Introduction: Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) emergencies need specific hospital preparedness resource availability. Preparing to evaluate manage victims from CBRN exposure events in one aspect of preparedness, is often underestimated. Specific skills capabilities are required these events. Emergency department (ED) staff adequate training provide safe effective care. Met...

Abstract Safe storage of radioactive materials is based on three universal radiation protection principles. Justification, optimization and dose limits are applicable to the risk assessment, acknowledging hazards in each procedure delivery, usage, disposal materials. Failure Modes Effects Analysis method (FMEA) developed for evaluation common practices. In this work FMEA exploited radiological ...

Abstract SEM–EDX and Raman spectroscopy analysis of radioactive compounds is often restricted to dedicated instrumentation, within radiological working areas, manage the hazard risk contamination. Here, we demonstrate application WetSEM® capsules for containment technetium powder materials, enabling routine multimodal characterisation with general user outside a controlled area. The electron tr...

The radiological effects of mined tailings in some locations in Jos Plateau State have been estimated. The samples were collected from 14 different sites. The radio nuclides concentrations in the tailing samples were measured using gamma spectroscopy method. The average values of Ra 226 , Th 232 and K 40 obtained were 762.4Bqkg, 17258.3Bqkg and 5901.4Bqkg respectively. These radioactivity conce...

There are three parts to this talk – related in rather tangential ways. First, I will give a recap of an argument developed in a couple of earlier talks – at IIiX in 2008 and at the SIGIR evaluation workshop in 2009. The gist of the argument is about thinking about IR as a science, and the consequences Appears in the Proceedings of The 2nd International Workshop on Contextual Information Access...

Resumo. Com a rápida evolução dos sistemas computacionais, simulações numéricas baseadas em modelagem computacional têm alcançado soluções cada vez mais realistas. Ainda assim, o processo de simulação é complexo, exigindo grande capacidade computacional e produzindo muitos arquivos auxiliares com os resultados das simulações. Uma grande quantidade de arquivos, como os produzidos durante o proce...

OBJECTIVE Although the L5-S1 has distinct structural features in comparison with other lumbar spine segments, not much is known about adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) at the L5-S1 segment. The aim of study was to compare the incidence and character of ASD of the cephalad and L5-S1 segments after L5 floating lumbar fusion. METHODS From 2005 to 2010, 115 patients who underwent L5 floating lu...

PURPOSE In this report, we evaluated whether radiological technologists' (RTs') awareness of patient safety would improve and what kind of effects would be seen at the department of radiological technology by introducing KYT [K: kiken (hazard), Y: yochi (prediction), T: (training)]. METHODS KYT was carried out by ten RTs based on a KYT sheet for the department of radiological technology. To e...

Al2O3-Y2O3 laminated coating can be applied in fusion reactors to prevent fuel leakage and radiological hazard. However, the residual stress induced by thermal cycles during operation of reactor cause failure coating. In order analyze problem, finite element models coatings with 600 nm total thickness different layout were analyzed. The max principal site is located at sub-top layer. Y2O3 decre...
