Abstract:: Background: The use of high-Z nanoparticles as radiation dose enhancers has been researched thoroughly over the past decade. High-Z nanoparticles introduced to a medium increase the probability of photoelectric absorption. This leads to an increase in the production of short range characteristic and Auger electrons and, thus, local radiation dose....

Creator:: Colburn, Gabriel G.
Abstract:: Radiation therapy treatment planning and optimization requires accurate, precise, and fast computation of absorbed dose to all critical and target volumes in a patient. A new method for speeding up the computational costs of Monte Carlo dose calculations is described that employs a hybrid classical-quantum computing architecture. Representative results are...

Creator:: Jia, Junwei
Abstract:: Honeybees and honey combs are good indicators of environmental contamination and can be important for dose calculations. In the event of reactor accidents and nuclear weapon testing, the released radioactive materials are likely to be transported through various environmental pathways as well as by humans and animals, including bees. Due...

Full Text:: . Title: Beehive Model Creation for Use in Determining Radiation Dose to Beeswax and Bee Larvae

Creator:: Brock, Terry A.
Abstract:: Two methods of radiation dose assessment were evaluated for the Cs-137 in soil ⇒ leafy vegetable ⇒ human consumption exposure pathway at three fictitious contaminated sites in California, Colorado, and Florida. An annual dose equation was developed and per USEPA risk assessment guidelines, traditional, single point annual dose estimates were...
