Determination of radon levels in dwellings and social objects and evaluation annual effective dose from inhalation of radon in Stepnogorsk area Northern Kazakhstan

Eurasian Journal of Physics and Functional Materials, 2021
Radon is a noble gas that is one of the natural radioactive decay products of radium resulting from the disintegration of uranium. Humans are exposed to sources of natural radiation activity, being radon and its progeny breathing air responsible for more

Lung Cancer Screening with Low-Dose CT: Radiation Risk and Benefit–Risk Assessment for Different Screening Scenarios

Diagnostics, 2022
Lung cancer is a severe disease that affects predominantly smokers and represents a leading cause of cancer death in Europe. Recent meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have yielded that low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening can ...

Response of Photon Dosimeters and Survey Instruments to New Operational Quantities Proposed by ICRU RC26 [PDF]

Journal of Instrumentation, Volume 14, January 2019, 2018
Operational quantities in radiation protection are defined as conservative estimates of the protection quantities, which are generally not accessible to measurement. Radiation protection dosimeters and monitors are calibrated in the operational quantities.

Toxic effects of combined exposure of tritiated water and genistein on the growth and development of zebrafish and its mechanism

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Water pollution and control are important issues of our lasting concern. Environmental media often contains a variety of compounds. Tritium is widely present in nature due to human activities. As an endocrine disruptor, genistein is widely found in water

Watermarking for Neural Radiation Fields by Invertible Neural Network [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
To protect the copyright of the 3D scene represented by the neural radiation field, the embedding and extraction of the neural radiation field watermark are considered as a pair of inverse problems of image transformations. A scheme for protecting the copyright of the neural radiation field is proposed using invertible neural network watermarking ...

Radiation Risks and Mitigation in Electronic Systems [PDF]

CERN Yellow Report CERN-2015-003, pp.245-263, 2016
Electrical and electronic systems can be disturbed by radiation-induced effects. In some cases, radiation-induced effects are of a low probability and can be ignored; however, radiation effects must be considered when designing systems that have a high mean time to failure requirement, an impact on protection, and/or higher exposure to radiation.
