Data-driven evaluation of background radiation safety using machine learning and statistical analysis [PDF]
Big Data and Computing VisionsThe entire globe is radioactive naturally, and humans are constantly exposed to background radiation from cosmic rays and the radioactive materials in their environment. The concentration and effects of background radiation can vary based on geographical

Ultraviolet Background Radiation
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 1973 The results are reported of observations in narrow bands centered on 1115, 1425, and 1446 A of the flux from an empty high-galactic-latitude region and from several stars. The observations had been obtained with the aid of three ultraviolet-sensitive Geiger counters which were carried on an Aerobee-150 rocket launched from the White Sands missile ...

, 1993 We present a short overview on the extragalactic background radiation from radio to X-rays, with an eye to the relation to galaxy formation and emphasizing on astrophysical backgrounds (as opposed to cosmological). As the radio background, the wealth of data on source counts make possible reliable estimations of the contribution from extragalactic ...

Spectrum of the microwave background radiation [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1982 Abstract A review is given of the present status of measurements of the spectrum of the microwave background. Factors that limit experimental accuracy are discussed with particular reference to high-frequency measurements. A selection of the available measurements yields a data set that is reasonably consistent with the black-body ...

South African Journal of Radiology, 2010 The subject of radiation exposure for diagnostic purposes is currently a ‘hot’ topic, and it is appropriate that the debate around this issue is given exposure in the pages of the SAJR.

Design and Analysis of a Moon-Based Earth-Radiation Measurement System
Remote SensingThis research project envisions using a lunar observation platform to measure the full-wave (0.2~100 μm) and shortwave (0.2~4.3 μm) radiation of the Earth, achieving an accurate estimation of the overall radiation budget of the Earth.

Assessment of gross Alpha and beta radioactivity in surface water from Rampal Upazila, Bangladesh: A baseline study [PDF]
Kragujevac Journal of ScienceThis study presents the first radiological survey of surface water in Rampal Upazila, located in Bangladesh's Bagerhat District, where no prior radiation monitoring data have been reported. Water samples were collected from 10 administrative unions, each

COSMIC TACHYON BACKGROUND RADIATION [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics A, 1999 The equilibrium statistical mechanics of a background radiation of superluminal particles is investigated, based on a vectorial wave equation for tachyons of the Proca type. The partition function, the spectral energy density, and the various thermodynamic variables of an ideal Bose gas of tachyons in an open Robertson–Walker cosmology are derived ...

The Extragalactic Background Radiation —1989 [PDF]
Symposium - 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).
