MEASUREMENT OF CERENKOV RADIATION INDUCED BY THE GAMMA-RAYS OF CO-60 THERAPY UNITS USING WAVELENGTH SHIFTING FIBER

Measurement of Cerenkov Radiation Induced by the Gamma-Rays of Co-60 Therapy Units Using Wavelength Shifting Fiber

In this study, a wavelength shifting fiber that shifts ultra-violet and blue light to green light was employed as a sensor probe of a fiber-optic Cerenkov radiation sensor.In order to characterize Cerenkov radiation generated in the developed wavelength shifting fiber and a plastic optical fiber, spectra and intensities of Cerenkov radiation were m

Subjective cognitive complaints and cardiovascular risk factors in older Mexican Americans: A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT: Background: Subjective cognitive complaints (SCC) are associated with higher risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia.Cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) have been also associated with cognitive decline, MCI, and dementia.Few studies have examined the associated of CVRF and SCC.Methods: Participants were cognitively normal Mexi
