Steel containing 0.03% carbon, 1.35% copper and 0.84% nickel had yield strength in the 540-625 MPa (78-90 Ksi) range depending on thickness, ultimate tensile strength in the 625-690 MPa (90100 Ksi) range, and 25-30% elongation when air cooled after hot rolling. No brittle heat-affected zone was formed during manual or automatic submerged arc welding without pre-heating or postheating. The fract...

background: the patterson-parker table was created in 1934 to determine mg-hr required to deliver the prescribed dose to the treatment area. these tables were created using the dosimetric data for 226ra that was determined in air and were utilized for dose calculations around implants with ra-equivalent radionuclides such as 137cs and 192ir. therefore, the differences of the tissue attenuation ...

A small scale, high precision co-ordinate table was developed as part of a project to solve measurement problems originating from microtechnic. Construction with a single reference surface was selected and vacuum preloaded air bearing applied in order to enable smooth motion and eliminate stick slip. Laser interferometers were applied to measure both the displacement and the angular error. The ...

In order to automate sample preparation processes, a precision pattern dispenser was designed to reproducibly dispense radioactive solutions at pre-defined positions. It is composed of an automatic liquid sample handling unit coupled to an XYZ table. Qualification tests were conducted to evaluate the performance of the instrument and to assess the compliance with the requirements, in particular...

In this study contaminant distribution in an operating room is evaluated experimentally to be able compare different ventilation concepts afterwards. Low-turbulent unidirectional (LAF) used study. Heated dummies are positioned around the table, which release tracer particles that surrogate airborne germs and measured critical areas for bacteria spread. Measurement results compared terms of degr...

Suggest removing from conclusions: “Our findings suggest that air pollution from road traffic in London, which is dominated by diesel exhaust emissions, is adversely affecting fetal growth. These results may be driven by the fine particulate matter (PM2.5 traffic-exhaust) component rather than the gaseous pollutants NO2 and NOX.” While I do not disagree that diesel does dominate road traffic ai...

Air-fuel ratio control in gasoline engines has so far relied upon the fact that the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio of gasoline is an identified constant, largely thanks to its consistent chemical composition. In the case of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), chemical composition is subject to high variability due to geological and economic factors, amongst others. The implication of this variability...
