چکیده
The radiation response, quantified by the dose-log survival curve, of spores Bacillus pumilus subjected to irradiation in a 150 kV x-ray beam was examined and compared with response obtained reference cobalt-60 beam. were irradiated at doses ranging from 2 kGy 11 kGy. same for both qualities within measurement uncertainties. Combining these findings our previously published data, resistance B. is determined be independent quality low high energy x-rays, electron beams, gamma beams.

Comparative Effect of 200 Kv. X-rays and Gamma Rays on the Pupae of Drosophila Melanogaster
The roentgen has been adopted as the international unit of quantity or dose of x-rays and has proved satisfactory in practice. It is based on the measurement of ionization, satisfying the physical conditions of an "absolute" measurement. Since gamma rays also produce ionization, it is therefore theoretically possible to extend this unit to these rays as well, which for practical reasons is high...

Research reported here relates to comparing the relative effectiveness of 320-kV X rays compared to Cs-137 gamma rays for two in vivo endpoints in C.B-17 mice after whole-body exposure: (1) cytotoxicity to bone marrow cells and splenocytes evaluated at 24-hours post exposure and (2) bone marrow and spleen reconstitution deficits (repopulation shortfalls) evaluated at 6 weeks post exposure. We s...

Polymer nano-composites are a group of materials that represent proper mechanical, chemical, thermal and optical properties due to the presence of certain percentages of a filler in a polymeric matrix. In this study lead oxide nanoparticles were prepared by direct precipitation method. Then the lead oxide-epoxy resin nanocomposite was prepared by mixing (without solvent) with different weight p...
متن کاملThe Relative Effects of X-Rays, Gamma Rays and Beta Rays on Chromosomal Breakage in Tradescantia.
OR some time it has been generally considered that the production of F chromosomal aberrations in Tradescantia and many other materials is essentially independent of the wave length of the exciting radiation in the region shorter than 1.5 A. This view has not been seriously questioned in recent years and to date has remained one of the fundamental tenets of radiobiology. A number of isolated in...
متن کاملRelative biological effectiveness of 31 MeV electrons, 60-Co gamma-rays and 200 KVp x-rays measured by the regression rate of splenic weight in mice.
The relative biological effectiveness of 31 MeV electrons and 6°Co gamma-rays for 200 KVp X-rays as standard was determined. As indicator, the regression rate of the splenic weight of the mouse 120 hours after whole body irradiation was adopted. When 200 KVp X-rays were chosen as standard, the relative biological effectiveness of 31 MeV electrons was 0.64 at 50% splenic regression rate and 0.72...
