New challenges in radiobiology research with microbeams

Radiobiology for Space Research

New directions in research bring new clinical challenges.

Charles H. Dankmeyer Jr, CPO Sputnik! On October 4th, 1957, Russia launched the first satellite into successful space orbit. I was 13 years old and remember how that event rocked America. Between playing ball and riding bicycles, my friends and I were enjoying the pleasure of watching the older boys hot rod their old Fords and Chevys. Listening to the sweet sounds of Hollywood pipes sing their ...

New HDL Research Challenges posed by Dynamically

Dynamically re-programmable hardware (e.g. Field Programmable Gate Arrays or FPGAs) change many of our basic assumptions of what hardware is. Normal hardware design focuses on the development of a static circuit of xed size, topology and functionality. The static nature of the target design entity is re ected in the design of CAD tools, hardware description languages, net-list representations a...

Radiobiology and gray science: flaws in landmark new radiation protections.

The International Commission on Radiological Protection--whose regularly updated recommendations are routinely adopted as law throughout the globe--recently issued the first-ever ICRP protections for the environment. These draft 2005 proposals are significant both because they offer the commission's first radiation protections for any non-human parts of the planet and because they will influenc...
