Nuclear Tests
This volume focuses on the human exposures and medical effects studies in the SemipaiatinskJ Altai region of Siberia that were a consequence of the radioactive fallout from nuclear test explosions that took place at the Semipalatinsk Test Site of the former Soviet Union. It contains a detailed account of a NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) devoted to the subject, and a selection of the papers presented. The title of the ARW was "Long-term Consequences of Nuclear Tests for the Environment and Population Health (SemipaiatinskJAltai Case Studies)". The estimated exposures to large numbers of people in the Altai lie in an important dose rate and dose domain. Hence the research reported herei...
Reliability of Radioactive Transfer Models
Assessment of the radiological impact of planned or existing practices involving the (actual or potential) release of radionuclides to the environment are largely based on the use of modelling techniques which allow prediction of the relationship between environmental levels and releases and the associated radiation dose to man. Models are imperfect means of representing environmental transfer processes, and it is essential to know the reliability which can be associated with the predictions of these models for each and every assessment situation. Such information is necessary in order to establish confidence in model predictions and, in particular, to allow adequate safety margins to be set...
Atmospheric Nuclear Tests
Radionuclides produced by past nuclear weapon test explosions comprise the largest source of anthropogenic radioactivity released into the earth's atmosphere to date. This volume presents data and models about the fate of the released radionuclides and their possible effects on human health. It is divided into the following three parts: - Source Term Studies; - Dose Reconstruction; - Ecological and Health Effects, and comprises both Western and formerly secret Soviet research studies, illuminates past and current research.
Current Trends in Global Environment
"The present book Current Trends in Global Environment deals with each and every important and recent issue of environment with clear-cut facts in a lucid manner of presentation, which are likely to be come across by its readers, irrespective of their discipline. An attempt has been made to present the matter in a perceptible and comprehensible manner which would be equally important to a beginner and specialist. Worthy for a reference for its up-to-date content that satisfy its user in a minimum of time. By far majority of books are from the mainstream with heavy a textual load. It has chapters on present day burning topics like The Greenhouse Effect, Natural Disasters i.e., Tsunami, Earthq...
Biology of Acetabularia
Biology of Acetabularia covers the proceedings of the First International Symposium on Acetabularia, held in Rhode-Saint-Genese and Mol, Belgium on June 18-20, 1969. The three-day symposium is organized to exchange ideas and information between various laboratories, which are engaged in research on Acetabularia. Comprised of 16 chapters, this book discusses the biological and biochemical aspects of Acetabularia, including DNA and RNA syntheses, regulation of RNA production and enzyme activity, ultrastructure, and photosynthesis. It also examines the effects of physical factors, such as light and gamma-radiations and circadian rhythms, on morphogenesis and metabolism of Acetabularia. Each chapter contains technical problems and conclusions relevant to other researches. The book will be useful for those who work or intend to work on Acetabularia, including biologists, biochemists, molecular biologists, and researchers.
Biology And Radiobiology Of Anucleate Systems
Biology and Radiobiology of Anucleate Systems: II. Plant Cells encompasses the proceedings of International Symposium held in Mol, June 21-23, 1971. The symposium is organized by the Department of Radiobiology, Centre d'Etude de I'Energie Nucleaire (C.E.N./S.C.K.), Mol (Belgium) under the auspices of the Commission of the European Communities (EURATOM) and of the ""Relations Culturelles Internationales"" (Brussels). The aim of the three-day symposium is to bring together, for the first time, scientists working on anucleate systems obtained from bacteria and animal or plant cells. This volume is composed of 16 papers relating specifically to plant cells. Each paper is organized according to the date and session when they have been presented. This book will provide invaluable data for comparing the properties of anucleate Acetabularia with those of other anucleate cells, which would be very useful for better understanding of many problems concerning the nucleocytoplasmic relationships and cellular differentiation in normal and irradiated cells.
