Nuclear radiation effects
The document discusses the effects of radiation on health from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. It explains that there are two types of radiation: non-ionizing and ionizing. Ionizing radiation is more dangerous and can cause cancer. Exposure to radiation can initially cause nausea, fatigue and vomiting, and higher exposures may lead to hair loss, diarrhea, destruction of the intestinal lining, and eventually death. Cesium-137 and iodine-131 are particularly dangerous isotopes released during nuclear accidents. The document concludes by noting the sievert measurement of radiation dose and the types of sickness that different doses can cause.

The document discusses the health effects of radiation exposure. There are two types of radiation - ionizing and non-ionizing. Ionizing radiation is dangerous as it can break chemical bonds. Exposure to ionizing radiation can cause initial symptoms like nausea and fatigue with heavier exposures damaging organs. Different levels of exposure are measured in sieverts, with exposures over 500,000 microsieverts causing health effects and over 4,000,000 microsieverts being lethal. Radionuclides from nuclear events can contaminate the environment and accumulate in food and water.
Possible health effects_of_nuclear_crisis_1
The document discusses the potential health effects of radiation exposure from the Fukushima nuclear crisis. It explains that there are two types of radiation: non-ionizing and ionizing. Ionizing radiation, which includes gamma rays and X-rays, can cause cancer if a person is exposed in large enough doses. Symptoms of radiation exposure include nausea, fatigue, vomiting, hair loss and diarrhea. The document also notes that radioactive iodine and cesium emitted from the Fukushima plant can be absorbed by the body and pose health risks, particularly to children, if exposure levels are high enough. It concludes that while not all radiation is dangerous, increased exposure could raise cancer risks.
Health effect of nuclear crisis
Ionizing radiation can be harmful by breaking molecules like DNA and causing cancer. The effects of radiation exposure include initial nausea and fatigue, then potential hair loss, diarrhea, organ damage, and eventually death at high levels. While nuclear power plants operate at lower uranium concentrations than nuclear bombs, radiation from the Fukushima crisis included dangerous iodine-131 and cesium-137 isotopes. Exposure levels over 500,000 microsieverts can cause short-term sickness, and doses over 1 million microsieverts lead to further health issues.
1kome
Ionizing radiation can cause health effects depending on the duration of exposure. Cesium-137 and iodine-131 are especially dangerous because iodine-131 is absorbed by the thyroid gland where it can cause tumors, and it has a short half-life of 8 days, posing risks especially to children. Small doses of radiation over a lifetime that total 10,000 microsieverts may result in 5-6 additional cancer deaths per 10,000 people exposed compared to those not exposed.
Possible health effect_of_radiation
This document discusses the different types of radiation and their health effects. It outlines ionizing radiation, which can break down body structures and cause nausea, fatigue, hair loss, and death at high levels. Two types of radiation from Fukushima are cesium-137, which can cause sarcoma and contaminate foods/water, and iodine-131, which can cause thyroid tumors but can be prevented with iodine tablets. The document concludes by noting the need to monitor radiation levels until Fukushima is stopped and consider new energy resources to replace nuclear power.

Ionizing radiation from sources like x-rays and radioactive particles can cause health effects such as cancer if exposure is prolonged. Internal exposure from ingesting radioactive materials like cesium-137 or iodine-131, which accumulate in different parts of the body, is especially dangerous as they cannot be easily removed and expose tissues to radiation over time. Prolonged exposure to ionizing radiation can lead to symptoms like nausea, fatigue, hair loss, and diarrhea, and higher doses may damage the central nervous system or cause death.
Nuclear radiation health_effects
1) Authorities sheltered over 170,000 people within 12 miles of the nuclear plant and distributed iodine tablets to those within 20 miles. At least 200 people were exposed to radiation.
2) Radiation is categorized as ionizing or non-ionizing. Ionizing radiation like x-rays and gamma rays is more dangerous as it can destroy chemical bonds and cause cancer.
3) Effects of radiation exposure depend on duration but initially include nausea, tiredness, vomiting, and later hair loss, diarrhea, and potentially organ damage and death at higher exposures.
Possible health effects of nuclear crisis
Ionizing radiation can break chemical bonds and cause health effects like nausea, fatigue, vomiting, hair loss and diarrhea. Exposure to 500,000 microsieverts can cause nausea and fatigue within hours, while 750,000 microsieverts leads to hair loss within a few weeks. A million microsieverts can cause hemorrhaging and 4 million microsieverts usually leads to death. The Chernobyl disaster directly caused 50 deaths within months and is estimated to eventually cause 4000 radiation-related deaths.

This document discusses two types of radiation: non-ionizing and ionizing. Non-ionizing radiation such as infrared and radio waves is not harmful, while ionizing radiation like X-rays and gamma rays can break chemical bonds and cause cancer. Specifically, the radiation from Fukushima is in the form of radiocesium and radioiodine. Cesium is dangerous because it spreads throughout the body and contaminates food and water, while iodine is absorbed in the thyroid and can cause tumors, especially in children. The conclusion recommends increasing knowledge about dangerous radiation doses and continuing cleanup efforts in Fukushima.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

- 1. Effect of radiation 1 s1180050 Takahiro Oda
- 2. Index ● Is all radiation harmful? ● What absorbs by you when exposed to the radiation? ● Amount of radiation released from nuclear plant. ● What makes cesium-137 and iodine-131 dangerous? ● Conclusion
- 3. Is all radiation harmful? ● There are two types of radiation: non-ionizing and ionizing. ● Non-ionizing is safe. ● Ionizing radiation is much more dangerous because it does break chemical bonds and thus does cause cancer.
- 4. What absorbs by you when exposed to the radiation? ● The first signs include nausea and fatigue, then vomiting. ● After that comes hair loss and diarrhea. ● The next stage is generally destruction of the intestinal lining and worse diarrhea and dehydration, then central nervous system damage. ● After that comes loss of consciousness and, inevitably, death.
- 5. Amount of radiation released from nuclear plant. ● A nuclear explosion produces a lot of types of radiation that have lethal effects. ● It produces clouds of radioactive ash that includes cesium-137, iodine-131, radioactive strontium and a host of other long-lived byproducts of the explosion. ● It can accumulate in food, milk, water and other products that are ingested.
- 6. What makes cesium-137 and iodine-131 dangerous? ● Iodine-131 is absorbed preferentially in the thyroid gland, where it can cause tumors. ● It has a half-life of eight days and is most dangerous to children because it damages rapidly dividing cells.
- 7. Conclusion ● The radiation is very dangerous. ● It is important to judge the amount of the radiation and to decrease going out. ● It understood that effects of atomic radiation appear in various parts.
- 8. Thank you for listening.
