Gamma-ray irradiation tests on CCD and CMOS sensors used in imaging techniques

2012

Technologically-enhanced electronic devices are used in various fields as space imaging or diagnostic techniques in medicine. The devices can be exposed to intense radiation fluxes over time which may impair the functioning of the same apparatus, in particular in space applications. In this paper we report the results of a gamma irradiation tests on imaging sensors simulating the space radiation over a long time period. Two types of sensors are taken into consideration: CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) sensors and CMOS based on technology MOS (Metal Oxide semiconductor) used for the realization of transistors widely used in consumer electronics. The devices are supplied by Techno System (Italy),…

Safety and efficacy of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce ileus after colorectal surgery

2019

Ileus is common after elective colorectal surgery, and is associated with increased adverse events and prolonged hospital stay. The aim was to assess the role of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for reducing ileus after surgery.A prospective multicentre cohort study was delivered by an international, student- and trainee-led collaborative group. Adult patients undergoing elective colorectal resection between January and April 2018 were included. The primary outcome was time to gastrointestinal recovery, measured using a composite measure of bowel function and tolerance to oral intake. The impact of NSAIDs was explored using Cox regression analyses, including the results of a c…

Safety of hospital discharge before return of bowel function after elective colorectal surgery

2020

Ileus is common after colorectal surgery and is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications. Identifying features of normal bowel recovery and the appropriateness for hospital discharge is challenging. This study explored the safety of hospital discharge before the return of bowel function.A prospective, multicentre cohort study was undertaken across an international collaborative network. Adult patients undergoing elective colorectal resection between January and April 2018 were included. The main outcome of interest was readmission to hospital within 30 days of surgery. The impact of discharge timing according to the return of bowel function was explored using multiva…

Valutazione della fluenza di neutroni di origine cosmica a livello del suolo

2013

Lo studio degli effetti delle radiazioni neutroniche sul funzionamento dei componenti che fanno parte dei più comuni sistemi elettronici comporta lo studio della fluenza neutronica di origine cosmica a livello del suolo. Infatti la sorgente primaria dei neutroni in atmosfera è principalmente individuabile nell’interazione tra i raggi cosmici di origine solare ed i vari strati dell’atmosfera. Il campo neutronico pertanto non è dunque costante ma dipende fortemente dai cicli di attività solare. In questo lavoro sono presentati i risultati di due cicli di misurazioni del “dose rate” da neutroni nei periodi 21-28 Febbraio e 29 Febbraio-7 Marzo 2012. La strumentazione utilizzata è costituita dal…

Dangerous Effects Induced on Power MOSFETs by Terrestrial Neutrons

2013

This paper investigates the effects that terrestrial neutrons can induce on power MOSFETs when they are biased during their normal working conditions especially in inverters for photovoltaic applications. After a brief review of power MOSFETs failure phenomena caused by neutron irradiation (with emphasis on so called “Single Event Effects” (SEE)), the results of an accelerated test performed with the Am-Be source at the University of Palermo are discussed.
