Elemental distribution in zircon: Alteration and radiation-damage effects

Radiation Damage Effects

Radiation damage is an important issue for the particle detectors operated in a hostile environment where radiations from various sources are expected. This is particularly important for high energy physics detectors designed for the energy and intensity frontiers. This chapter describes the radiation damage effects in scintillating crystals, including the scintillation-mechanism damage, the ra...

Protective effects of famotidine and vitamin C against radiation induced cellular damage in mouse spermatogenesis process

Background: Radioprotective effect of famotidine was previously shown on radiation induced micronuclei and chromosomal aberrations in human peripheral lymphocytes and mouse bone marrow cells however, its radioprotective property has never been studied in mouse spermatogenesis. It was also shown that vitamin C as an antioxidant also exert its radioprotective effect on many biological s...

Radiation Effects and Damage 1. Ionizing Radiations

The detrimental consequences of radiation are referred to as radiation damage. To understand the effects of radiation, one must first be familiar with the radiations and their interaction mechanisms. Further, the fundamental characteristics of the material(s) being irradiated must also be understood. A brief summary of the characteristics of radiation is first presented below. This is followed ...

patterns and variations in native and non-native interlanguage pragmatic rating: effects of rater training, intercultural proficiency, and self-assessment

although there are studies on pragmatic assessment, to date, literature has been almost silent about native and non-native english raters’ criteria for the assessment of efl learners’ pragmatic performance. focusing on this topic, this study pursued four purposes. the first one was to find criteria for rating the speech acts of apology and refusal in l2 by native and non-native english teachers...
