Radiation effects of photon irradiation in Ytterbium-doped silica optical fibers are still much less explored despite their importance in space-based application as radiation dosimetry. This study investigates and compares the thermoluminescence glow curve, response, linearity and sensitivity of Ytterbium-doped SiO2 optical fibers with that of TLD-100. Samples are placed in solid phantom and ir...

A new extremity TLD system has been developed and tested that provides for user convenience and automated processing while meeting various accreditation requirements. The design is a result of successful collaboration among organisational entities in different countries and included research centres, users, and the manufacturer. The primary consideration was to meet the needs of the medical mar...

BACKGROUND Treatment-limiting decisions (TLD) for severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) have been sparsely studied. This study determine prevalence, main reason for, categories and timing of TLDs in a Norwegian regional trauma setting. METHODS A retrospective study of a 2-year cohort of 579 sTBI patients admitted to Oslo University Hospital (OUH). Prospectively collected data in the OUH Trauma...

An independent in vivo dose verification procedure for IMRT treatments of head and neck cancers was developed. Results of 177 intracavitary TLD measurements from 10 patients are presented. The study includes data from 10 patients with cancer of the rhinopharynx or the thyroid treated with dynamic IMRT. Dose verification was performed by insertion of a flexible naso-oesophageal tube containing T...

Audiovisual speech perception of children with specific language impairment (SLI) and children with typical language development (TLD) was compared in two experiments using /aCa/ syllables presented in the context of a masking release paradigm. Children had to repeat syllables presented in auditory alone, visual alone (speechreading), audiovisual congruent and incongruent (McGurk) conditions. S...

In this study, the tuned liquid damper (TLD) device was optimized by harmony search (HS) and adaptive algorithms (AHS). Using algorithm, seismic excitations were directed at single ten-story structures, TLD parameters to minimize building movement. To improve design parameters, optimization process repeated adapting factors of algorithm. For purpose, both memory consideration ratio (HMCR) fret ...

Second-order calibration and multivariate spectroscopic-kinetic measurements in the visible region are proposed to improve the Jaffé method for creatinine assay. Analyses performed on synthetic mixtures containing bilirubin, glucose, and albumin confirm that second-order calibration is useful for creatinine determination in human serum. Quantitative determinations of creatinine with the paralle...

This paper studies the DNS cache effects that occur on query distribution at the CN top-level domain (TLD) server. We first filter out the malformed DNS queries to purify the log data pollution according to six categories. A model for DNS resolution, more specifically DNS caching, is presented. We demonstrate the presence and magnitude of DNS cache effects and the cache sharing effects on the r...

In the early years, the routine personal dosimetry at the Nuclear Research CenterNegev was performed by using photographic films. In 1975, the TLD method was introduced. The routine personal dosimetry was performed by using the LiF:Mg, Ti phosphors (G-1 cards), and employing an automatic Harshaw 2271 reader. The heating of the phosphor was performed by a hot finger, and the integral light outpu...

Öz Amaç: Bu çalışmada meme kanseri nedeniyle radyoterapi alan gerçek hastayı taklit eden bir fantom üzerinde farklı organlarda absorbe edilen doz araştırılmıştır. Farklı organlardaki ortalama için tedavi planlama sistemi (TPS) ve termolüminesans dozimetre (TLD) ölçümleri karşılaştırılmıştır. Gereç Yöntemler: Alderson kadın rando sol dokusu hedef hacmi olarak seçildi. Varian DHX cihazında teknik...
