human body consists of some tissues among which bone is one of the important living and growing tissue . in this research, energy absorption buildup factor (eabf) values of 27 types of bone have been computed for photon energy 0.03 to 1.5 mev up to 40 mean free path (40mfp) penetration depths. the inner bone tissue, spongiosa and male sternum had the largest values of eabf in low photon energie...

background: the potential hazards of exposure to radiation from radon have been of great concern worldwide, as it is associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. radon (222rn) and its progeny are the main sources of radioactivity in the environment. the half-life of 222rn (3.82 days) is long enough for it to diffuse into and build up in homes. 220rn or thoron from the 232th series, and 219...

the present study compared simple thermal indices and the indices derived from energy budget models in the northwest of iran. for this purpose, the air temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, cloud, cover and wind speed of 13 meteorological stations in the northwest of iran during the  the period of 1986 to 2007 were selected for comparison. the results which were extracted using biokl...

In astrophysical flows, radiation often contains a large fraction of the energy density, momentum density, and stress (i.e., pressure) in the radiating fluid. Furthermore, radiative transfer is usually the most effective energy-exchange mechanism within the fluid. To describe the behavior of such flows we need conservation laws that account accurately for both the material and the radiative con...

In the field of laser generated high energy density physics, hydrodynamics is considered to be a very popular approach of continuum description of plasma. Radiation, as another physical phenomenon, takes its significant part in energy transport [1] and [2]. This multiphysics context can be found e.g. in Tokamaks and Inertial Confinement Fusion systems and a great effort has been engaged to simu...

With the rapid development of electronic technologies, anxiety regarding the potential health hazards induced by microwave radiation (MW) has been growing in recent years. The brain is one of the most sensitive target organs for microwave radiation, where mitochondrial injury occurs earlier and more severely than in other organs. Energy metabolism disorders do play an important role during the ...

In this research, a pilot study and analysis of an innovative multi-channel photovoltaic/thermal (MCPV/T) system in a geographic location (35° 44' 35'' N, 50° 57' 25'' E) has been carried out. This system consists of integrating a photovoltaic panel and two PV/T heat-sink converters. The total electrical, exergy and energy efficiencies of the system at air flow rate of 0.005 kg/s and radiation ...
