AFRRI's Gamma-ray, X-ray, and Fission-neutron Calibration Curves for the Lymphocyte Dicentric Assay
Facilities are established at the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI) to perform radiation-induced chromosome aberration analysis for biological dosimetry. Whole blood from healthy human volunteers was used after obtaining informed consent. Peripheral blood lymphocytes were exposed in vitro to different types of radiation; sup 60 Co gamma rays (E(gamma) = 1.25 MeV, mean of the absorbed dose distribution of the lineal energy, y(sub D) = 1.9 keV/micrometers, 1 Gy/min); x rays (250 kV(sub p), E = 83 keV, y(sub D) = 4 keV/micrometers, 1 Gy/min); or a fission-spectrum neutron source (E = 0.71 MeV, y(sub D) = 65 keV/micrometers, 0.25 Gy/min). Distribution of radiation-induced dice...
Integrative Dermatology
This title combines conventional treatment options with time tested alternative treatment options for skin disorders. By integrating the best of Western and Eastern medicine, it aims to broaden the armamentarium of clinicians treating skin diseases.
Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths
This volume of the Handbook illustrates the rich variety of topics covered by rare earth science. Three chapters are devoted to the description of solid state compounds: skutterudites (Chapter 211), rare earth -antimony systems (Chapter 212), and rare earth-manganese perovskites (Chapter 214). Two other reviews deal with solid state properties: one contribution includes information on existing thermodynamic data of lanthanide trihalides (Chapter 213) while the other one describes optical properties of rare earth compounds under pressure (Chapter 217). Finally, two chapters focus on solution chemistry. The state of the art in unraveling solution structure of lanthanide-containing coordination compounds by paramagnetic nuclear magnetic resonance is outlined in Chapter 215. The potential of time-resolved, laser-induced emission spectroscopy for the analysis of lanthanide and actinide solutions is presented and critically discussed in Chapter 216.
The Role of Environmental Tobacco Smoke in Asthma Induction and Exacerbation in Children and Adults
This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of epidemiological and experimental (chamber) studies relating tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure to the induction and exacerbation of asthma in children and adults. Particular attention is given to separating out the roles of maternal smoking in pregnancy and post-natal ETS exposure on the induction of asthma. It is at a level equivalent to that in peer-reviewed academic publications. Previous reviews by the California EPA and by Strachan and Cook reach different views as to whether ETS exposure induces asthma or not. The book is aimed at clarifying the situation by more detailed and more up-to-date investigations.
Developments in Ground Control in Mining 1981-2020
The best of ground control technology, 40 years in the making. Developments in Ground Control summarizes the objectives, methodology used, and major conclusions reached from papers presented and published in the International Conference on Ground Control in Mining (ICGCM) proceedings from 1981 to 2020. Because the subject areas of the papers published in the proceedings are so broad, ranging from accident training and coal/rock bursts to geology, pillar, multiseam mining, in situ stresses, roof falls, and roof supports to surface subsidence, the papers were grouped into 13 aggregate topics and addressed separately in 13 book chapters by 13 authors from 4 countries. These book chapters are a ...
Selected Values of the Crystallographic Properties of Elements
This reference book presents a unique and comprehensive review of the crystallographic properties of all the elements and will be a valuable resource for metallurgists and crystallographers. The crystallographic properties of the elements are evaluated at ambient pressure in order to provide a base line for high pressure studies. Lattice parameters of the elements are presented as a function of temperature and related properties such as thermal expansion coefficients, molar volumes, and densities are provided. Special attention is given to ensure that the selected values correspond to the latest values of atomic weights and the fundamental constants. The author, John Arblaster spent his care...
Engineered Cell Manipulation for Biomedical Application
This book is the first to summarize new technologies for engineered cell manipulation. The contents focus on control of cellular functions by nanomaterials and control of three-dimensional cell–cell interactions. Control of cellular functions is important for cell differentiation, maturation, and activation, which generally are controlled by the addition of soluble cytokines or growth factors into cell culture dishes. Target antigen molecules can be efficiently delivered to the cytosol of the dendritic cells using the nanoparticle technique described here, and cellular functions such as dendritic cell maturation can be controlled easily and with precision. This book describes basic prepara...
