The present study introduces some data regarding Radiation Doses Due to Natural Radioactivity measured the investigations we have already carried out in Selected Areas in Southern Part of Jordan. The investigated area, which is 270 Km long, includes three governorates in Jordan: Tafila, Ma'an, and Aqaba. These data emphasis on new findings of different radiation dose rates, to mainly identify t...

background: human activities such as mining enhance the radioactivity levels above normal background which can lead to an incremental increase in the radiation risk to the population. materials and methods: 20 tailing enriched soil samples collected around maiganga coal mine, gombe, northeast nigeria were assessed for their 226ra, 232th and 40k contents using hpge gamma-ray detector. results: t...

background: natural radiation is constantly present in the environment and is emitted from a variety of natural and artificial sources. it affects human body and environment. materials and methods: the activity concentrations of 238u, 232th and 40k have been determined by gamma ray spectrometer with an hpge detector in sediments of cauvery river, tamilnadu, india. results: the absorbed dose rat...

Purpose. Study the radiolysis of solid-state metoclopramide hydrochloride at various absorbed doses. Elucidate the structure of the degradation products to gain information on the radiolysis mechanisms. Methods. Solid-state metoclopramide samples were irradiated at several doses with gamma rays and highenergy electrons to evaluate the influence of the dose rate. High-performance liquid chromato...

In this study, a 4D dosimetry concept was developed. This concept included a method for calculation of 3D reference absorbed dose matrices at every control point of the delivery using a clinical treatment planning system (TPS). Further, the gamma evaluation method was extended to incorporate the 4 dimension of the TPS calculated dose distributions. The applications of the 4D dosimetry concept o...

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...

Six national standards for absorbed dose to water in Co gamma radiation at the dose levels used in radiation processing have been compared over the range from 5 to 30 kGy using the alanine dosimeters of the NIST and the NPL as the transfer dosimeters. The standards are in agreement at the level of around 0.5%, which is significantly smaller than the stated standard uncertainties. r 2006 Elsevie...

a reconnaissance study has been made on the distribution of 238u, 232th, 40k, 137cs andgeochemical features in soil and sediment samples at various locations on the coast of bushehr in the persiangulf. in this study a gamma-ray spectrometer based on a high purity germanium detector and a pc basedmca and x-ray fluorescence (xrf) method were used. estimation of the measured radionuclide contentha...

Tritium RBE/Tritiated Water/CFUs/CFUc The acute effects on hematopoietic tissue in mice of a single administration of tritiated water were compared with the effects of exposure to 6OCo gamma radiation. The activity of tritium in the bone marrow was measured directly using a sample oxidizer and the absorbed dose was calculated from the amount of activity of tritium in it. The number of nucleated...

Background: Human activities such as mining enhance the radioactivity levels above normal background which can lead to an incremental increase in the radiation risk to the population. Materials and Methods: 20 tailing enriched soil samples collected around Maiganga coal mine, Gombe, Northeast Nigeria were assessed for their 226Ra, 232Th and 40K contents using HPGe gamma-ray detector. Results: T...
