Investigating the Effects of Particle Radiation Exposure on Lung Carcinogenesis
… both men and women. The overall increase in radiation risk for human cancer types has been substantiated by the epidemiological data obtained from atomic bomb survivors and uranium mine workers. The lung has a large surface area which makes it a prominent target for radiation exposure making …

Transcriptomic and Secretomic Profiling of Isolated Leukocytes Exposed to Alpha-Particle and Photon Radiation - Applications in Biodosimetry
The general public is at risk of ionising-radiation exposure. The development of high-throughput methods to triage exposures is warranted. Current biodosimetry techniques are low-throughput and encumbered by time and technical expertise. Although there has been an emergence of gene-profiling tools …

Effects of Proton Radiation on Behavior in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer’s Disease
… Earth’s magnetosphere risk exposure to charged particle radiation that has been shown to cause neurological deficits in rodents via oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, altered neurogenesis, and synaptic changes. Since these responses are similar to those observed in age-related …

High-Throughput Mapping of The Biological Effects of Particle Therapy
<p>Radiation therapy is an essential tool in the cure of many cancer patients. Charged particle based radiation therapies are gaining momentum as the physical dose distributions of ions are superior to standard photons due their limited range. Additionally, charged particle radiation has been shown …

Bone Cancer Incidence in Texas Counties With Elevated Radium Content in Drinking Water
… which deposits in bone tissue and emits alpha particle radiation when it decays. Radium dose and carcinogenesis has been carefully researched in the cases of radium dial painters and patients who were administered radium nostrums and potions. This paper analyzes the bone cancer incidence in …

VIABILITY OF CERIUM OXIDE NANOPARTICLES AS A RADIOPROTECTOR AGAINST PROTON RADIATION FOR NON-MALIGNANT CELLS
Radiation therapy is a prevalent cancer treatment therapy. The goal is to kill all tumor cells while minimizing damage to healthy cells and new methods that can accomplish this goal are continually being investigated. Cerium Oxide (CeO₂) or ceria nanoparticles have recently shown to act as a …

Treatment planning for manifold multi-ion particle therapy
Conventional charged particle radiation therapy systems utilise a single charged particle species to deliver a therapeutic radiation dose to the target - most commonly protons or carbon ions. While such radiation therapy is highly effective for the treatment of many cancers, there is growing …

Applications of Voronoi partitions in particle therapy
Treating cancer using charged particles heavier than electrons is becoming more and more popular in modern cancer management due to its increased dose to the targeted tumors and improved sparing of surrounding normal tissues and critical structures. Many challenging and interesting mathematical …

A thermofluid network-based methodology for integrated simulation of heat transfer and combustion in a pulverized coal-fired furnace
… model that captures the three-dimensional radiation effects, flue gas exit temperature profile, carbon burnout and O2 and CO2 concentrations, while integrated with the steam side process model for dynamic simulations. A thermofluid network-based methodology is proposed that combines the …

Active Rigidization of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites via Internal Resistive Heating
… conditions in space--such as ionizing radiation, UV and particle radiation, atomic oxygen, and impacts from space debris and meteoroids. They must also exhibit stable operation over a useful storage and mission life. Methods for causing rigidization in inflatable spacecraft include both …

Non-adiabatic electron-ion dynamics in semiconductors under ionizing particle irradiation
Highly energetic ions have broad applications from semiconductor industry to medicine. However, as they impact materials, they inevitably cause damage, which fundamentally determines the materials' properties. Hence, the success of these applications relies on quantitative understanding of how …
