Response of rats to dose rates of ionizing radiation evaluated by dielectric properties of bone marrow.

The response of adult Wistar albino female rats toward two dose rates of gamma radiation delivered as acute dose of 7 Gy is investigated using classical methodologies as chemical, hematological and histological parameters in comparison with newly introduced dielectric parameters. Two groups of rats were exposed to γ ray with dose rates 533.35 mGy/min and 325.

Permittivity, entropy, free and internal energies as tools for detecting radiation dose rates' changes in Hb.

In this paper we'll shed some light on well-known physical parameters to introduce them as new tools, biophysical markers, for diagnosis and prognosis of the molecular, cellular, tissue and organ biosystems such as Haemoglobin representing the macromolecules' category. Where the data reveal a lot of information about the effect of radiation dose rate on the macromolecule that are not discovered by conventional ways. Also, data put forward the dielectric and thermodynamical parameters and classify them as premiers and superiors for the detection of any disturbance that occurs in the electrical homogeneity of the macromolecule.

Natural radioactivity contents in tobacco and radiation dose induced from smoking.

One of the causative factors for cancer-inducing mechanisms in humans is radioactive elements present in tobacco leaves used in the manufacture of cigarettes. Smoking of tobacco and its products increases the internal intake and radiation dose due to naturally occurring radionuclides that are considered to be one of the most significant causes of lung cancer. In this work, different commercial types of cigarettes, cigar and moassel were collected from market.
