Understanding low radiation background biology through controlled evolution experiments
Biological experiments conducted in underground laboratories over the last decade have shown that life can respond to relatively small changes in the radiation background in unconventional ways. Rapid changes in cell growth, indicative of hormetic behaviour and long-term inheritable changes in antioxidant regulation have been observed in response to changes in the radiation background that shou...
متن کاملRadiation shielding for underground low - background experiments
The design task of creating an efficient radiation shield for the new COBRA double-beta decay experiment led to a comprehensive study of commercially available shielding materials. The aim was to find the most efficient combination of materials under the constraints of an extreme low-background experiment operating in a typical underground laboratory. All existing shield configurations for this...
متن کاملConsolidated Review of Understanding IPv6 Background Radiation
While the authors don't point out implications, it does seem that there are important consequences for routing configuration and end-to-end routing availability in section 5. The paper does not provide explanations for some of the key observations. For example, one observation that really struck is the much higher level of routing instability in IPv6. Is this due to routing misconfiguration? If...
متن کاملSimulating the Impact of the Natural Radiation Background on Bacterial Systems: Implications for Very Low Radiation Biological Experiments
At very low radiation dose rates, the effects of energy depositions in cells by ionizing radiation is best understood stochastically, as ionizing particles deposit energy along tracks separated by distances often much larger than the size of cells. We present a thorough analysis of the stochastic impact of the natural radiative background on cells, focusing our attention on E. coli grown as par...
متن کاملTheoretical Implications of Microwave Background Radiation Anisotropy Experiments
Observational results from several experiments like COBE, SP, Saskatoon, PYTHON, ARGO, MAX, MSAM, Tenerife and CAT are considered and a comparison is made with predictions from several models. Conclusions are reached about the viability of current structure formation models.
