Background: This study assessed the clinical usefulness of the solid phantom, which may compensate for the disadvantages of the water phantom, by comparing the radiological doses between the two depending on their depths. Materials and Methods: The experimental equipment used was a linear accelerator for medical use, water phantom, solid phantom, Farmer type ion chamber and electrometer. The di...

the aim of this study is comparison of soil characteristics and biodiversity in plantation of bald cypress and caucasian alder forest stands in kludeh region (mazandaran province). in order to study biodiversity in forest stands and control region, 10 sample plots (releve) were selected and the name and abundance of plant species of the forest floor were recorded. biodiversity of herbal plants ...

This global systematic analysis and review investigate the impacts of previous land use system, climate zone, forest type age on soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), phosphorus (TP) stock, bulk density (BD) pH at layers 0–20, 20–60 60–100 cm, following afforestation. Data came from 91 publications SOC, TN TP stock changes, covering different countries zones. Overall, afforestation si...

Urbanization is a major driver of land use change and can affect the soil organic carbon (SOC) pools. This study aimed to understand urbanization impact on SOC stocks pools at profile scale (0–100 cm). The was studied 0–30 0–100 cm depths in park sealed soils three French cities (Marseille, Nancy, Nantes). Physical fractionation performed gain insight size different (particulate organo-mineral ...

soil salinization is a process in which the accumulation of soluble salts in soil profile can affect soil physical and chemical properties, such as osmotic pressure, permeability and hydraulic conductivity. these, in turn, can seriously impair or completely stop the growth of plants. in this study, four theoretical models for predicting soil leaching contains including series of reservoirs  mod...

A YAG laser was used to emit nanosecond pulses of light at 532 nm at depths from 1185 to 2200 m in Antarctic ice, corresponding to temperatures increasing from 229 to 249 K. From the timing distributions of photons arriving at phototubes at distances up to 100 m and at similar depths, the scattering and absorption coefficients were measured, and the temperature dependence of absorptivity at 532...

soil particle-size distribution (psd) is one of the most important physical attributes due to its great influence on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties. water infiltration rate, land-use change, soil erosion, and biological soil crusts (bscs) may influence psd in a soil. the multifractal measures were useful tools in characterization of psd in soils. the objective of the current...
