We present a spatial analysis of residential radon concentrations in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area, which we intend to use to assign radon exposure in an ongoing case-control study. As part of a… (More)
Inflorescences of Tradescantia clone 4430 were exposed to different concentrations of radon (Rn) gas (0.85, 12.10, 36.50 and 98.16 kBq/m3) from plants placed in an acrylic chamber that received radon… (More)
The SOS response to alpha-radiation was measured using two Escherichia coli strains with differential repair capabilities. Monolayers of exponentially growing cells, placed on cellulose acetate… (More)
An alpha-dose calculation due to radon uptake in anthers of Tradescantia, clone 4430, has been performed. Probability distribution density of the dose in the pollen mother cells was calculated by… (More)
6 Summary and Future Work MVPe provides a system for visually describing simulations in a variety of application domains. The visual interface simpliies topology layout and allows rapid… (More)
Larvae of Drosophila were exposed to a range of concentrations of alpha particles from 3 to 318 mRad, and genetic effects measured in the wing-spot test. The results were positive, and evidence of a… (More)
Small metallic nanoparticles of neodymium are obtained by a facile route based on the biosynthesis and the pH conditions that demonstrate the possibility of obtaining particles of 1-8 nm. The size is… (More)
