Recent advances in radiotherapy have enabled the use of different types of particles, such
as protons and heavy ions, as well as refinements to the treatment of tumours with standard …

Time related factors in exposure/response relationships in chronic disease epidemiology
were discussed. Reasons for examining temporal factors in studies chronic disease were …

Radiation damage can be a problem when utilizing ionizing X-radiation in macromolecular
crystallography. The dose dependence of radiation damage to eight lysozyme crystals at …

Depleted uranium (DU) is a dense heavy metal used primarily in military applications.
Although the health effects of occupational uranium exposure are well known, limited data …

With confluent cultures of the C3H10T1/2 mammalian cell line, we have investigated the
effects of heavy-ion radiation on neoplastic cell transformation. Our quantitative data …

Heavy metal–tungsten alloys (HMTAs) are dense heavy metal composite materials used
primarily in military applications. HMTAs are composed of a mixture of tungsten (91–93%) …

Three dualities underscore the role of repair in radiobiology: the discrete and random nature
of energy deposition; the coupled processes of damage and repair; and the harmful and …

Murine experiments were conducted at the JANUS reactor in Argonne National Laboratory
from 1970 to 1992 to study the effect of acute and protracted radiation dose from gamma …

Radon exposure has been linked to lung carcinogenesis in both human and animal studies.
Studies of smoking and nonsmoking uranium miners indicate that radon alone is a risk factor …

The lack of information on how biological systems respond to low-dose and low dose-rate
exposures makes it difficult to accurately assess the carcinogenic risks. This is of critical …
