متن کاملNon-targeted biological effects of ionising radiation
The universality of the target theory of radiation-induced effects is challenged by observations on non-targeted effects such as bystander effects and genomic instability. Essential features of non-targeted effects are that they do not require direct nuclear exposure by radiation and they are particularly significant at low doses. This new evidence suggests a need for a new paradigm in radiatio...
متن کاملIonising radiation effects on MOSFET drain current
In these last years several works have been devoted to study the radiation effect in CMOS components with ultrathin gate oxide, showing that different types of leakage current can be produced by high-energy ionizing radiation. Radiation Induced Leakage Current (RILC) [1-2], Radiation Soft Breakdown (RSB) [3-5], and Single Event Gate Rupture (SEGR) [6] represent the most important degradation ph...
متن کاملEffects of Low-Dose Ionising Radiation
Recent years there have been a number of discussions about the magnitude of the health risks resulting from the exposure to low levels of ionising radiation mainly within the American Health Physics Society, the French Academy of Sciences and the Canadian Radiation Protection Association. Essentially, the debate has centred on the question of linearity, i.e., whether to assume that the probabil...
متن کاملLow levels of ionising radiation may cause harm.
The report's focus is low-dose, low-LET — "linear energy transfer" — ionizing radiation that is energetic enough to break biomolecular bonds. In living organisms, such radiation can cause DNA damage that eventually leads to cancers. However, more research is needed to determine whether low doses of radiation may also cause other health problems, such as heart disease and stroke, which are now s...
