The international and European standards for the validation and routine control of sterilization
using ionizing radiation require that the effectiveness of a sterilization dose of 25 kGy be …

The radiation response of spores of Bacillus pumilus was examined for irradiation with 5–7
MeV X-ray at commercial sterilization facilities. The response was found to be the same as …

The innate sensitivity of micro-organisms towards high energy radiation varies widely;
different types, species and strains exhibit greatly differing sensitivities. Certain environmental …

The radiation response of spores of Bacillus pumilus were examined for irradiation with cobalt
60 photons, 10MeV electrons and low energy electrons at 100 and 80keV. The responses …

The attractive appearance of this little book, its compact size, the neat diagrams and the clear
lay-out of each page make a favourable first impression which closer study does nothing to …

Increasing concentrations of the ketonic agents, diacetyl, acetone, acetophenone and p‐nitroacetophenone,
cause regular increases in the radiosensitivity of aqueous anoxic spores to …

The use in this laboratory of dried isolated cells in investigations of ear in irradiated cells
has resulted in identification of some radiation-induced chemical species and has permitted …

The northward spread of hazel (Corylus avellana L.) from its glacial period refuges has been
studied for over a century. North of the Alps the course of its pollen curve, in both relative …

The fundamentals of a prototype method for substantiation of a sterilization dose of 25 kGy
have been described in a recent report (Kowalski, JB, Tallentire, A., 1999. Radiat. Phys. Chem…

A model describing the dependence of the proportion of items contaminated (P) in a
population of items on radiation dose (D) has been developed. The model was evaluated for a …
