Isotope- and Element-Resolved Analysis of (Trans)uranium Content of Curium Targets for Heavy-Actinide Production after Intense Neutron Irradiation in the High Flux Isotope Reactor

Abstract Curium is the heaviest element resulting from nuclear power generation and is present in spent nuclear fuel. Macroscopic amounts of transcurium elements are produced by high thermal-neutron flux irradiation of curium targets in a complex process involving many neutron ca...

Evaluating the consequences of childhood adiposity on the human plasma proteome at four timepoints across the lifecourse

Abstract Applying a lifecourse approach using human genetic data, we evaluate the effect of childhood adiposity on the circulating proteome using measurements taken at four key life stages. Using lifecourse Mendelian randomization, we find genetically predicted childhood adiposit...

Effects of maternal and paternal smoking on offspring cardiometabolic risk factors in adulthood: a multi-method intergenerational Mendelian randomization study

Abstract Background Parental smoking has been linked to several adverse offspring cardiometabolic outcomes; however, evidence is conflicting regarding the causal and long-term nature of these associations. Methods We investigated the effects of maternal and paternal smoking, capt...
