Beryllium  oxide  (BeO)  nanopowder  was  synthesized  using  sol-gel method  and  the  effects  of  changes of  chemical  reagents  were investigated.  Because  of  tissue  equivalence  and  other  outstanding thermoluminescence  (TL) properties of  the bulk material  in X and γ dosimetry, the applicability of this nanostructure in TL dosimetry was studied  following  irradiation to  the 137 C...

The types of injury attributable to ionizing radiation are subdivided, for purposes of risk assessment and radiological protection, into two broad categories: stochastic effects and nonstochastic effects. Stochastic effects are viewed as probablistic phenomena, varying in frequency but not severity as a function of the dose, without any threshold; nonstochastic effects are viewed as determinist...

Background: Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are among the most promising radiosensitive materials in radiotherapy. Studying the effective sensitizing factors such as nanoparticle size, concentration, surface features, radiation energy and cell type can help to optimize the effect and possible clinical application of GNPs in radiation therapy. In this study, the radiation sensitive polymer gel was use...

background: the accurate results of the individual doses in personal dosimety which are reported by the service providers in personal dosimetry are very important. there are national / international criteria for acceptable dosimetry system performance. objective: in this research, the sources of uncertainties are identified, measured and calculated in a personal dosimetry system by tld. method:...

SY 1, Dose-response curves for the pressor activity of angiotensin I1 have been determined in unanaesthetized rats receiving diets containing 25% (wlw) or 0.007% (wlw) sodium; thedifferent diets were administered in various sequences. 2. In comparison with those from rats receiving a low sodium diet, the doss-response curves were displaced to the left on the high sodium diet, indicating a great...
