Ionising radiation, such as gamma rays, X-rays and radioactive particles can cause cancer by damaging DNA. However, how this happens, or how many tumours are caused by radiationdamagehas not been known. Previous work on cancer had revealed that DNA damage often leaves a molecular fingerprint, ...
Electrical power engineering is a field that involves the interaction, designing, and maintenance of systems and components like electrical reactors, electrical power plants, or electrical weapons. It also includes the study of medical and other applications of radiation, particularly ionising radiation, ...
also expose patients to ionizing radiation, CT has appropriately received the greatest scrutiny because of the relatively high radiation dose per exam – although it comprises about 15% of all medical imaging procedures, it produces approximately half of the population's medical radiation exposure [4...
Exposure models are essential in almost all relevant contexts for exposure science. To address the numerous challenges and gaps that exist, exposure modelling is one of the priority areas of the European Exposure Science Strategy developed by the Europea
Surprisingly, many cells are produced during development with an ultimate fate of death, and defects in programmed cell death can result in developmental abnormalities. Recent studies indicate that cells can die by many different mechanisms, and these differences have implications for proper animal ...
The many faces of space The continuation of space exploration in a variety of industries is positively impacting lives around the world in more ways than just one. This upward movement is mostly driven by on-Earth uses, like internet connections and TV reception. These uses are projected t...
The majority of these are man-made and our bodies have had no time to adjust to them. About 60,000-70,000 synthetic chemicals are currently in use[3] and since the beginning of atomic age, background levels of radiation have increased substantially. We may be living longer, but many of...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an established technique which over the years has made it possible for researchers and healthcare professionals to study biological phenomena in the body without using ionising radiation, for example X-rays.
It can be concluded that autoclave is discarded by most authors, except in 3D printing, which seems to be gaining relevance. Ionising radiation (gamma radiation and electron beam) can be effective as long as the dose is controlled to avoid severe changes. The HPGP and new scCO2seem to be...
