Calibration of routine dosimeters in radiation processing: Validation procedure for in-plant calibration

Calibration of alanine dosimeters

calibration and validation of different methods for estimation of daily solar radiation (case study: rasht)

abstract solar radiation (rs) has many applications in most sciences such as agriculture and irrigation however, its measurement has been done in few weather stations of iran. therefore, estimation methods were used. in this study, weather data of rasht station, from 2004 to 2006 were employed for calibration of some equations, and weather data of years 2007 and 2008 were used for evaluating th...

An auto-calibration procedure for empirical solar radiation models

Solar radiation data are an important input for estimating evapotranspiration and modelling crop growth. Direct measurement of solar radiation is now carried out in most European countries, but the network of measuring stations is too sparse for reliable interpolation of measured values. Instead of direct measurements, solar radiation may be estimated from empirical solar radiation models that ...

Calibration and validation of a soil water simulation model (WaSim) for field grown Amaranthus cruentus

A water simulation model (WaSim) to simulate the growth and development of Amaranthus cruentus as well as the components of water balance for a typical sandy-clay-loam soil of Akure has been described. Dry season experiments were carried between January and March of 2005 and 2006. Amaranthus seeds were established on the field and three irrigation water managements were imposed on the crop to d...

Standard calibration of ionization chambers used in radiation therapy dosimetry and evaluation of uncertainties

Background: Absolute dosimetry of external beam radiotherapy is carried out by the use of ionization chambers. These chambers must be calibrated at a standard dosimetry laboratory before any use in clinical dosimetry. The secondary standard dosimetry laboratory of Iran (SSDL) has the duty of calibrating the ionization chambers used in radiotherapy centers in Iran. Materials and Methods...
