A neutron irradiation cavity for in vivo activation analysis has been characterized to estimate
its dosimetric specifications. The cavity is defined to confine irradiation to the hand and …

The harmful biological effect of excessive aluminum (Al) load in humans has been well
documented in the literature. Al stored in bone, for instance due to dialysis treatment or …

Manganese is both an essential element to human health and also toxic when humans are
exposed to excessive levels, particularly by means of inhalation. Biological monitoring of …

Due to the extensive applications of microdosimeters, the purpose of this paper is a
feasibility study of a new design as a neutron microdosimeter. A cylindrical microdosimeter …

Microdosimetry studies are a description to better understand the mechanisms of biological
effects of ionizing radiation to improve cancer and minimize environmental and occupational …

The relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of neutrons varies from unity to greater than ten
depending upon neutron energy and the biological endpoint measured. In our study, we …

In this study we investigate the dependence of the sensitivity of a TEPC upon its surface
area and demonstrate that a compact multi-element tissue equivalent proportional counter …

Magnesium is an element essential for many enzymatic reactions in the human body.
Various human and animal studies suggest that changes in status are linked to diseases …

The toxic effects of aluminum are cumulative and result in painful forms of renal
osteodystrophy, most notably adynamic bone disease and osteomalacia, but also other …

Manganese (Mn) is an element which is both essential for regulating neurological and
skeletal functions in the human body and also toxic when humans are exposed to excessive …
