In 1914, Blondel [1] performed an experiment in which a solenoidal coil was coaxial with a region of static magnetic field, such that the magnetic field on the conductor of the coil was negligible. The conductor of the coil T (D in the right figure) could be wound onto an auxiliary drum T ′ (D1), such that the magnetic flux through the coil T (D) was time dependent. What was the reading of the ...

A method to accurately estimate the thickness of a paramagnetic film conductor from the difference in the complex impedance between a circular solenoid coil equipped with a conductor and a similar one without a conductor has been studied. As for aluminum films of a thickness of 15 to 60 um and a frequency range of 10 to 500 kHz, the discrepancy between the measured values using this method and ...

Satisfactory discrimination between the neutron and gamma components in a mixed neutron-gamma field is one of most important objectives dosimetry. One common techniques for estimating dose fields two peak method. This method has been applied using dosimeters such as LiF:Mg,Ti, but present work, 6LiF:Mg,Cu,P dosimeter used, whose thermoluminescence sensitivity much higher than LiF:Mg,Ti dosimete...

introduction: in radiotherapy, methods of treatment planning are becoming increasingly more complicated. this requires verification of the doses delivered to increasingly smaller and more precise regions. radiotherapy techniques are continuously employing smaller and smaller field sizes to deliver tighter radiation doses with higher therapeutic ratios, generating interest among researchers to p...

background: radon, thoron and their progenies are the most important contributions to human exposure from natural sources. radon exists in soil gas, building materials, indoor atmosphere etc. among all the natural sources of radiation dose to human beings, inhalation of radon contributes a lot. the work presented here emphasizes the long term measurements of radon, thoron and their progeny conc...

Riata defibrillator leads were recalled due to a high failure rate. This study measured the incidence of externalized conductor (EC) and electrical dysfunction (ED) and sought to determine the predictors of ED with Riata defibrillator leads. We enrolled patients who received Riata® or Riata® ST silicone defibrillator leads at our center between January 2003 and December 2010. The presence of EC...

This work intend to identify and follow up quality control parameters to improve thermoluminescence dosemeter (TLD) system used for personal dosimetry in ionizing radiation metrology laboratory (IRML). Characterization of personal dosimetry system has presented in terms of the stability of reader calibration factors, linearity of response for Cs as reference radiation source, energy and angular...

Various methodologies using a wide range of measurement systems have been employed previously in order to determine the amount of UV that could be incident upon various aquatic organisms in a number of different aquatic locales. Broadband meters and spectroradiometers have been employed extensively to take underwater measurements. However, these measurement campaigns are limited by the fact tha...

Introduction: Three physical conditions caused an external beam designated as a small field. The first is the loss of lateral charged particle equilibrium. The second is the effect of collimators on the primary photon source occlusion. The third condition is the size of the detector which is large compared to the field size. The most obvious perturbation effects in last condit...
