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...
Vibrational spectroscopic techniques, such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) absorption and Raman spectroscopy (RS), offer unique and detailed biochemical fingerprints by detecting specific molecular vibrations within samples. These techniques pro...
Radiotherapy remains a cornerstone in cancer treatment, leveraging ionizing radiation to eradicate malignant cells. Its efficacy, however, is frequently challenged by the heterogeneous sensitivity of tumors and surrounding tissues to radiation. There...
(1) Background: Water radiolysis leads to the formation of hydronium ions H3O+ in less than 50 fs, resulting in the formation of transient acidic pH spikes in the irradiated water. The purpose of this study is to examine the time evolution of these s...
This work describes the creation and experimental validation of DoseMRT, a new software package, and its associated workflow for dose calculations in synchrotron-generated broad beam and microbeam radiation treatment fields. The DoseMRT software pack...
In arid regions, the tritium concentration in groundwater is typically very low and often falls below the minimum detectable activity (MDA) of the conventional liquid scintillation counter (LSC). Therefore, to measure the tritium activity concentrati...
Accelerated neutron tests on silicon (Si) and silicon carbide (SiC) power MOSFETs at different temperatures and drain bias voltages were performed at the ChipIr facility (Didcot, UK). A super-junction silicon MOSFET and planar SiC MOSFETs with differ...
Space exploration introduces astronauts to challenges, such as space radiation and microgravity. Researchers have investigated vitamin C as a potential radiation mitigator, as well as antioxidants for sustaining astronaut health. Our own studies demo...
(1) Background: Some cancer patients do not experience tumour shrinkage but are still at risk of experiencing unwanted treatment side effects. Radiomics refers to mining biomedical images to quantify textural characterization. When radiomics features...
