Radiation, Volume 3, Issue 1

We investigated the influence of modifying the voltage of an X-ray tube with a tungsten anode between 30 kV and 225 kV, and therefore its photon energy spectrum (up to 225 keV), on the Total Ionizing Dose deposited in a single-mode, phosphorus-doped...

The space radiation environment outside the protection of the Earth’s magnetosphere is severe and difficult to shield against. The cumulative effective dose to astronauts on a typical Mars mission would likely introduce risk exceeding permissib...

Secondary lymphedema is caused by damage to the lymphatic system, often following an oncological tumor removal intervention, or even by an accident. The diagnosis of lymphedema is not easy, because the disease can also be confused with other clinical...

High-quality academic publication is built on rigorous peer review [...]

The Rothmund–Thomson syndrome (RTS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease associated with poikiloderma, telangiectasias, sun-sensitive rash, hair growth problems, juvenile cataracts and, for a subset of some RTS patients, a high risk of cancer,...

This article highlights advancements in polymeric composite/nanocomposites processes and applications for improved radiation shielding and high-rate attenuation for the spacecraft. Energetic particles, mostly electrons and protons, can annihilate or...
