UAV-based airborne gamma-ray spectrometry enables rapid radiation mapping, but accurate estimation of ground-level ambient dose rates is difficult because of altitude attenuation, detector field-of-view effects, heterogeneous contamination, and terrain variability. We developed a practical method combining hovering-flight calibration and ground-based validation near the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Altitude correction factors were derived using a dual-exponential model and compared with tripod and backpack measurements. Results showed that heterogeneous contamination and terrain introduce systematic biases if correction factors are derived under non-uniform conditions, while calibration at uniform sites improves agreement. The proposed approach demonstrates that UAV airborne surveys can reliably estimate spatial dose-rate distributions when site-dependent corrections are applied.

Amino acids are essential for protein synthesis and metabolic processes in support of homeostatic balance and healthy body functions. This study quantitatively investigates eccrine sweat as a significant channel for loss of amino acids during exercise, to improve an understanding of amino acid turnover and to provide feedback to users on the need for supplement intake. The measurement platform consists of a soft, skin-interfaced microfluidic system for real-time analysis of amino acid content in eccrine sweat. This system relies on integrated fluorometric assays and smartphone-based imaging techniques for quantitative analysis.

Gamma decays were observed in Ca and Ca following quasi-free one-proton knockout reactions from Sc. For Ca, a ray transition was measured to be 1456(12) keV, while for Ca an indication for a transition was observed at 1115(34) keV. Both transitions were tentatively assigned as the decays. A shell-model calculation in a wide model space with a marginally modified effective nucleon-nucleon interaction depicts excellent agreement with experiment for level energies, two-neutron separation energies, and reaction cross sections, corroborating the formation of a new nuclear shell above the N = 34 shell. Its constituents, the and orbitals, are almost degenerate. This degeneracy precludes the possibility for a doubly magic Ca and potentially drives the dripline of Ca isotopes to Ca or even beyond.
