Food Irradiation Research and Technology (IFT Press) (Institute of Food Technologists, #69)
The benefits of food irradiation to the public health have been described extensively by organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the U.S. and the World Health Organization. The American Medical Association and the American Dietetic Association have both endorsed the irradiation process. Yet the potential health benefits of irradiation are unknown to many consumers and food industry representatives who are wary of irradiated foods due to myth-information from "cons...

Manual of Good Practice in Food Irradiation (Technical Reports)
Ensuring that the process of irradiating food delivers the desired result consistently is essential for the correct application of the technology and will help to inspire consumer confidence in irradiated food. This publication aims to help operators of irradiation facilities to appreciate and improve their practices and also to provide detailed, yet straightforward, technical information for stakeholders such as food regulators, manufacturers and traders, who also need to understand `good pract...
Radiative Properties of Semiconductors (Iop Concise Physics)
by N M Ravindra, Sita Rajyalaxmi Marthi, and Asahel Banobre
Optical properties, particularly in the infrared range of wavelengths, continue to be of enormous interest to both material scientists and device engineers. The need for the development of standards for data of optical properties in the infrared range of wavelengths is very timely considering the on-going transition of nano-technology from fundamental R&D to manufacturing. Radiative properties play a critical role in the processing, process control and manufacturing of semiconductor materials, d...
This book has three volume. The first volume is mainly devoted to the macroscopic-microscopic theory in its traditional form and extended to very high mass and charge asymmetry. Applications of this theory to the emission of different kinds of charged particles from nuclei are presented in the second volume, where recent experimental achievements in alpha decay, proton, and heavy ion (14C, 24Ne, 28Mg, etc.) radioactivities are also discussed. Experiments on spontaneous fission, fission isomers,...
Bei der zunehmenden Verbreitung und den vielen Eigentiimlich- keiten der Quarzlampe hat sich das Bediirfnis nach einer system a- tischen Zusammenstellung ihrer Eigenschaften und einer iibersicht- lichen Beschreibung ihrer konstruktiven Einzelheiten geltend gemacht. Zur Fiillung dieser Liicke solI die vorliegende Schrift beitragen und den, der praktisch mit der Lampe zu tun hat oder an ihrer Weiter- entwicklung arbeiten will, unterstiitzen. Die Quarzlampe ist jetzt sozusagen aus ihren Kinderjahre...
Radiation theory and measurements are at the core of the climate change debate. This new book describes in detail the basic physics used in radiative transfer codes that are a key part of climate prediction models. The basic principles are extended to the atmospheres of the Earth and the other planets, illustrating the greenhouse effect and other radiation-based phenomena at work. Several chapters deal with the techniques and measurements for monitoring the Earth's radiation budget and thus trac...
Nuclear data for the production of therapeutic radionuclides (Technical reports, #473)
This publication reports the results of an IAEA coordinated research project on nuclear data for the production of therapeutic radionuclides. The aim was to provide standardized data for the production of radionuclides for therapeutic purposes, embracing current and possible future needs. Experimental data compilations, theoretical calculations and evaluations were carried out for each of the reactions. The recommendations for production of both established and emerging radionuclides are discuss...
Radiation Protection of the Public and the Environment (IAEA Safety Standards)
This Safety Guide provides guidance on the implementation of the requirements in the International Basic Safety Standards, IAEA Safety Standards Series No. GSR Part 3, in relation to protection of the public and the environment against radiation risks. It provides generic guidance on the application of the radiation protection principles of justification, of optimization of protection and safety, and of dose limits. The publication covers the protection of the public and the environment in all e...
This is an excellent introduction for graduate students and nonspecialists to the field of mathematical and computational neurosciences. The book approaches the subject via pulsed-coupled neural networks, which have at their core the lighthouse and integrate-and-fire models. These allow for highly flexible modeling of realistic synaptic activity, synchronization and spatio-temporal pattern formation. The more advanced pulse-averaged equations are discussed.

The Genetic Effects of Radiation
by U S Atomic Energy Commission, Isaac Asimov, and Professor Theodosius Dobzhansky
Optical Radiometry (Experimental Methods in the Physical Sciences, #41)
by Albert C Parr
This book deals with the practice of Optical Radiation Measurements with introductory material to introduce the topics discussed. It will be most useful for students, scientists and engineers working in any academic, industrial or governmental projects related to optical radiation. The book contains chapters that treat in detail the procedures and techniques for the characterization of both sources and detectors to the highest degree of accuracy and reliability. It has a chapter devoted speci...
The account of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics in Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics is based on entropy and its maximization. Building from first principles, it gives a transparent explanation of the physical behaviour of equilibrium thermodynamic systems, and it presents a comprehensive, self-contained account of the modern mathematical and computational techniques of statistical mechanics. This field of study is of vital importance to researchers, lecturers and students alike...
