Background: Interventional cardiology procedures such as coronary angiography (CA) and percutaneous transluminal coronary angiography (PTCA) has been increased recent years. The purpose of this study was to measurement of effective dose to cardiology staffs who operate near the patient and are exposed to non-uniform radiation field due to patient scattered radiation. Materials and Methods: This...

background: an effective polymer gel dosimeter can be fabricated by varying the composition of its chemical components. materials and methods: the magat gel dosimeter formulations that used different compositions of methacrylic acid (maa) and gelatin were extensively investigated in the present study according to the r2–dose response and r2–dose sensitivity. the irradiation of magat gel was per...

In this paper, we present the first measurements on thermoluminescence from isolated thylakoids to probe the recombination reactions of S 2 (or possibly $3) with Q ~ or QA, after bicarbonate depletion and its readdition. The effects of bicarbonate depletion on the S2Q ~ (or 8 3 0 ~ ) thermoluminescence band was (1) a 6 1 0 ° C shift to a higher temperature; (2) a reduction in its intensity upon...

Milk protein concentrate powder has found a wide application as a food ingredient. We investigated the effects of ionizing ')'-radiation at doses ranging from 2 to 20 kGy on electron spi n resonance and the rmoluminescence intensities in samples of milk protein concentrate powder with varying protein contents (36-73 %wt), containing addltional Fe ++ ions (12-910 ppm) and stored under different ...

A major breakthrough in our understanding of how plants oxidize water to molecular O(2) was the discovery by P. Joliot and co-workers that the O(2) yield per flash, in a series of light flashes, oscillates with a periodicity of 4. This led to the concept by B. Kok and co-workers that these reactions involve accumulation of four positive charges in independent "O(2)-evolving centers," which unde...
