In these special cases, the quantitative properties of high-resolution PET images should be validated using dedicated phantoms preferably avoiding artificial non-radioactive layers caused by plastic walls in commercial fillable phantoms [14].
One of the things that struck me the most was seeing mounds and mounds of radioactive dirt, layers and layers of dirt, scraped off the ground all around the plant and then piled up and covered up.
Furthermore, the fillable acrylic glass spheres in the phantoms separate the hot spheres from the background activity by a non-radioactive layer, which does not mimic the physiologic reality and cause quantitative errors [14], particularly for small diameters.
Recently, using a radioactive thin layer chromatography based assay, Denu et al. demonstrated that Sirt1 and Sirt2 can catalyze the removal of a crotonyl group from a histone H3K9Cr peptide (Feldman et al., 2013).

There are two layers of radioactive sediment beneath the waters of Loch Ness.
Researchers then scoured the globe for thin layers of radioactive isotopes in rock strata and in 1999 struck figurative gold: Samples from beneath the ocean revealed some hard metallic layers, known as ferromanganese crusts that form slowly over millions of years, containing iron-60, an isotope with a half-life of 2.6 million years—so short that the material must be much younger than Earth.
Dating of sediment layers by radioactive-decay measurements or by examination of the traces in rocks of reversals of Earth's magnetic poles (which occur every few million years) shows that the rate of accumulation of pelagic sediment in the Atlantic is 0.4 to 0.8 inch (1 to 2 cm) per thousand years.
In 1955, a year after the U.S. test of a hydrogen bomb in the Bikini Atoll blanketed the globe with a thin layer of radioactive fallout, a group of scientists issued a manifesto against the development, testing and use of nuclear weapons.
A layer with radioactive isotope 60Co was deposited on one of the austenitic alloy surfaces.
A layer with radioactive isotope 63Ni or a mixture of isotopes 55,59Fe was deposited on one of the austenitic alloy surfaces.
