TL;DR: In this article, a semi-empirical method was given to obtain the relative full-energy peak efficiency ϵγ of a Ge(Li) diode over the γ-ray energy range 50 to 1400 keV.

TL;DR: In this article, a zirconium single crystal was irradiated at 473-523 K and its growth measured by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) at various fluences by TEM, and an explanation for the measured growth was given in terms of defects that are too small to be seen in the electron microscope, i.e. point defects or very small defect clusters.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared before and after alkaline hydrogen peroxide (AHP) treatment of cellulose and found that AHP treatment did not cause detectable changes in the structure of highly polymerized cellulose.
Abstract: Neutron diffraction profiles for cellulose from different sources were compared before and after alkaline hydrogen peroxide (AHP) treatment. It was found that AHP treatment did not cause detectable changes in the structure of highly polymerized cellulose. In measurements on wheat straw, peaks were observed at the angles characteristic of pure cellulose. Changes, with AHP treatment, of the intensities, positions, and widths of these peaks were consistent with effects due to delignification, which frees the cellulose lattice from strains caused by the binding of lignin.

TL;DR: The Linear No Threshold (LNT) hypothesis states that ionizing radiation risk is directly proportional to dose, without a threshold as discussed by the authors, and is used to calculate radiation risk estimates for humans.
Abstract: The Linear No Threshold (LNT) hypothesis states that ionizing radiation risk is directly proportional to dose, without a threshold. This hypothesis, along with a number of additional derived or auxiliary concepts such as radiation and tissue type weighting factors, and dose rate reduction factors, are used to calculate radiation risk estimates for humans, and are therefore fundamental for radiation protection practices. This system is based mainly on epidemiological data of cancer risk in human populations exposed to relatively high doses (above 100 mSv), with the results linearly extrapolated back to the low doses typical of current exposures. The system therefore uses dose as a surrogate for risk. There is now a large body of information indicating that, at low doses, the LNT hypothesis, along with most of the derived and auxiliary concepts, is incorrect. The use of dose as a predictor of risk needs to be re-examined and the use of dose limits, as a means of limiting risk needs to be re-evaluated. This re-evaluation could lead to large changes in radiation protection practices.
