High-Z Materials for X-ray Detection: Material Properties and Characterization Techniques

This book will provide readers with a good overview of some of most recent advances in the field of High-Z materials. There will be a good mixture of general chapters in both technology and applications in opto-electronics, X-ray detection and emerging optoelectronics applications. The book will have an in-depth review of the research topics from world-leading specialists in the field

Radio frequency (RF) radiation exposure and health

Through the history of wireless communication I show the explosive growth in time of mobile telephony and explain how this affects the perception of fear of the general public for electromagnetic radiation. Then, after explaining the physics of electromagnetic radiation, I discuss the interaction with the human body. I explain how RF and microwave radiation cannot be directly carcinogenic. Then I discuss the heating effect of RF and microwave radiation and the exposure limits to prevent adverse health effects for humans. After explaining how a correlation between electromagnetic fields and electromagnetic hypersensitivity has not been established, I will discuss the probability and possibility of a causal relationship between long-term RF radiation exposure and cancer. I will discuss the viewpoint of the World Health Organization that considers RF radiation as possibly carcinogenic for humans and those of leading expert organizations and conclude with current and future epidemiologic research

Process and device requirements for mixed-signal integrated circuits in broadband networking

The paper describes the present status of the broadband wireline infrastructure consisting of the backbone core, metre rings, access network, local and storage area networks. Examples of various mixed-signal integrated circuits are described. Based on these considerations required process and device performance is extrapolated
