Economic impact and effectiveness of radiation protection measures in aviation during a ground level enhancement

open access: yesJournal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2015
In addition to the omnipresent irradiation from galactic cosmic rays (GCR) and their secondary products, passengers and aircraft crew may be exposed to radiation from solar cosmic rays during ground level enhancements (GLE).

Small but mighty: Impact hazards from iron Near‐Earth Objects

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Small asteroids can impact Earth unexpectedly, as demonstrated by the Chelyabinsk event in 2013. The warning times are likely to be short, and the first tools for fast hazard predictions have been developed in the last years for encounters with rocky or cometary objects, which quickly fragment in the atmosphere and cause airbursts. However, in

European annual cosmic-ray dose: estimation of population exposure

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2017
The earth is continually bombarded by high-energy cosmic ray particles, and the worldwide average exposure to cosmic rays represents about 13% of the total annual effective dose received by the population.

Cosmic dust or other similar outer-space particles location detector [PDF]

open access: yes, 1973
Cosmic dust may be serious radiation hazard to man and electronic equipment caught in its path. Dust detector uses two operational amplifiers and offers narrower areas for collection of cosmic dust.

Sampling the volcanic plumes at Io: Impact speeds and shock conditions

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The desire to sample material from the interior of Io, by flying through its volcanic plumes, requires consideration of the flyby speed and the types of sample collection techniques that can be utilized. Low speed collection (1–2.5 km s−1) would require an orbit around Io itself, which is unlikely due to the accumulated radiation dose that ...

Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation Anisotropy Induced by Cosmic Strings

open access: yes, 1994
We report on a current investigation of the anisotropy pattern induced by cosmic strings on the cosmic microwave background radiation (MBR). We have numerically evolved a network of cosmic strings from a redshift of $Z = 100$ to the present and ...

Becoming Dostoevsky (how Rowan Williams opens up Bakhtin)

open access: yesModern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract With the end of Communism in Russia, non‐materialist contexts were enthusiastically restored to Mikhail Bakhtin's globally famous ideas of carnival, dialogism, and polyphony. This essay surveys Rowan Williams's 2008 study Dostoevsky: Language, Faith + Fiction as a major contribution to this effort, concentrating on those general philosophical ...
