Springer, 2008. - 677 p. - Comprehensive theoretical and
experimental analysis of UV-radiation and low energy electron
induced phenomena in nucleic acid bases (NABs) and base assemblies
are presented in this book. NABs are highly photostable; the
absorbed energy is dissipated in the form of ultrafast nonradiative
decay.
This book highlights the possible mechanisms of these phenomena
which is important for all living species and discusses technical
challenges in exploration of these processes. This volume will be
of particular interest for those involved in understanding the
photophysical/photochemical properties of nucleic acids. All
chapters are written by the world's leading experts, both from the
experimental and computational areas.

Springer, 2012. - 508 p. - Since the discovery of X-rays and radioactivity, ionizing radiations have been widely applied in medicine both for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The risks associated with radiation exposure and handling led to the parallel development of the field of radiation protection. Pioneering experiments done by Sanche and co-workers in 2000 showed that low-energy secondary electrons, which are abundantly generated along r...
