Review on studies in natural background radiation

open access: yesRadiation Protection and Environment, 2018
The environment around us is radioactive due to background radiation emitted from the sky, earth's crust, food, water, and building materials. The human body gets exposed to radiation doses of about 82%, which are out of control; they arise from ...

Blackbody radiation drag on a relativistically moving mirror [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2009
We compute the drag force on a mirror moving at relativistic velocity relative to blackbody radiation background.

Improving organ dose sparing in left‐sided breast cancer with yaw‐limited volumetric modulated arc therapy: A dosimetric comparison to conventional and intensity modulated radiation therapy approaches

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background To assess the dose‐sparing capabilities of a yaw‐limited volumetric modulated arc therapy (YL_VMAT) beam setup for adjacent organs at risk (OAR) in comparison with 3D‐conventional radiation therapy (3D‐CRT), intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and conventional VMAT for radiation therapy in left‐sided breast cancer patients.

Alternative application for the radiation background in the development of the atlas database of atmospheric radiation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
Nowadays radiation is one of the variables to be considered in the environmental forecasting and it is meaningful in the increase of global warming, together greenhouse effect. The radiation considered by the meteorological organizations depends on the World Radiometric Reference (WRR), the World Standard Group (WSG), addressed by the World ...

Commissioning evaluation of a deviceless 4DCT scanner

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The utilization of four‐dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) for radiation therapy has not seen major advances to the method of data binning since shortly after inception. Recently there is increased interest in the utilization of an alternative binning method rather than more established techniques.

Unitary black hole radiation: Schwarzschild-global monopole background

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2019
Black hole radiation from an infinitesimally thin massive collapsing shell, possessing a global monopole charge, which in turn leads to a Schwarzschild black hole with a global monopole charge has been shown to be processed by a unitary evolution.

The Extragalactic Background Radiation —1989 [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1990
This symposium has brought back many happy memories of the time 20 years ago when Rashid Sunyaev and I surveyed what was known about the extragalactic background radiation at that time. In one of our papers of 1969, we published a simple representation of the extragalactic background radiation spectrum, as it was known then (Figure 1).

Impact of acceleration treatment on treatment plan and delivery qualities in tomotherapy for lung cancer

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Acceleration treatment (AT) is a novel treatment planning parameter introduced in the tomotherapy‐dedicated treatment planning system, Precision. This study explores the effects of AT on tomotherapy plans using helical (TomoHelical) and direct (TomoDirect) irradiation techniques.

Comparative study between radiation exposure in common urological procedures

open access: yesBeni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences
Background Fluoroscopy has become essential to urological surgery since advancement of endourology. Fluoroscopy use has increased, placing urologists as well as staff members at risk for occupational radiation exposure and related dangers.

Spectrum of Galactic Background Radiation [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1974
New measurements of the galactic background radiation between 151 and 1407 MHz have been made by Sironi and by Webster. The radio spectrum shows a bend at ~ 315 MHz in Bridle's Region I and ~ 100 MHz in Region II, implying magnetic fields of 7.6 µG and 2.4 µG, respectively.
