Radiation Hazards from the Modern Information Communication Technology Equipment: An Imminent Public Health Threat!
Abstract: With exponential growth in ICT (Information, Communication and Technology) sector, world is experiencing an extraordinary phenomenon of change in inter-personal communication. Policy documents, declarations, recommendations and publications on health impact of radiations from mobile phones and base station were consulted to review existing debate on public health hazards of the emitted radiation. Newspaper articles were reviewed for current updates. Scientific literature provides conflicting evidence, inconsistent across different studies. Guidelines set …

Reliability-Aware Mathematical Model for Radiation-Hardened Satellite Communication Systems
Abstract: Satellite communication systems operate in radiation environments in which total ionizing dose (TID), displacement damage, and single-event effects (SEE) can progressively degrade electronic, optoelectronic, and communication components and can ultimately reduce link availability and mission reliability. This paper develops a Reliability-Aware Radiation-Hardened Satellite Communication Model (R-RHSCM) that mathematically couples the orbital radiation environment, accumulated radiation dose, component degradation, communication-link performance, single-event failure probability, redundancy, thermal effects, and adaptive mitigation. The …

A Study to Evaluate Knowledge of Radiotherapy Side Effects Among Cancer Patients
Abstract: Introduction: Ionizing radiation is used in radiotherapy, which is typically administered as part of cancer treatment to either kill or stop the development of cancerous cells. Radiation therapy is synergistic with chemotherapy and has been used before, during, and after chemotherapy in susceptible cancers. About 68% of patients received radiation therapy. Although radiation treatment (RT) is harmless in and of itself, there is a chance of iatrogenic adverse effects. A …

Some Aspects of the Vagaries in the Pattern of Meteorological Parameters in the State of Rajasthan in Association with the LULC Change
Abstract: Present work examined the role of the change in land use and land cover (LULC) in altering the rainfall and temperature pattern over the western part of the Rajasthan, India. For this purpose, the high-resolution gridded rainfall and surface temperature data sets prepared by IMD (India Meteorological Department) and Climatological Research Unit Time Series (CRU TS 3.21) have been utilized. An increase in surface temperature and decrease in rainfall for …

Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) and Cellular Phones: Controversy over Oral Carcinoma
Abstract: All electrical and electronic devices, anywhere where electricity (electrons) flows through wire, set up magnetic fields (EMFs=low frequency electromagnetic fields). Generation of EMFs occurs when there is any significant flow of electricity. EMFs are alternating fields that center on frequencies up to 300 Hz (radiation in the microwave range). The risk from EMFs occurs from significant exposure from high-voltage power lines or in substation transformers, microwave ovens, cellular phones, appliances …
