Nuclear analytical techniques and applications to materials processing

This paper will present the application of Rutherford backscattering spectrometry to thin film steochiometry determination and application to optimization of the film process elaboration in the case of dielectric films (Ge,Pb,O) and ionic conductors films (Na,Al,O). After we shall present the application of particles induced gamma emisson (PIGE) for the characterization of ternary compounds @,S...

Hybrid Phantom Applications to Nuclear Medicine

Annually, many people are irradiated for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Assessment of radiation dose and its related risks to patients are important issues in radiation protection dosimetry. The complex mathematical calculations of the absorbed and effective doses are now done with computers. The calculations are performed with the help of anthropomorphic computational models of human bod...

Entometabolomics: applications of modern analytical techniques to insect studies

Metabolomic analyses can reveal associations between an organism's metabolome and further aspects of its phenotypic state, an attractive prospect for many life-sciences researchers. The metabolomic approach has been employed in some, but not many, insect study systems, starting in 1990 with the evaluation of the metabolic effects of parasitism on moth larvae. Metabolomics has now been applied t...

Novel Techniques for Data Warehousing and Online Analytical Processing in Emerging Applications

A data warehouse is a collection of data for supporting of decision making process. Data cubes and on-line analytical processing(OLAP) have become very popular techniques to help users analyze data in a warehouse. Even though previous studies on a data warehouse and data cube have been proposed and developed, as new applications emerging, there are still technical challenges which have not been...
