A review on natural background radiation [PDF]
Advanced Biomedical Research, 2013 The world is naturally radioactive and approximately 82% of human-absorbed radiation doses, which are out of control, arise from natural sources such as cosmic, terrestrial, and exposure from inhalation or intake radiation sources.

Deinococcus radiodurans UWO298 Dependence on Background Radiation for Optimal Growth [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Ionizing radiation is a major environmental variable for cells on Earth, and so organisms have adapted to either prevent or to repair damages caused by it, primarily from the appearance and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, we

Cosmic Background Radiation [PDF]
International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2015 It is shown that a collection of photons with nearly the same frequency exhibits a “condensation” type of phenomenon corresponding to a peak intensity. The observed cosmic background radiation can be explained from this standpoint. We have obtained analogous results by extremization of the occupation number for photons with the use of the Lambert W ...

Spatial-temporal modeling of background radiation using mobile sensor networks. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2018 Modeling of background radiation for the urban environment plays an important role in homeland security. However, background radiation is difficult to assess due to its spatial-temporal fluctuations caused by the variation in soil composition, building ...
