Rat mammary carcinogenesis following neutron- or X-radiation [PDF]
Female 61 to 63 - day - old Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed once to a single dose of either 0.43 - MeV neutrons or 250 - kVX - rays . For neutrons 23 rats were exposed in plastic tubes rotated around and 31 c m from a water-cooled tritium impregnated ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Parasites can alter host traits, thereby reshaping host interactions and modifying density‐ and trait‐mediated effects in trophic cascades. But despite increasing research in parasite ecology, the cascading effects of parasitism from individual hosts to population and ...

Use of apertures in single‐energy pristine Bragg peak FLASH radiotherapy
Abstract Background Proton single‐energy Bragg peak (SEBP) FLASH delivery can achieve dosimetric distributions equivalent to conventional intensity‐modulated proton therapy (IMPT). However, range‐pulling and field compensator devices enlarge the proton pencil beam spot size, increasing lateral penumbra and compromising dose conformality and high‐dose ...
