ABSTRACTIn this paper we address the degradation of oxide reliability after annealing the phosphorusdoped polysilicon of MOS structures. The oxide reliability was studied in terms of X-ray radiation sensitivity as well as breakdown characteristics.We found that annealing the polysilicon increased the radiation sensitivity of the gate oxide. We believe that this increase is a result of the phosphorus out-diffusion from the polysilicon into the oxide and a result of the creation of phosphorus related traps in the oxide bulk. We also found that the oxide charge to breakdown (Qbd) degradation correlates well with the density of the phosphorus in the oxide.

Interventional Female Cardiologists (WIC) operating in high case mix laboratories are exposed to a significant chest X-Ray scattered dose from the patient. In this setting stochastic effect may be highly detrimental because of breast radiation sensitivity. Aim of this study is to measure and optimize WICs’ chest radiation exposure in a high case mix electrophysiology laboratory, in order to validate and implement the use of personal protective equipment and lead equivalent glass viewing window, and to evaluate chest X-Ray exposure behind the protective equipment.

ABSTRACT Genetic analysis of a large number of radiation-sensitive mutants of S. pombe, isolated in different laboratories, showed that these isolates represent 22 non-allelic loci. The mutants were shown to fall into three distinct classes concerning response to UV and ionizing radiation, including two mutants which are primarily sensitive to ionizing radiation but not to UV. Single-gene mutants were crossed to obtain supersensitive double mutants. Such double mutants showed a marked increase in sensitivity to a variety of inactivating agents as compared to the parental strains. The isolation of three classes of radiation-sensitive mutants and the construction of double mutants implies the presence of multiple pathways in S. pombe for repair of radiation-induced damage. The bearing of these data on cellular repair mechanisms in eukaryotes is discussed.

SummaryBy physical and genetic analysis of deletion mutants of the narrow host range IncP-10P. aeruginosaconjugative plasmid R91–5 it has been shown that the phenotypes related to its transfer, namely the inhibition of the replication of the phage G101, entry exclusion and the fertility inhibition of the wide host range plasmid R18 map at kilobase coordinates 19·7–20·7, 18·5–19·7, 28·8–30·15 and/or 34·9–36·15, respectively. These locations have been confirmed by cloning restriction enzyme generated DNA fragments of R91–5 into a small broad host range, multicopy non-conjugative plasmid.

After cereals, tubers and roots are the major source of starch for food and industrial uses. Arrowroot refers to any plant of the genus Marantha, but the term is most commonly used to describe the easily digested starch obtained from the rhizomes of Marantha arundinacae. The rhizomes of this herbaceous plant contain about 20% of starch. As few studies exist on arrowroot starch, the objective of this preliminary work was to study the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of arrowroot starch when treated by γ-radiation with doses up to 15 kGy in a 60Co source. The XRD patterns of the arrowroot starch exhibited A-type crystalline arrangements with strong peaks at approximately 15º, 17º, 18ºand 23º (2θ). A slight increase of diffractogram peaks intensity was noticed after the irradiation process. The cristallinity index was calculated using Bruker DIFFRAC.EVA version 4.2 software. Relative crystallinity seems to increase with radiation doses, and this effect is more noticeable at low doses. That can be attributed to different radiation sensitivity among the amorphous and crystalline regions of the arrowroot starch molecule. Present results will contribute to elucidate the behavior under radiation treatment of this starchy component increasingly employed by the food industry.
