It has been shown recently that death of cells simultaneously exposed to ionizing radiation and static electric fields is substantially higher than in cells only irradiated, suggesting that a static electric field interferes with cell repair mechanisms. In the present work, T47D breast cancer cells were firstly irradiated with 1 and 2 Gy of gamma radiation, and then exposed to a SEF of 1250 V/c...

Sistemi informatici sempre più complessi sono ormai costantemente parte della vita di tutti i giorni di milioni di persone. Le applicazioni software che gestiscono questi sistemi informatici diventano man mano sempre più grosse e difficili da gestire e per questo l’incidenza del numero di bug al loro interno è diventata sempre più alta.
