Sinossi

Safe Radiation Limits explores the complex issue of radiation exposure and the effectiveness of current safety guidelines in safeguarding public health. It examines whether existing "safe" radiation levels adequately protect everyone, particularly vulnerable populations, from long-term, low-dose exposures. One intriguing aspect discussed is how radiation interacts with living tissue, potentially leading to both immediate and long-term health issues, including cancer. The book also highlights the historical development of radiation safety standards, shaped by scientific discoveries, regulatory decisions, and ethical considerations.

 
The book uniquely analyzes radiation safety by exploring the science behind radiation's biological effects, tracing the evolution of safety standards, and examining real-world applications across medicine, industry, and environmental regulation. It critically assesses existing risk assessment models and proposes alternative approaches. Beginning with the basic principles of radiation physics and biology, it then delves into specific areas of concern, such as medical imaging risks, occupational exposure in nuclear industries, and the consequences of nuclear accidents, ultimately proposing a framework for a more comprehensive approach to radiation safety.

 
Safe Radiation Limits emphasizes the need for ongoing research, public education, and proactive risk management. It aims to stimulate a more informed discussion about radiation risks, considering topics like the linear no-threshold (LNT) model of cancer risk and the safety standards for children and pregnant women. The book will be invaluable to public health professionals, environmental scientists, policymakers, and anyone wanting a deeper understanding of radiation exposure.

    You are an Agile Coach and your client has asked you a question.  He is an engineering manager and the company has just announced a "work from home" policy.   Developers may now work from home instead of coming to the office. 
    The Engineering Manager has asked you if there are any "Agile Metrics" he can use to make sure his developers stay busy and are not being lazy.  He is investigating software to record when people log in and log out, and count their keystrokes in between. 
    What should you tell him to do? 
    This case and the others in the series come from the real-world experiences of a group of Scrum professionals who meet regularly to discuss the Scrum Framework and how to apply it to actual situations they have encountered.  These discussions have been led since 2015 by Frederik Mark Fowler, A Doctor of Scrum and Holder of the Professional Scrum Master level III certification awarded by Scrum.org.  Fred has worked with the Scrum Framework for almost 20 years and has trained more then 300 people to become Scrum Masters and Product Owners.

  • The Deadly Rise of Anti-science - A Scientist's Warning - cover

    The Deadly Rise of Anti-science...

    During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, one renowned scientist, in his famous bowtie, appeared daily on major news networks such as MSNBC, NPR, the BBC, and others.  
     
    Dr. Peter J. Hotez often went without sleep, working around the clock to develop a nonprofit COVID-19 vaccine and to keep the public informed. During that time, he was one of the most trusted voices on the pandemic and was even nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for  
    his selfless work. He also became one of the main targets of anti-science rhetoric that gained traction through conservative news media.  
     
    In this eyewitness story of how the anti-vaccine movement grew into a dangerous and prominent anti-science element in American politics, Hotez describes the devastating impacts it has had on Americans’ health and lives. As a scientist who has endured antagonism from anti-vaxxers and been at the forefront of both essential scientific discovery and advocacy, Hotez is uniquely qualified to tell this story. By weaving his personal experiences together with information on how the anti-vaccine movement became a tool of far-right political figures around the world, Hotez opens readers’ eyes to the dangers of anti-science. He explains how anti-science became a major societal and lethal force: in the first years of the pandemic, more than 200,000 unvaccinated Americans needlessly died despite the widespread availability of COVID-19 vaccines. Even as he paints a picture of the world under a shadow of aggressive ignorance, Hotez demonstrates his innate optimism, offering solutions for how to combat science denial and save lives in the process.

    Introduction to Quantum Field...

    Quantum Field Theory (QFT) is the framework that unifies quantum mechanics and special relativity, providing a theoretical foundation for describing fundamental particles and their interactions. Unlike quantum mechanics, which describes particles as wavefunctions evolving in time, QFT treats particles as excitations of underlying fields that pervade all of space. This shift in perspective is necessary to accommodate relativistic effects and to describe processes such as particle creation and annihilation, which are not possible in non-relativistic quantum mechanics. 
    The motivation for QFT arises from the limitations of single-particle quantum mechanics when applied to high-energy physics. In relativistic systems, particles can be created and destroyed in interactions, as seen in high-energy collisions and radioactive decays. Traditional quantum mechanics, which treats particles as fixed entities, cannot account for such processes. By formulating particles as field excitations, QFT allows for a consistent description of multi-particle interactions and naturally incorporates the principles of special relativity. 
    At its core, QFT extends the principles of classical field theory to quantum systems. Classical field theories, such as Maxwell’s electrodynamics, describe how physical quantities vary across space and time. In QFT, these fields are quantized, meaning that their excitations correspond to discrete particles. The simplest example is the Klein-Gordon field, which describes spin-zero particles like mesons. The quantization of this field leads to the interpretation of its solutions as particle states, obeying relativistic energy-momentum relations.
