Radiative transfer in ultra-relativistic outflows
Analytical and numerical solutions are obtained for the equation of radiative transfer in ultra-relativistic opaque jets. The solution describes the initial trapping of radiation, its adiabatic cooling, and the transition to transparency.

Molecular Mechanisms of Radiation-Induced Cancer Cell Death: A Primer
Radiation therapy (RT) is responsible for at least 40% of cancer cures, however treatment resistance remains a clinical problem. There have been recent advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms of radiation-induced cell death.

Multiplate focusing collimator [PDF]
An appartus is described for scanning relatively small near sources of penetrating radiation to obtain the energy distribution thereof, wherein a collimator assembly is interposed between a radiation source and a radiation detector.

Low Dose Computed Tomography in Diagnosis of Ureteric Calculus in Obese Patients
Background: Standard dose computed tomography is standard imaging modality in diagnosis of urolithiasis. The introduction of low dose techniques results in decrease radiation dose without significant change in image quality. However, the image quality of

Exotic radiation from a photonic crystal excited by an ultra-relativistic electron beam [PDF]
We report the observation of an exotic radiation (unconventional Smith-Purcell radiation) from a one-dimensional photonic crystal. The physical origin of the exotic radiation is direct excitation of the photonic bands by an ultra-relativistic electron ...
