Safe exploitation of nuclear power plants is one of the main concerns of the modern society. In Japan, close attention has been made to local nuclear infrastructure especially after the incident at the Fukushima-Daiichi power plant. In such structures, concrete has found its application as a support structure for reactor and/or biological shielding...

X-rays are defined as ionizing radiation and hydrolyze the water, causing free radical formation. Oxidative stress is the damage that occurs in cells due to the lack of antioxidants, which detoxifies them, with the increased production of free radicals that occur during normal cellular metabolism. To examine the acute effects of computed tomography...

Radioactive strontium isotopes play an important role in environmental radioactivity. Reliable activity standards are required in order to validate radioanalytical techniques and related measurements. In this paper, improved methods for the primary activity standardization of $^{90}$Sr/$^{90}$Y based on liquid scintillation counting are presented. ...

Recent studies have demonstrated that radiotherapy is able to induce anti-tumor immune responses in addition to mediating direct cytotoxic effects. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are central constituents of the tumor stroma and participate actively in tumor immunoregulation. However, the capacity of CAFs to influence immune responses in the c...

The sterile male release technique (SMRT) is a useful method applied for controlling invasive and pest species. However, the use of X-rays can lead to negative effects on the survival and health conditions of sterilized males. This study was set up to evaluate the functional integrity of physiological, morphological and behavioural responses in mal...

We experimentally and theoretically investigated the effects of ionizing radiation on a stack of graphene sheets separated by polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) slabs. The exceptional absorption ability of such a heterostructure in the THz range makes it promising for use in a graphene-based THz bolometer to be deployed in space. A hydrogen/carbon ion ...

Retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I)-like receptors (RLRs) mediate anti-viral response through mitochondria. In addition, RLR activation induces anti-tumor effects on various cancers. We previously reported that the RLR agonist Poly(I:C)-HMW/LyoVec™ (Poly(I:C)) enhanced radiosensitivity and that cotreatment with Poly(I:C) and ionizing radiation (...

This paper presents studies of the influence of the coincidence resolving time on the activity calculated by the Triple-to-Double Coincidences Ratio (TDCR) method in Liquid Scintillation (LS) counting. Recently, published methods for the correction for accidental coincidences in TDCR counting open the possibility to use resolving times up to severa...

Intraoperative radiological imaging serves an essential role in many spine surgery procedures. It is critical that patients, staff and physicians have an adequate understanding of the risks and benefits associated with radiation exposure for all involved. In this review, we briefly introduce the current trends associated with intraoperative radiolo...

The current review discusses the different synthetic pathways for one of the most important and interesting heterocyclic ring systems, 1,4-dihydropyridine. This cyclic system depicts diverse pharmacological action on several receptors, channels, and enzymes. Dihydropyridine moiety plays an important role in several calcium-channel blockers. Moreove...
