Particle-size dependent distribution of thorium and uranium isotopes in soil

The study of particle size distribution of calcium carbonate and its effects on some soil properties in khuzestan province

ABSTRACT-This experiment was carried out to study particle size distribution (PSD) of carbonates in soils and its effect on some calcareous soil properties in Khuzestan Province, Iran. Soil samples (n=72) were collected from different regions. To evaluate the effect of carbonates on water contents at pressure head of -1500kpa and PSD of soil samples, these properties were determined before and ...

Third minima in thorium and uranium isotopes in the self-consistent theory

Plutonium, protactinium, uranium and thorium isotopes determination in environmental samples by SF ICP-MS

Alpha spectrometry is the most commonly used analytical tool for the determination of Pu, Am, Pa, U and Th long live radionuclides. Thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) and acceleration mass spectrometry (AMS) are also still considered as primary methods for the determination of their isotope ratios. Spectrometers with plasma ion sources now offer another efficient alternative method wit...

investigation of models for describing soil particle size distribution

in the present study, five log-normal models, normal model (n), and two four- parameter models namely gompertz (g) and fredlund (fr) were tested on 71 psd data from 10 soil textural classes. the jaky (j) and fr models had the smallest and largest r2 values for all of the soils, respectively. the results of comparing the n and simple log-normal (sl) models showed that the accuracy of the n model...
