Beginning in the 1960s, satellite instruments have measured Earth's reflected broadband shortwave radiation and emitted ...

The radiation-induced attenuations observed in optical fibers can be understood in terms of charge transfer and trapping rates using simple zero-field kinetic models. Herein, we analytically evaluate ...

The universe is decaying much faster than thought. This is shown by calculations of three Dutch scientists on the so-called Hawking radiation. They calculate that the last stellar remnants take ...

Proper selection and utilization of survey instruments are important to fulfilling radiation survey needs. Ion chambers are typically used to survey β and γ-ray radiation, whereas REM balls containing ...

Under gamma irradiation, the output power of the fiber laser gradually decreases due to the rise of radiation-induced attenuation (RIA) also known as the radiation-induced darkening effect. This ...

The state-owned China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) said in a statement on its official WeChat channel that the self-developed chip can measure dose rates of X- and gamma-ray radiation ...

The complication rate was similar to what was reported in a 2013 survey of medical and surgical residents. “Notably, this study reported an incidence of miscarriage (11.8%) and low birth weight (9.2%) ...

The estimated association of radiation dose with solid cancer was smaller, larger, and similar in magnitude, with five-, 15, and 20-year lags, respectively, relative to the 10-year lag assumption.

Radiation treatments only take about 15 minutes. Some types of radiation are given 5 days a week for several weeks, while other forms and doses of radiation can be completed in 5–10 sessions.

Background: Accurate prediction of future glomerular function rate (fGFR) following nephrectomy in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients is of interest. A postoperative estimated glomerular filtration ...

Overall, those who received the radiation had a 0.9% risk of local recurrence, while those who didn’t get irradiated had a 9.5% risk of the cancer returning in the same breast.
