There is a paucity of large animal models to study both the extent and the health risk of ionizing radiation exposure in humans. One promising candidate for such a model is the minipig. Here, we evaluate the minipig for its potential in γ-H2AX-based biodosimetry after exposure to ionizing radiation using both Cs137 and Co60 sources. γ-H2AX foci were enumerated in blood lymphocytes and normal fi...

The present study portrays the development of lightweight epoxy laminates filled with boron carbide (B4C) and lead (Pb) particles through a novel layered molding curing route. Six different single tri-layers were prepared varying compositions subjected to thermal, radiation shielding, dielectric studies. Radiation shielding test done using narrow beam setup six sources such as Cobalt-57 (Co57-1...

The present study investigated the effect of targeted mutations in the DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit and phosphorylation domains on the survival of cells in response to different qualities of ionizing radiation. Mutated Chinese hamster ovary V3 cells were exposed to 500 MeV/nucleon initial energy and 200 keV/μm monoenergetic Fe ions; 290 MeV/nucleon initial energy and average 5...

The time resolution (TR) is one of the most important characteristic a detector. particular case scintillator, collection light also important, it depends sensitive area photo-sensor (Scorer). Normally, Scorer Photomultipliers Tubes (PMTs) greater than Silicon (SiPMs). Other differences are voltage operation, their size and cost, in some cases, large PMTs can be difficult to place, if small spa...

The aim of the present study was to effects gamma radiation (Cs137) on local variety maize (Zea mays L.) usually cultivated at KENGE for possible track its improvement. approach consisted irradiating corn seeds doses ranging from 0 300 Gy intervals 100 each using CONSERVATOME LISA I irradiator. irradiated were sown a plot 176.40 m2 surface area according device in completely random blocks. In f...
