Ionizing Dose Rate Effects in Microprocessors

Dose and dose-rate effects of ionizing radiation: a discussion in the light of radiological protection.

The biological effects on humans of low-dose and low-dose-rate exposures to ionizing radiation have always been of major interest. The most recent concept as suggested by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is to extrapolate existing epidemiological data at high doses and dose rates down to low doses and low dose rates relevant to radiological protection, using the so...

Multi-Level Effects of Low Dose Rate Ionizing Radiation on Southern Toad, Anaxyrus [Bufo] terrestris

Despite their potential vulnerability to contaminants from exposure at multiple life stages, amphibians are one of the least studied groups of vertebrates in ecotoxicology, and research on radiation effects in amphibians is scarce. We used multiple endpoints to assess the radiosensitivity of the southern toad (Anaxyrus [Bufo] terrestris) during its pre-terrestrial stages of development -embryon...

Low-dose or low-dose-rate ionizing radiation–induced bioeffects in animal models

Animal experimental studies indicate that acute or chronic low-dose ionizing radiation (LDIR) (≤100 mSv) or low-dose-rate ionizing radiation (LDRIR) (<6 mSv/h) exposures may be harmful. It induces genetic and epigenetic changes and is associated with a range of physiological disturbances that includes altered immune system, abnormal brain development with resultant cognitive impairment, catarac...

TOTAL IONIZING DOSE EFFECTS IN ADVANCED CMOS TECHNOLOGIES By

Professor Sokrates T. Pantelides ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would first of all like to thank my husband Pierre who has been supportive and patient with me on my journey of attaining a Ph.D. He believed in me even when I did not believe in myself, he listened countless times to my presentations and helped me perfect them. I would also like to thank my parents and my sister Myriam for everything they h...
