An improved prism energy analyzer for neutrons

Energy response for high-energy neutrons of multi-functional

We have developed a small, light, and multi-functional electronic personal dosimeter (EPD) using four semiconductor radiation detectors for dose monitoring of workers at nuclear power plants and high-energy accelerator facilities. This dosimeter is about 103 x 55 x 15 mm in size and approximately 110 g in weight, and capable of measuring gamma-ray and neutron doses in Hp(10), and beta-ray dose ...

Abbott prism: a multichannel heterogeneous chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer.

We describe a multichannel heterogeneous immunoassay analyzer in which a sample is split between disposable reaction trays in a group of linear tracks. The system's pipettor uses noninvasive sensing of the sample volume and disposable pipet tips. Each assay track has (a) a conveyor belt for moving reaction trays to predetermined functional stations, (b) temperature-controlled tunnels, (c) nonco...

An Improved Algorithm for Network Reliability Evaluation

Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) is a data structure proved to be compact in representation and efficient in manipulation of Boolean formulas. Using Binary decision diagram in network reliability analysis has already been investigated by some researchers. In this paper we show how an exact algorithm for network reliability can be improved and implemented efficiently by using CUDD - Colorado Univer...

Neutrons for rafts, rafts for neutrons.

The determination of the structure of membrane rafts is a challenging issue in biology. The selection of membrane components both in the longitudinal and transverse directions plays a major role as it determines the creation of stable or tunable platforms that host interactions with components of the outer environment. We focus here on the possibility to apply neutron scattering to the study of...
