exposure buildup factors have been calculated by monte carlo method for point isotropic gamma ray sources, penetrating a two-layer spherical shield of water surrounded by lead, and the effect of bremsstrahlung radiation on buildup factors has, in particular, been investigated, the results of which are in good agreement with previous works. the buildup factors were then calculated for various co...

A new method of the perturbed angular gamma-gamma-correlation (PAC) measurements was developed using one HPGe detector only (1-PAC). For quantifying the perturbation factor, the ratio R gamma 1 + gamma 2 of the summing peak composed of two cascade gamma-rays (the perturbation-affected parameter) to the summing peak composed of one gamma-ray and one X-ray (the perturbation non-affected parameter...

hyssopus of­ficinalis l. is one of the most important medicinal plants. medicinal herbs are contaminated by microorganisms. conventional methods for reducing of microbial loads such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and also use of steam are hazardous and instead, non-thermal process such as microwave and gamma radiation are being used widely in order to eliminate the microbial contaminations ...

We use the cannonball (CB) model of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) to predict the spectral and temporal behaviour of their radio afterglows (AGs). A single simple expression describes the AGs at all times and frequencies; its high-frequency limit reproduces the successful CB model predictions for optical and X-ray AGs. We analyze all of the observed radio AGs of GRBs with known redshifts, including th...

Department of Molecular Medicine, University of Rome “La Sapienza”, Rome, Italy We report the development of a mathematical model, based on the estimation theory, for the performance analysis of different gamma-ray interaction position estimation methods applied to gamma cameras based on monolithic scintillators. The gamma camera performance is expressed in terms of bias and spatial resolution....

introduction genetic evaluation and estimation of breeding value are one of the most fundamental elements of breeding programmes for genetic improvement. recently, genomic selection has become an efficient method to approach this aim. the accuracy of estimated genomic breeding value is the most important factor in genomic selection. different studies have been performed addressing the factors a...
