Moving from under the lamppost: can epidemiologists and radiobiologists work together?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Understanding and evaluating the health eects of prolonged exposure to low radiation doses, as opposed to shorter exposure to higher doses, has still a long way to go. Answers to these questions cannot be provided by epidemiological studies alone, and so the input of radiobiologists to help focus the work of epidemiologists will become increasingly important in the future. This paper discusses the current research status in this ®eld and emphasizes the importance of interaction between radiation epidemiologists and radiation biologists.

An Analytical Solution on Size Dependent Longitudinal Dynamic Response of SWCNT Under Axial Moving Harmonic Load
The main purposes of the present work are devoted to the investigation of the free axial vibration, as well as the time-dependent and forced axial vibration of a SWCNT subjected to a moving load. The governing equation is derived through using Hamilton's principle. Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory has been utilized to analyze the nonlocal behaviors of SWCNT. A Galerkin method based on a clo...

متن کاملResponse Spectra of Structures under Subway Induced Vibrations
Passing underground trains induce vibrations transmitted to the ground surface and the nearby structures. Ordinarily, these vibrations do not result in structural damage but can harm nonstructural elements and disturb the occupants. These effects are more pronounced when evaluating buildings like hospitals, laboratories, museums, etc., and their assessment is an important design need. To respon...
متن کاملOn the response spectra of cracked beams under different types of moving force
In this paper, the dynamic responses of cracked beams under different moving forces, including moving load, moving mass, moving oscillator, and four-degrees-of-freedom moving system, are investigated. Structural elements such as beams are designed to withstand the predicted loads, but unfortunately, they are always exposed to unpredictable damage such as cracks. Several factors may cause these ...
