AN INVERSE PROBLEM WITH UNKNOWN RADIATION TERM

In this paper, we consider an inverse problem of linear heat equation with nonlinear boundary condition. We identify the temperature and the unknown radiation tern from an overspecified condition on the boundary

Radiation risks in perspective: radiation-induced cancer among cancer risks.

The majority of the public in industrial countries believes that pollution and low doses of radiation are threats to good health. As a matter of fact, when these putative risks are compared to those originating from lifestyle, they appear very small. In particular, the risks associated with low doses of irradiation, even when they are assessed with the most pessimistic models, appear extremely ...

Nanoparticles – known and unknown health risks

Manmade nanoparticles range from the well-established multi-ton production of carbon black and fumed silica for applications in plastic fillers and car tyres to microgram quantities of fluorescent quantum dots used as markers in biological imaging. As nano-sciences are experiencing massive investment worldwide, there will be a further rise in consumer products relying on nanotechnology. While b...
