basil plants (ocimum basilicum l.) were sprayed with salicylic acid (1mm) and exposed to ultraviolet-c (uv-c) radiation (40 wm-2) after emergence of six developed leaves. plants were grown for 18 days and exposed to uv-c for 5 mind-1 alternatively. chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoide were considered for analysis of photosynthetic pigments. the results showed that the photosynthetic pig...

Background: Lead-based radiation shields are widely used in radiology departments to protect both workers and patients from any unnecessary exposure to ionizing radiation. Recently there has been a great deal of concern expressed about the toxicity of lead. Human lead toxicity is well documented. In that light, production of environmentally-friendly lead-free radiation shields with less weight ...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none fa background: the angular dependency of response for tld cards may cause deviation  from its true value on the results of environmental dosimetry, since tlds may  be exposed to radiation at different angles of incidence from the surrounding area. objective: a 3d setting of tld cards has been calibrated isotropically in a standard  radiation field to eval...

Background: People are exposed to more radiation than before with the application of radiation technology. Radiation is known to induce damage to cell structure, DNA, chromosomes and nucleus. In this study, we showed that CGJ extract can inhibit radiation-induced chromosomal damage in vivo and NLRP7 inflammasome activation in vitro, suggesting that the compound from CGJ can Be considered as a t...

Background: Hesperidin is a bioflavonoid glycoside mainly found in citrus fruit and has been shown radio-protective potential in various measurement systems. Objective: In this article aims to investigate the radio-protective effect of hesperidin on the liver of Sprague Dawely rats. Material and Methods: In this clinical study, 40 male rats were selected randomly and divided into 8 ...

Background: This study is conducted with the aim of determining the knowledge, attitude and behaviors of the personnel on radiation safety, who are exposed to radiation and working in a university hospital in Istanbul.  Materials and Methods: In this research, which is descriptive, a questionnaire that consists of 20 questions conducted to 101 healthcare personnel who are working with radiation...

alzheimer’s disease, the most common type of dementia and a progressive neurode-generative disease, occurs when the nerve cells in the brain die. although there are medications that can help delay the development of alzheimer’s disease, there is cur-rently no cure for this disease. exposure to ionizing and non-ionizing radiation may cause adverse health effects such as cancer. looking at the ot...

considering that the effective yield of a panel is equal to its total number of hours of solar radiation and temperature, only the effects of temperature and solar radiation intensity at the maximum power point (mpp) are investigated in this article. by collecting temperature data, sun's radiation hours from six synoptic meteorological stations in kermanshah province over the course of an ...

introduction use of hadron therapy as an advanced radiotherapy technique is increasing. in this method, secondary particles are produced through primary beam interactions with the beam-transport system and the patient’s body. in this study, monte carlo simulations were employed to determine the dose of produced secondary particles, particularly neutrons during treatment. materials and methods i...

Estimation of solar radiation is the most important parameter for various solar energy systems. Expensive devices are required to achieve the amount of solar radiation for a special region, therefore different models have been proposed by researchers to estimate the solar radiation that obviate using such devices. Nonlinear nature and excessive dependence on the meteorological parameters of the...
