Introduction: Many study shown the effectiveness dose enhancement with gold nanoparticles (GNPs), especially with low-energy x-rays. Recently, proton beam radiation therapy (PBRT) has attention as a treatment for tumors. The advantage in PBRT, which releases high dose at the controllable Bragg peak position that localized for Au target and the released dose increased in depth....

In this study, an artificial neural network based model for prediction of solar energy potential in Kerman province in Iran has been developed. Meteorological data of 12 cities for period of 17 years (1997–2013) and solar radiation for five cities around and inside Kerman province from the Iranian Meteorological Office data center were used for the training and testing the network. Meteorologic...

the radiation power loss from a magnetically confined plasma in a stellarator has been calculated using neoclassical particle and energy fluxes in an energy balance equation. we could obtain a power loss of about 34% of the total input power by numerical calculation. this fraction of the power loss has been found to be in good agreement with the experimentally measured values of 30-40% for our ...

The vulnerability of water bodies to contamination within the neighbourhood of open mine cast environ cannot be overemphasized. Evidence of radioactive trace elements associated with the target minerals in the Plateau State (Nigeria) showed the extent of this vulnerability. In order to address this challenge, the radioactivity levels of water samples from mine ponds, streams, wells, and borehol...

SIRADs (self-indicating instant radiation alert dosimeters) are designed to measure accident radiation doses. As the energy of radiation is usually unknown in such situations, a detector with a weak energy dependence of its response to dose would be ideal. We have studied the energy dependence of the dose response of SIRADs in the range from 50kVp to 10MV, which corresponds to photon equivalent...
