The normoxic polymer gel dosimeter based on N-isopropyl acrylamide (NiPAM) is a promising full 3D-dosimeter with high spatial resolution and near tissue equivalency. NiPAM gel samples were irradiated to different doses using a linear accelerator. The absorbed dose was evaluated using MRI and statistical significance of the analysed data was calculated. The analysis was carried out using an in-h...

A passive dosimeter designed to measure exposure to hydrogen fluoride was tested under laboratory conditions over the concentration range of 0.56 – 4.47 mg HF/m. The lowest concentration was chosen to be close to the Polish TLV (0.5 mg HF/m). The dosimeter consists of a Whatman No.1 filter paper impregnated with K2HPO4 placed in a polyethylene holder protected by a polyethylene screen. After ex...

The Air Force sponsored flight tests using damage dosimeters, fabricated by The Boeing Company, to measure temperature and structural dynamic strains on B-52, F-15 and C-130 aircraft. The dosimeter measurements help diagnose difficultto-analyze structural conditions, such as acoustics and high cycle fatigue, and support the durability patch design process to repair secondary structure cracks. T...

In this article we describe commissioning and implementation procedures for the Dose Verification System (DVS) with permanently implanted in vivo wireless, telemetric radiation dosimeters for absolute dose measurements. The dosimeter uses a semiconductor device called a metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) to measure radiation dose. A MOSFET is a transistor that is general...

One important factor in the design process and optimization of electrical machines and drives are iron losses in the core. By using new composite materials and low-loss electrical SiFe steels, the losses in the magnetic ux conducting parts of the machine can be reduced signi cantly. However, it is necessary to have accurate but also easy implementable iron loss models to take the loss e ects in...

Measurement of the lateral profile of the dose distribution across a narrow x-ray microbeam requires a dosimeter with a micron resolution. We investigated the use of a MOSFET dosimeter in an "edge-on" orientation with the gate insulating oxide layer parallel to the direction of the beam. We compared results using this technique to Gafchromic film measurements of a 200 micrometer wide planar x-r...

Polycrystalline ammonium dithionate has been examined for its radiation response in the low dose range (<5Gy) using EPR technique. The SO(3)(-) radical ion was detected as a single EPR line with a peak-to-peak derivative width of ca. 0.44mT in irradiated samples and its intensity was found to vary linearly with dose. At equal and moderate settings of microwave power and modulation amplitude amm...

This paper provides an overview of the characteristics of a phenothiazine-mylar dosimeter which can be used as an effective solar UVA exposure assessment tool. This dosimeter is sensitive to UVA wavelengths (315-400 nm); its performance has been characterized in a series of tests such as (a) UVA exposure response (dose-response), (b) temperature stability of the response, (c) impact of long ter...

Abstract Three different dosimetry systems were prepared based on diphenyl thiocarbazone (DTH) dye: polymer films made with, poly(vinyl alcohol), DTH liquid dosimeter and gel dosimeter. All the received several gamma doses. The three analyzing by UV–Vis spectrophotometery before after irradiation. effective dose range in linear part of these is between 1–10 kGy, 0.3–2 50–200 Gy. dosimeters reli...

Quality-control dosimetry is important to the routine operation of a radiation processing facility. For many applications this dosimetry must be traceable to a national primary standard. After irradiation at an industrial facility, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-supplied transfer dosimeters are certified by measurement and dose interpolation from the NIST calibration curv...
