A Measurement of the Cosmic Optical Background and Diffuse Galactic Light Scaling from the R < 50 au New Horizons-LORRI Data

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Direct photometric measurements of the cosmic optical background (COB) provide an important point of comparison to both other measurement methodologies and models of cosmic structure formation, and permit a cosmic consistency test with the potential to ...

Intergalactic UV background radiation field [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astrophysics and Astronomy, 1997
We have performed proximity effect analysis of low and high resolution data, considering detailed frequency and redshift dependence of the AGN spectra processed through galactic and intergalactic material. We show that such a background flux, calculated using the observed distribution of AGNs, falls short of the value required by the proximity effect ...

OUTDOOR GAMMA RADIATION MEASURMENT IN ORDER TO ESTIMATE THE ANNUAL EFFECTIVE DOSE AND EXCESS LIFETIME CANCER RISK FOR RESIDENTS OF TEHRAN, IRAN

open access: yesJournal of Air Pollution and Health, 2017
Introduction: Gamma ray radiation can cause ionization and harmful effects on human health due to its high levels of energy. However, contrary to popular belief, natural sources of gamma radiation are far greater in number than artificial sources.

Quantum limitations of distant radiating objects detection

open access: yesФизика волновых процессов и радиотехнические системы, 2014
Weak electromagnetic signals from sufficiently distant sources reveal quantum properties. The latter ones result that detection of the sources becomes probabilistic.

RADIATION SAFETY OF BULGARIA IN THE CONTEMPORARY INTERNATIONAL SITUATION

open access: yesSecurity and Defence Quarterly, 2016
It is known that everything on our planet is subjected to constant exposure from the natural and anthropogenic, earth and space SIR, and is situated in conditions created by natural and technical radioactive Backlight.

Entropy-Based Characterization of Internet Background Radiation

open access: yesEntropy, 2014
Network security requires real-time monitoring of network traffic in order to detect new and unexpected attacks. Attack detection methods based on deep packet inspection are time consuming and costly, due to their high computational demands.

Below-Background Ionizing Radiation as an Environmental Cue for Bacteria

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
All organisms on earth grow under the influence of a natural and relatively constant dose of ionizing radiation referred to as background radiation, and so cells have different mechanisms to prevent the accumulation of damage caused by its different ...

Verification of the Effectiveness of Risk Communication Materials Using Natural Radiation Levels as a Reference Standard: Results from a Survey of First-Year Health Department Students

open access: yesSafety
Even before the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, people were continuously exposed to various naturally occurring radioactive materials, including radon. However, public awareness and understanding of this exposure remain limited.
