Dose-response relationships for aquatic organisms have been developed for numerous contaminants using external media exposures (water and sediment). Dose-response relationships based on internal concentrations (tissue residues) are limited. The present study reports Hg dose-response curves for early life stage and juvenile or adult fish based on published tissue-residue toxicity studies. These ...

introduction: active personal dosimeters (apds) are well accepted as useful and reliable instruments for individual dosimetry measurements. apds have many advantages compared with passive dosimeters for individual external radiation dose assessments. in routine monitoring, occupational exposure is carried out for verification and demonstration of compliance with the regulatory dose limits. so, ...

optically stimulated luminescence (osl) is currently one of the most important dating methods. it dates the last exposure to sunlight. natural hazard evidences such as colluvial wedges, alluvial and fluvial sediments can be dated by osl. therefore, osl plays an important role in studies related to paleoseismology and tectonic activity, particularly in arid and semi- arid regions. the altai moun...

SIRADs (self-indicating instant radiation alert dosimeters) are designed to measure accident radiation doses. As the energy of radiation is usually unknown in such situations, a detector with a weak energy dependence of its response to dose would be ideal. We have studied the energy dependence of the dose response of SIRADs in the range from 50kVp to 10MV, which corresponds to photon equivalent...

indoor radon concentrations, the annual effective dose rate and the annual equivalent dose rate to the lung and to the public were measured in the dwellings of 10 neighborhoods located on the west side of the river tigris (al-karkh) in baghdad city using passive dosimeters. cr-39 solid state nuclear track detector (ssntd) technique was used for radon measurements. ninety-one dosimeters were dis...

background: to determine which radiotherapy parameters are associated with the tumor response of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (nsclc) patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy. materials and methods: thirty one patients with iiia/iiib nsclc underwent chemoradiotherapy with a median dose of 63 gy. on our actual treatments, we made radiotherapy planning to cover the planning...
