A Theoretical Consideration of the Action of X-rays on the Protozoan Colpidium Colpoda
نویسنده
چکیده
1. The theory which Crowther has advanced to account for the variation of the lethal dose of roentgen rays among the individuals of a group of Colpidium colpoda is reviewed. 2. It is shown that the use of his small-body theory to explain the small value of lambda(e) leads to certain further assumptions about the nature of the destructive effect. 3. An alternative hypothesis is discussed.

Validation of computed tomography-based attenuation correction of deviation between theoretical and actual values for four computed tomography scanners
Objective: In this study, we aimed to validate the accuracy of computed tomography-based attenuation correction (CTAC) using the bilinear scaling method.Methods: The measured attenuation coefficient (μm) was compared to a theoretical attenuation coefficient (μt ) using four different CT scanners and an RMI 467 phantom. The effective energy of the CT beam X-rays was calculated, using the aluminu...
متن کاملCix. the Rate of Reproduction in Artificial Culture of Colpidium
IN a previous paper [Cutler and Crump, 1923] an account of experiments on mass cultures of Colpidium colpoda was given; the present communication deals with similar experiments carried out on cultures containing one or more cells isolated into one cubic centimetre or less of culture solution. The objects of these experiments have been to discover whether the results obtained from cultures conta...

متن کاملQuantum Relations in Photoreactivation of Colpidium
1. The amount of visible or long ultraviolet light (UV) required to photoreactivate Colpidium colpoda injured with known dosages of short UV (2654 A) was determined. 2. The effect of the short UV was tested by the delay in division of exposed animals compared to controls. Photoreactivation was tested by the effect of postillumination on the delay of division of treated colpidia compared to cont...
