Sommario/riassunto

This book, published by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in 2023, details the outcomes of a decade of remediation efforts in Japan following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. It consolidates findings from four expert meetings held in collaboration with Japan's Ministry of the Environment, focusing on environmental recovery of off-site areas affected by radioactive contamination. The publication aims to improve living conditions for those impacted by the accident and shares technical assessments, advice, and lessons learned. Intended for a global audience, it serves as a resource for understanding the progress and challenges in nuclear safety and environmental remediation.

Sommario/riassunto

This book summarizes what is currently known about gravity sensing and response mechanisms in microorganisms, fungi, lower and higher plants; starting from the historical eye-opening experiments from the 19th century up to today’s extremely rapid advancing cellular, molecular and biotechnological research. All forms of life are constantly exposed to gravity and it can be assumed that almost all organisms



have developed sensors and respond in one way or the other to the unidirectional acceleration force,this books shows us some of these different ways. The book is written for plant biologists and microbiologists as well as scientists interested in space and gravitational biology.
