MULTIPLE CARCINOMATA FOLLOWING CHRONIC X-RAY DERMATITIS

A Case of Multiple Primary Carcinomata

Linearly Polarized X-ray Flares following Short Gamma-ray Bursts

Soft X-ray flares were detected to follow the short-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 050724. The temporal properties of the flares suggest that they are likely due to the late time activity of the central engine. We argue that if short GRBs are generated through compact star mergers, as is supported by the recent observations, the jet powering the late X-ray flares must be launched via magnetic pro...

Importance of X-ray in chronic stridor.

Dear Sirs We read with interest the recent letter entitled ‘Importance of X-ray in chronic stridor’ in the March edition of the JLO. The advice given was that foreign body ingestion is best investigated with X-ray and treated with rigid endoscopy or the use of a Foley balloon catheter under fluoroscopic control. Our experience is quite different. Currently only 75 per cent of oesophageal foreig...

Multiple X-ray reflection from ionized slabs

Multiple reflection of X-rays may be important when an accretion disc and its hot corona have a complicated geometry, or if returning radiation due to gravitational light bending is important, or in emission from a funnel such as proposed in some gamma-ray burst models. We simulate the effects of multiple reflection by modifying the boundary condition for an X-ray illuminated slab. Multiple ref...
