Attempts should be made to minimize ionizing radiation exposure to the mother and developing fetus. Medical imaging uses relatively small amounts of radiation, and the exposure is far below the level that causes miscarriage or teratogenesis. Necessary diagnostic tests should not be withheld from pregnant patients because of f...
Alpha, beta and gamma radiation are the original and still-standing names for the three major types of radioactive decay of atomic nuclei. These are the first three letters in the Greek alphabet and represent increasing levels of biological danger upon e
There are three main types of radiations include alpha, beta, and gamma particles. Radiations are also known as electromagnetic waves. Gamma rays are the most dangerous rays. There are two kinds of radiations include ionizing and non-ionizing radiations....
What types of electromagnetic radiation are ionizing? What makes up the sun? What is electromagnetic radiation? How does the sun produce energy? What type of ionizing radiation has the highest energy? What type of radiation is the smallest in size?
One of the new methods to ensure the safety of foods during storage is irradiation with ionizing rays, namely ionizing radiation (IR). Spoilage and pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and parasites are eliminated via irradiation, and thus, the shelf life of food increases (Ic, 2022; Fukui et al., ...
Definition of low-dose rate The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) first defined low-dose rate (LDR) with respect to radiation-related cancer in its 1986 Report (UNSCEAR1986). For all types of radiation, LDR were < 0.05 mGy/min (3 mGy/h)...
What exactly is nuclear radiation? There are several types of particles or waves that may shoot out of a radioactive nucleus. Alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, and neutrons are the most common forms of ionizing (i.e. dangerous) radiation. ...
The successful invasions of TEs in genomes, despite their mutational properties, are an apparent paradox. TEs' transposition is usually strongly regulated to low value, but in some cases these elements can also show high transposition rates, which has been associated sometimes to changes in ...

While Ce and Eu are the most common dopants used in phosphors, other lanthanide ions such as Pr3+, Tb3+ and Er3+ can also be found in some compositions. There are additionally hundreds of other types of phosphors available being used for a wide rage of applications, such asphosphor thermo...
