The role of Ag2O incorporation in nuclear radiation shielding behaviors of the Li2O–Pb3O4–SiO2 glass system: A multi-step characterization study

open access: yesOpen Chemistry, 2023
We report the gamma-ray shielding properties of five different lithium silicate glasses based on the (40 − x) Li2O–10Pb3O4–50SiO2 nominal composition. Transmission factor values and some basic shielding parameters such as linear (µ) and mass attenuation ...

Microdosimetry calculations in situ for clinically relevant photon sources and their correlation with the early DNA damage response

open access: yesMedical Physics, Volume 52, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Background Radiobiological data suggests variations in relative biological effectiveness (RBE) between clinically used photon‐based sources. A microdosimetric formalism using Monte Carlo (MC) methods can mechanistically describe the photon RBE.

Plant acclimation to ionising radiation requires activation of a detoxification pathway against carbonyl‐containing lipid oxidation products

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 47, Issue 10, Page 3882-3898, October 2024.
Abstract Ionising γ radiation produces reactive oxygen species by water radiolysis, providing an interesting model approach for studying oxidative stress in plants. Three‐week old plants of Arabidopsis thaliana were exposed to a low dose rate (25 mGy h−1) of γ radiation for up to 21 days. This treatment had no effect on plant growth and morphology, but

Linear Boltzmann equation solver for voxel‐level dosimetry in radiopharmaceutical therapy: Comparison with Monte Carlo and kernel convolution

open access: yesMedical Physics, Volume 51, Issue 8, Page 5604-5617, August 2024.
Abstract Background With recent interest in patient‐specific dosimetry for radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) and selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT), an increasing number of voxel‐based algorithms are being evaluated. Monte Carlo (MC) radiation transport, generally considered to be the most accurate among different methods for voxel‐level ...
