NAIRAS Version 3 Atmospheric Ionizing Radiation Validation: Comparisons to RaD‐X Measurements
Abstract The Nowcast of Aerospace Ionizing RAdiation System (NAIRAS) model predicts dosimetric and radiative flux quantities for assessing human radiation exposure levels and radiation effects on flight electronic systems from the surface of the Earth to deep space. NAIRAS version 3 includes many updates and improvements to the model.

Abstract Background Clinical carbon ion beams offer the potential to overcome hypoxia‐induced radioresistance in pancreatic tumors, due to their high dose‐averaged Linear Energy Transfer (LETd), as previous studies have linked a minimum LETd within the tumor to improved local control.

‘Dirty dose’‐based proton variable RBE models ‐ performance assessment on in vitro data
Abstract Background In clinical proton radiotherapy, a constant relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of 1.1 is typically applied. Due to abundant evidence of variable RBE effects from in vitro data, multiple variable RBE models have been suggested, typically by describing the α$\alpha$ and β$\beta$ parameters in the linear quadratic (LQ) model as a ...

Mini-TEPC Microdosimetric Study of Carbon Ion Therapeutic Beams at CNAO
Mono-energetic carbon ion scanning beams of 195.2 MeV/u at the Italian National Centre for Oncological Hadrontherapy (CNAO) have been used to study the microdosimetric features of an “active” carbon ion beam used in hadrontherapy.

We found that within a small area of a modern floodplain there are distinct variations in bleaching characteristics across different depositional environments. Our results contribute to the growing body of work linking luminescence signals with geomorphic processes and sediment transport.

Modeling of xenobiotic transport and metabolism in virtual hepatic lobule models.
Computational models of normal liver function and xenobiotic induced liver damage are increasingly being used to interpret in vitro and in vivo data and as an approach to the de novo prediction of the liver's response to xenobiotics.

Moving from organ dose to microdosimetry: contribution of the Monte Carlo simulations
When living cells are irradiated by charged particles, a wide variety of interactions occurs that leads to a deep modification of the biological material.

A novel avalanche-confinement TEPC for microdosimetry at nanometric level
The tissue equivalent proportional counter (TEPC) is the most accurate device for measuring the microdosimetric properties of a particle beam, showing to properly assess the relative biological effectiveness by linking the physical parameters of the ...
