, bioremediation technologies with the help of microorganisms, especially bacteria are used on a large scale. From the results carried out in the present study, it appears that sewage sludge has microbiological, agrochemical, and geotechnical characteristics, which could make possible their utilization for the ecological reconstruction of sites contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbon. Thus, it would be possible to capitalize on the sewage sludge in the petroleum industry.","PeriodicalId":486379,"journal":{"name":"Analele Universităţii \"Dunărea de Jos\" din Galaţi","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136070670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is an important within-person variation or intraclass variation that produces different patters such as the geometry or iris pigmentation details that change over time or could be different when the right iris and left iris are analyzed. Moreover, the sensing environment such as ambient lighting variations, eye rotation due to the head tilt or inconsistent iris size due to the distance from the camera can also introduce within-person variation. In this paper, we apply the fuzzy edges detection, in a comparative fashion between right iris and left iris, to find the interoperability capability of a particular biometric trait determined primarily by genotype. In other words, we investigated the degree of variation of the irises of the same person. The structural similarity index measure (SSIM) is implemented to investigate the structural similarity between two iris codes. Prior to the similarity analysis, the segmented iris (i.e., annular area between pupil and sclera) is the edges detection based on the fuzzy edge is performed. This operation allows comparisons between the right iris and left iris without any influence of the stretch or dilation of the pupil induced by different illumination conditions. Also, we can estimate if the left and right irises belong to the same or to different individuals. The proposed approach is tested on the MMU1 Iris Database (with 225 images of the left eye and 225 images of the right eye). An average SSIM value of 0.9216, indicates that proposed iris biometrics model effectively differentiates between left and right eyes of the same person. Also, this result indicates that there is recognizable similarity between left and right irises. These results could be useful for certain applications devoted to detect anomalies in the human irises that could be associated to various diseases.","PeriodicalId":486379,"journal":{"name":"Analele Universităţii \"Dunărea de Jos\" din Galaţi","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136070672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
