A PROPOSED METHODOLOGY TO ASSESS HDR [superscript]192Ir RADIAL DOSE WITH FRICKE DOSIMETRY
(East Carolina University, 2011)The radial absorbed dose to water, D(r,theta), a quantity not yet directly measured with primary standards, was assessed with the Fricke solution which has been considered as an absolute aqueous solution to perform dosimetry. ... -
Radioprotective Effect of American Ginseng on Human Lymphocytes at 90 Minutes Post-irradiation: A Study of 40 Cases
(East Carolina University, 2010-05)Backgroundâ Ionizing radiation (IR) initiates intracellular oxidative stress through enhanced formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that attack DNA leading to cell death. As the diversity of IR applied in medicine, ... -
Secondary Electron Emission Yields from Fast Fluorine Ions on Copper and Amorphous Solid Water Foils
(East Carolina University, 2011)The biological outcomes from charged particle radiation exposure are heavily influenced by the spatial patterns of energy distributed within the biological system. Monte Carlo track structure codes can be used to model ... -
