Application of characteristic X-rays to measure linear attenuation coefficient of nano-composites used in shielding
Using of X-rays in different industries and especially in medical application is increasing. In this regard, designing of light and efficient protective material based on polymeric nanocomposites and precise study of the effect of adding nanoparticles with different sizes on the X-ray attenuation is necessary. In this study the epoxy nanocomposites with different percentages of copper oxide nan...
متن کاملSpectra of molecular changes induced in DNA of Drosophila spermatozoa by 1-ethyl-1-nitrosourea and X-rays.
Mutations induced in Drosophila spermatozoa at the alcohol dehydrogenase Adh locus by 1-ethyl-1-nitrosourea (ENU) were compared to X-ray-induced mutations using genetic tests for complementation, southern blotting, western blotting and northern blotting. 8 of 10 ENU-induced mutations complemented all known adjacent loci and were presumed to be intragenic. In contrast, 8 of 30 X-ray-induced muta...
متن کاملGenetic damage at specific gene loci in Drosophila with betatron X-rays.
The mutation rate was determined for mature sperm at eight specific gene loci on the third chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster using the low ion density radiations of 22 Mev betatron X-rays. A dose of 3000 rads of betatron X-rays produced a mutation rate of 4.36 X 10(-8) per rad/locus. Among the mutations observed, 66% were recessive lethals and 34% viable when homozygous. Only one of the 24 ...
متن کاملComparison of X-ray and gamma-ray dose-response curves for pink somatic mutations in Tradescantia clone 02.
Microdosimetric data indicate that the mean specific energy, eta, produced by individual charged particles from X-rays and gamma rays is different for the two radiation qualities by nearly a factor of two. In order to test whether this influences the initial, linear component in the dose-effect relations, a comparison was made between dose-response curves for pink somatic mutations in Tradescan...
متن کاملThe effects of X rays on the bronze and shrunken loci in maize.
INCE the discovery by MULLER with Drosophila (1927) and by STADLER with barley (1928) that the frequency of visible and lethal mutations is greatly increased by X-irradiation, a wide variety of organisms has been subjected to X-ray treatment by different investigators to elucidate the nature of the induced genetic changes. Although it is generally accepted that the majority of these mutations a...
