Connie K. Ho for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online Based on recent findings, researchers from Stanford University believe that radiation stemming from Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster may eventually lead to anywhere from 15 to 1,3000 deaths, with 24 to 2,500 due to cancer, in the country. The results of the project differ from previous studies that stated that the radioactive release from the nuclear disaster would not lead to significant health effects. The figures from...

(OTCBB: SNGX) (Soligenix or the Company), a development stage biopharmaceutical company, announced today that the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has awarded Soligenix a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant to support further preclinical development of OrbeShield(TM) (oral beclomethasone 17,21-dipropionate) as a treatment for gastrointestinal acute radiation syndrome (GI ARS)....
DALLAS, July 9, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- UT Southwestern Medical Center, seeking to broaden an already robust array of radiation oncology treatments it offers to patients, potentially could play a key role in operating a state-of-the-art proton therapy center for North Texas being planned and funded by San Diego-based Advanced Particle Therapy (APT). The plan, announced today, is subject to the approval of the UT System Board of Regents. Under the terms of a letter of intent,...
TORONTO, July 9, 2012 /CNW/ - His Excellency, the Rt. Hon. David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, has awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal to Dr Fergal Nolan, President of the Radiation Safety Institute of Canada. The award recognizes Dr Nolan's exceptional contribution to protecting Canadians from excessive exposure to radiation in workplaces and communities across Canada. The award will be presented today at the Ontario Legislature by the Hon. David Onley,...
Advances spectroscopy research: HZB scientists come up with new method for examining the structure of metal ions-complexes in solution HZB scientists have apply a new method – 'inverse Partial Fluorescence Yield' (iPFY) on micro-jet – which will enable them to probe the electronic structure of liquids free of sample damages. The experiments are performed in vacuum conditions at the LiXEdrom experimental chamber, where a fluid stream of micrometer diameter is moving freely through...
NEWPORT NEWS, Va., July 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Burlington Medical Supplies, a radiation protection and x-ray medical supply company, now offers no fog lenses. These lead glasses are the latest in technology for healthcare professionals who work in scatter radiation environments, such as doctors, nurses and technologists. These glasses are made with hi-lite transmission leaded glass that is treated with a unique thermally cured coating. They can be cleaned with any standard lens...
Advances in diagnostic imaging have benefited children with otolaryngologic disease, allowing shorter hospital stays, fewer invasive procedures, more targeted surgical procedures, and earlier and more precise diagnoses. However, despite improved technology, concerns about exposure of children to ionizing radiation have recently come to the forefront, according to a commentary in the July 2012 issue of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery. Children have more radiosensitive body tissues...

The above image looks at the month of March for the three cycles known as Normal Phase, El-Nino, and La-Nina. The data was recorded for the city of Honolulu Hawaii, during the month of March. Remember this is just data for one month during these cycles. Normal: During this cycle incoming solar activity was upwards to 48% efficient for the month, producing less than 50% of the month which is due to the large amount of daily cloud cover that is seen on the island during the early morning and...
The above image looks at the month of March for the three cycles known as Normal Phase, El-Nino, and La-Nina. The data was recorded for the city of Austin Texas. Remember this is just data for one month during these cycles. Normal: During this cycle incoming solar activity was upwards to 60% efficient for the month, producing enough solar energy that only 40% of the month would have not had strong incoming radiation. EL-Nino: This phase provided the area with an extended number of...
Electromagnetic Spectrum -- The electromagnetic spectrum describes the various types of electromagnetic radiation based on their wavelengths. Radio, representing wavelengths from a few feet to well over a mile, is at one end of the spectrum. Gamma ray radiation is at the other end: the wavelength of the harder types is so short, in the subatomic range, that we do not have instruments capable of directly measuring it. While the above classification scheme is generally accurate, in...
Electromagnetic Radiation -- Electromagnetic radiation is a combination of oscillating electric and magnetic fields propagating through space and carrying energy from one place to another. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. The theoretical study of electromagnetic radiation is called electrodynamics, a subfield of electromagnetism. When any wire (or other conducting object such as an antenna) conducts alternating current, electromagnetic radiation is propagated at the same...
Solar Radiation -- Solar radiation is radiant energy emitted by the sun due to nuclear fusion reactions. Fusion is the process whereby stars produce huge quantities of energy from the fusion of hydrogen or helium, in one of the most efficient processes of energy generation. The radiation referred to is usually electromagnetic energy, particularly infrared radiation, visible light, and ultraviolet. Some stars are known to emit radiation of other wavelengths. Solar neutrinos are a...
