Background: Ramsar, a northern city in Iran, lies on the coast of the Caspian Sea. This city has areas with some of the highest levels of natural radiation measured to date. The radon concentration in some areas of Ramsar is up to 3700 Bq m–3. On the other hand, due to high level of humidity, damp-proof barriers should be used in construction of new buildings in radon prone areas of this cit...

Background: Inhalation of radon and its short-lived decay products is one of the ‎most significant sources of exposure to natural radiation. Radon is the second cause ‎of lung cancer in the populations. The present study was carried out under the projects of ‎national radon, with the aim of determining the concentration of indoor in the city of Qom ‎located in the central se...

Abstract The current study aims to assess the radon concentration in blood serum of lung cancer patients Babylon governorate and compared measured values healthy people. Radon ( 222 Rn) is one typical alpha-particle emitters. Cancer cases, especially cancer, have been increased a notable way Governorate particularly after gulf wars 1991 2003. So, measuring gas important find out relations betwe...

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To gather data on radon levels and determine correlations among subjects' characteristics, willingness to test for radon, and perceptions of radon as a health risk. DESIGN Descriptive correlational. SETTING Rural DeKalb County in northern Illinois. SAMPLE 473 respondents from a group of 1,620 randomly selected county residences. METHODS Participants were surveyed via ...

Background: While in the open air the amount of radon gas is very small and does not pose a health risk, in confined spaces, radon can accumulate to relatively high levels and become a health hazard. Exposure to high levels of radon has been associated with an increased risk of lung cancer, depending on the time length of exposure. Radon level in dwelling of Shiraz with 1,200,000 popul...

X. Tolsa defined the space of type BMO for a positive Radon measure satisfying some growth condition on R. This space is very suitable for the CalderónZygmund theory with non-doubling measures. Especially, the John-Nirenberg type inequality remains true. In this paper we introduce the localized and weighted version of this inequality and, as an application, we obtain some vector-valued inequali...

Consider a complete hyperbolic surface which can be partitioned into countably many pairs of pants whose boundary components have lengths less than some constant. We show that any infinite ergodic invariant Radon measure for the horocycle flow is either supported on a a single horocycle associated with a cusp, or corresponds canonically to an extremal positive eigenfunction of the Laplace–Beltr...

Background & Aims: Human beings are constantly exposed to different radiations that have always been recognized as a health hazard. Radon -222 and its daughter products are major sources of natural radiations and a significant total inhalation dose is related to them. Hence, the measurement of radon activity in the environment has gained an increasing importance. In this study, with the measure...

Background: A substantial part of the public’s natural radiation dose is due to the inhalation of radon gas. Most of the exposure occurs indoors where the airborne concentration of radon and its decay products is usually higher than outdoors. Materials and Methods: Radon activity concentration has been measured twice in 50 classrooms in 5 levels (10 each) during summer and winter using solid-st...

We study the Gaussian Radon transform in the classical Wiener space of Brownian motion. We determine explicit formulas for transforms of Brownian functionals specified by stochastic integrals. A Fock space decomposition is also established for Gaussian measure conditioned to closed affine subspaces in Hilbert spaces.
