Radiation limits: EEC rules soon

Biological exposure limits: the fetus and EEC politics.

New Limits on Gravitational Radiation using Pulsars

We calculate a new gravitational wave background limit using timing residuals from PSRs J1713+0747, B1855+09, and B1937+21. The new limit is based on 17 years of continuous data pieced together from 3 different observing projects: 2 at the Arecibo Observatory and 1 at the 140ft Green Bank Telescope. This project represents the earliest results from the ‘Pulsar Timing Array’ which will soon be a...

Radiation Units, Limits and Dose Constraints

Y. Lemoigne and A. Caner (eds.), Radiation Protection in Medical Physics, NATO Science for Peace and Security Series B: Physics and Biophysics 1, DOI 10.1007/978-94-007-0247-9_2, © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2011 Abstract A number of radiation units exist for representing radiation dose to patients, staff, public and quantities for radiation equipment performance in radiological pract...

On Upper Limits for Gravitational Radiation

A procedure with a Bayesan approach for calculating upper limits to gravitational wave bursts from coincidence experiments with multiple detectors is described.

EEC syndrome: A rare entity

Ectrodactyly, Ectodermal dysplasia and Cleft lip/palate (EEC) syndrome is a rare combination of multiple congenital anomalies. Although the anomalies are diverse, the underlying problem arise from early embryonic ectodermal tissue defects or insults. We report a case of a baby boy who was born at 33 weeks of gestation with EEC syndrome. He died five months later of aspiration pneumonia. The man...
