Since the installation of TRIGA MARK II reactors in National Centre for Nuclear Energy, Science and Technology (CNESTEN), Neutron Activation Data Analysis software (NADA) neutron activation analysis (NAA) based on relative method was first used; Over years, laboratory has been seeking to develop other softwares k0-INAA standardization namely K0-IAEA k0 Windows. In this paper we will focus compa...

The initial characteristics of Romanian fly ash from the CET II Holboca power plant show feasibility its application for production a new material with applicability in environmental decontamination. obtained was characterized using standard techniques: scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), instrumental neutron activation (INAA), diffraction (XRD), Fourier ...

In tropical and subtropical latitudes, woody plants known as mangroves flourish in slimy, anaerobic soils on the boundary between land sea. They can withstand extreme weather conditions like high temperatures, unreliable tides, strong winds, salt. The objective of this study was to determine concentration nine trace elements (Hf, Ga, Ba, V, Cs, Sc, Sb, Ta, Co) sediment mangrove forest along wes...

Studies have shown that there is a potential relationship between the levels of trace elements in cerebral tissues and neurological disorders. However, there are few publications available on the elemental composition of these tissues as well as for different regions of the brain. The aim of this study was to investigate trace element differences in various regions of the human brain from an el...

Trikatu, an Ayurvedic formulation of three dried powder spices, ginger, black pepper and pipali in equal proportion is widely used to promote digestion, assimilation and bioavailibility of food. It works synergistically, and hence, is more effective than an equal amount of any of its three ingredients taken separately. Five different brands and its three constituents were analyzed for 31 elemen...

Analyses of coarse-grained refractory inclusions typically do not have the solar CaO/Al2O3 ratio, probably reflecting nonrepresentative sampling of them in the laboratory. Many previous studies, especially those done by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA), were based on very small amounts of material removed from those restricted portions of inclusions that happened to be exposed on...

Introduction Fluorine (F) is one of several trace elements receiving much attention owing to its possible harmful effects on health and environment. There are many methods used as the standard method of analysis of total F in soil. These include: ion selective electrode (ISE); X–ray fluorescence (XRF); Ion chromatography; Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA); and Atomic and molecular...
