This book discusses some of the most important technologies and methods in physics that are used to investigate the influence of ionising radiation on bones. The first goal of this research is to select the best technology among them to investigate which of the methods may show best the influence of X-ray irradiation on the structural imperfections in the surface material and subsurface material (i.e. depth of about 10 nm or less) of the bone. Optical Methods, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy are among the methods discussed. Exoemission Spectroscopy has the main advantage...

Nuclear power contributes to the economic development of the country it is built in by providing electricity with relatively inexpensive prices than that of other energy sources. However, the construction costs of nuclear power plants are usually very expensive and nuclear power may pose a potential threat for human health, security and the environment. Different arguments are discussed in this book on whether and how nuclear power plants contribute to sustainability and the citizens well-being. Furthermore, major recommendations are suggested to the policy makers and governments whether the...
