background: the human body contains of different tissues and cavities with different physical and radiological properties. most important among these are tissues and cavities that are radiologically different from water, including lungs, sinuses and bones. gel dosimetry provides a unique feature to display dose distributions occurring in clinical radiation therapy in three dimensions. materials...

A practical exercise for developing a simple cost-effective solar ultraviolet radiation dosimeter is presented for use by middle school science students. Specifically, this exercise investigates a series of experiments utilising the historical blue print reaction, combining ammonium iron citrate and potassium hexacyanoferrate to develop an ultraviolet sensitive solution. The activity is intende...

an h-magic labeling in a h-decomposable graph g is a bijection f : v (g) ∪ e(g) → {1, 2, ..., p + q} such that for every copy h in the decomposition, σνεv(h) f(v) +  σeεe(h) f(e) is constant. f is said to be h-e-super magic if f(e(g)) = {1, 2, · · · , q}. a family of subgraphs h1,h2, · · · ,hh of g is a mixed cycle-decomposition of g if every subgraph hi is isomorphic to some cycle ck, for k ≥ ...

Fricke solution has a wide range of applications as radiation detector and dosimetry. It is particularly appreciated in terms of relevant comparative advantages, like tissue-equivalence when prepared in aqueous media like gel matrix, continuous mapping capability, independence of dose rate and incident direction, as well as linear dose response. This work presents the development and characteri...

Polymer gel dosimeters have been proven useful for dose evaluation in radiotherapy treatments. Previous studies have demonstrated that using a polymer gel dosimeter requires a 24 h reaction time to stabilize and further evaluate the measured dose distribution in two-dimensional dosimetry. In this study, the short-term stability within 24 h and feasibility of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) polyme...

Micelle gel is a radiochromic hydrogel with the potential to be used as a three dimensional (3D) radiation dosimeter. Since an ideal dosimeter should present water equivalent properties, in this study the water equivalence of two formulations of micelle gel has been investigated by calculating electron density, effective atomic number, fractional interaction probabilities, mass attenuation coef...
