Radiation from natural and artificial elements bombards the earth The radiation environment depends on energy distribution particle spectra. affects most electronic components, especially ICs (ICs). High nuclear reactors space damage but earth's components also do. Semiconductors are radiation-sensitive, hence need shielding. operation performance of devices affected by these effects. type, ene...

Reliable information on the heat distribution inside biological tissues is essential for the planning and optimization of experiments which aim to study the effects of non-ionizing radiation (NIR). In electrodynamics, the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique has become the dominant technique for radiofrequency dosimetry. In order to obtain the electromagnetic field and heat distributi...

Abstract The question about the stability of certain biomolecules is directly connected to life-detection missions aiming search for past or present life beyond Earth. extreme conditions experienced on extraterrestrial planet surface ( e.g. Mars), characterized by ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, CO 2 -atmosphere reactive species, may destroy hypothetical traces life. In this context, study...

Studies among long-term survivors of childhood cancer who had received high-dose irradiation therapy of 4-60 Gy, demonstrated acute and chronic dental effects, including periodontal diseases. However, the possible effects of low to moderate doses of radiation on dental health are sparse. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between childhood exposure to low-moderate doses of ...

Title of Thesis: NON-INVASIVE IMAGING TECHNIQUES AS A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF SKIN DAMAGE DUE TO IONIZING RADIATION Abby Jeanne Vogel, Master of Science, 2004 Thesis Directed By: Yang Tao, Ph.D., P.E., Professor of Biological Resources Engineering This study tested the ability of two non-invasive techniques, thermography and near-infrared multi-spectral imaging, to quantitatively assess the re...

Ionizing radiation, beta-propiolactone, and acetylethyleneimine were compared for their ability as virus-inactivating agents for the preparation of rabies vaccine. Each agent reduced viral infectivity exponentially; ionizing radiation also destroyed viral hemagglutinin. The vaccine prepared by ionizing radiation was equal or superior to that prepared by beta-propiolactone in its ability to prot...

Through various researches and investigations it has been established that high doses of ionizing radiation are harmful to health. There is substantial controversy regarding the effects of low doses of ionizing radiation despite the large amount of work carried out (both laboratory and epidemiological). According to the linear no-threshold (LNT) hypothesis, any amount, however small, of radiati...
