  1. 16. Molecular gas and ionizing radiation in star-forming galaxies

    Författare :Johannes Puschnig; Matthew Hayes; Göran Östlin; Amélie Saintonge; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; astrophysics; galaxies; star formation; starburst; interstellar medium; Lyman continuum; Lyman alpha; reionization; gravitational instability; molecular gas; clump formation; Astronomy; astronomi;

    Sammanfattning : In cosmic history, some of the major changes such as reionization were driven by baryons (i.e. the stars and gas in galaxies), despite the fact that they contribute only few percent to the total mass-energy budget in the Universe. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Radiobiological studies with low energy ionizing radiation - dosimetric aspects

    Författare :Gustav Grafström; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; low energy; Radiobiology; dosimetry; cell model; Radiofarmaceutisk teknik; Radiopharmaceutical technology; radiobiologi; Nukleärmedicin; radiobiology; Nuclear medicine; animal model;

    Sammanfattning : Background: During the last 20 years both in vitro and in vivo models have been developed for studies of the cell killing characteristics of low energy electrons, e.g. Auger electrons. This thesis deals with radiobiological effects of radiation from indium isotopes in V79 cells in vitro (Paper I-III) and the rat testis in vivo (Paper IVV). LÄS MER

  4. 18. Novel radiation targets in the endothelium and heart muscle

    Författare :Venkata Ramesh Yentrapalli; Siamak Haghdoost; William F. Morgan; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ionizing radiation; Endothelial cells; Senescence; Cardiovascular disease; Proteomics; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Sammanfattning : Worldwide, people are being exposed to natural and man-made sources of radiation. Epidemiological studies have shown an increased risk of vascular diseases in populations that have been exposed to ionizing radiation. Vascular endothelium is implicated as one of the targets for radiation leading to the development of cardiovascular diseases. LÄS MER

  5. 19. The microdosimetric variance-covariance method used for beam quality characterization in radiation protection and radiation therapy

    Författare :Jan Erik Lillhök; Lennart Lindborg; Bernd Grosswendt; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ionizing radiation; radiation quality; radiation protection; radiation therapy; microdosimetry; nanodosimetry; variance-covariance method; Radiological physics; Radiofysik; medicinsk strålningsfysik; Medical Radiation Physics;

    Sammanfattning : Radiation quality is described by the RBE (relative biological effectiveness) that varies with the ionizing ability of the radiation. Microdosimetric quantities describe distributions of energy imparted to small volumes and can be related to RBE. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Modeling DNA Damage

    Författare :Patric Schyman; Aatto Laaksonen; Sason Shaik; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; DNA; Ionizing radiation; DNA radicals; Strand break; Hydrogen abstraction; Density Functional Theory; Car-Parrinello Molecular Dynamics; QM MM; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry; fysikalisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis methods of computational chemistry have been used to examine DNA damaging processes initiated by ionizing radiation, free radicals, or Low-Energy Electrons (LEE). The computational chemistry method based on quantum mechanics that has been mainly used here is the Density Functional Theory (DFT). LÄS MER
