Ionising Radiation and Mankind
This book provides a comprehensive account of the developments and current status in several fields of the application of radioactivity and ionising radiation. It covers such topics as radiation-based techniques, radiation’s applications in medicine, food and agriculture, its impact on industry, and its associated materials. The book will be of interest to a wide variety of readers including professionals in radiation medicine, industrial processes, food preservation, and agriculture.
Ionizing and Non-ionizing Radiation
This book provides readers with comprehensive details on the management and measures to protect health against risks to people and environments generated by the use of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. This book is divided into three sections, namely, Radiation Protection and Measurement; Radiation Therapy; and Radioactivity. The first section covers ionizing radiation protection; population exposure to non-ionizing density; and the system of dosimetry quantities for use in emergency preparedness and response to nuclear or radiological accidents. The second section covers various planning techniques for spinal stereotactic body radiotherapy and the application of radiation technology in the development of a malaria vaccine. The third section discusses environmental radioactivity monitoring using efficient measurements and the assessment of radiation exposure to humans. Also in this section is the evaluation of the effects of chronic radiation exposure on the testes of mice after a nuclear power plant accident.
Medical Effects of Ionizing Radiation
"The new edition of this monograph features renowned experts who offer the most current information and reliable guidance on all aspects of the effects of radiation exposure on humans. They provide the answers you need to effectively treat your patients who have been exposed to accidental, occupational, or medical radiation."--BOOK JACKET.
Medical Response to Effects of Ionizing Radiation
Proceedings of a Conference on Medical Response to Effects of Ionizing Radiation held at Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, London, UK, 28-30 June 1989.
Radiation Biophysics (ionizing Radiations)
The book is concerned with features analysis of radiation damage to living matter at different levels of its organisation, beginning from the molecular level. The general theory of the mechanisms of biological action of radiation based on four logically connected principles of radiation biology is presented for the first time. The book contains abundant material on primary and secondary processes of the response of living systems to radiation, the mechanisms of direct and indirect action of radiation through radiolysis of water and lipids; a detailed consideration of the theory of targets (DNA and biological membranes) and the problems of high- and low-dose irradiation in the context of present-day. The systemic response of the cell to irradiation (oxidative stress, endogenous background radioresistance, damage and repair of biological membranes and DNA, systemic protection against radiation) is approximated. Presentation of these important problems is preceded by an up-to-date evaluation of some aspects regarding dosimetry of ionising radiation.
Ionizing Radiation and Life
For graduate and undergraduate biology students.
Environmental Applications of Ionizing Radiation
In der Polymer- und Lebensmittelverarbeitung wird Strahlung zwar schon seit Jahren eingesetzt, im Umweltbereich aber wird gerade damit begonnen. Definiert werden die aktuellen Anwendungsmoglichkeiten ionisierender Strahlung zur Losung von Umweltproblemen. Verfa?t wurde dieser Band von uber 100 fuhrenden Wissenschaftlern aus aller Welt, die sich mit Entwicklung und Anwendung von ionisierender Strahlungstechnik im Zusammenhang mit Umweltproblemen beschaftigen. Das einzige Buch, das sich mit der Anwendung ionisierender Strahlung im Umweltbereich beschaftigt. (09/98)
