Oxygen in space radiation biology
Ionizing radiation at low LET is more effective in the presence of oxygen than in its absence in producing most biological effects. Most experimental radiobiological irradiations are conducted in the presence of oxygen at sufficient concentration to produce a “full oxygen effect”. To understand the full oxygen effect it is helpful to review the traditional definition of OER, which is the ratio ...
متن کاملNew advances in radiation biology.
Current understanding of risk associated with low-dose radiation exposure has for many years been embedded in the linear-no-threshold (LNT) approach, based on simple extrapolation from the Japanese atomic bomb survivors. Radiation biology research has supported the LNT approach although much of this has been limited to relatively high-dose studies. Recently, with new advances for studying effec...
متن کاملDetermination of Dose-Equivalent Response of A Typical Diamond Microdosimeter in Space Radiation Fields
Introduction: Microdosimeters are helpful for dose equivalent measurement in unknown radiation fields. The favorable physical and mechanical properties of the detector-grade chemical vapor deposition diamond materials have made the diamond microdosimeters suitable candidate for radioprotection applications in space. The purpose of this work is the investigation of the dose equivalent response o...

It is a truly great honor Jbr me to introduce Dr. H. Rodney Withers, the recipient of the Charles F. Kettering Prize on this, the 20th anniversary of the General Motors Cancer Research Foundation awards. Dr. Withers is receiving the Kettering Prize for his exceptional contributions to the field of modern radiotherapy. Dr. Withers received his medical degree from the University of Queensland Med...
متن کاملRadiation Protection Dosimetry in Pulsed Radiation Fields
The application of pulsed radiation fields for research, security screening and medical examinations has increased remarkably in the last years. Testing of active personal and area dosemeters for the operation in pulsed radiation fields is a necessity to judge the suitability of the dosemeter. Up to now, radiation protection dosemeters have only been tested in continuous fields, although they a...
