A MODEL OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE GIVING A PLAUSIBLE MECHANISM FOR THE EFFECT OF FRACTIONATED LOW-DOSE IONIZING RADIATION EXPOSURE.

A model of cardiovascular disease giving a plausible mechanism for the effect of fractionated low-dose ionizing radiation exposure.

Beach Ball Atherosclerosis is the main cause of coronary heart disease and stroke, the two major causes of death in developed society.There is emerging evidence of excess risk of cardiovascular disease at low radiation doses in various occupationally exposed groups receiving small daily radiation doses.Assuming that they are causal, the mechanisms

Study of blind thrust faults underlying Tokyo and Osaka urban areas using a combination of high-resolution seismic reflection profiling and continuous coring

We acquired high-resolution seismic reflection profiles and continuously cored boreholes to evaluate active flexures produced by major blind thrust fault systems within two densely populated Neogene-Quaternary sedimentary basins in Japan: the Fukaya Fault System near Tokyo in the Kanto Basin BREATHE WELL and the Uemachi Fault System in
