Soft X-ray and Low Energy Electron-Induced Damage to DNA under N<sub>2</sub> and O<sub>2</sub> Atmospheres
Bibliographic record
Abstract
DNA damage induced by low energy electrons (LEEs) and soft X-rays is measured under dry nitrogen and oxygen at atmospheric pressure and temperature. Five-monolayer plasmid DNA films deposited on tantalum and glass substrates are exposed to Al K(α) X-rays of 1.5 keV in the two different environments. From the damage yields for DNA, G values are extracted for X-rays and LEEs. The G values for LEEs are 3.5 and 3.4 higher than those for X-ray photons under N(2) and O(2) atmospheres, respectively. Because most of the measured damage is in the form of single strand breaks (SSB), this result indicates a much higher effectiveness for LEEs relative to X-rays in causing SSB in both environments. The results indicate that the oxygen fixation mechanism, which is highly effective in increasing radiobiological effectiveness, under aerobic conditions, is operative on the type of damage created at the early stage of DNA radiolysis by LEEs.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
