Alternative soil particle-size analysis by gamma-ray attenuation
In 1992 a new method of soil particle-size analysis was introduced, which coupled sedimentation to gamma-ray attenuation. The theoretical possibility of an alternative for this method is here presented, which includes the necessity of sieving soil samples, but simpli®es the gamma-ray measurements. Advantages and disadvantages of this alternative are discussed. # 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All r...
متن کاملGamma Ray Astronomy: Implications for Fundamental Physics
Gamma Ray Astronomy studies cosmic accelerators through their electromagnetic radiation in the energy range between ∼100 MeV and ∼100 TeV. The present most sensitive observations in this energy band are performed, from space, by the Large Area Telescope onboard the Fermi satellite and, from Earth, by the Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes MAGIC, H.E.S.S. and VERITAS. These instruments have revolu...
متن کاملNumerical Simulations of Laboratory Experiments for Determining the Post-yielding Mechanical Parameters of Soil and Rock
ABSTRACT: The mechanical parameters of constitutive equations for soil and rock can be determined by laboratory experiments in which a cylindrical specimen is commonly tested under uniaxial and triaxial compressive conditions. The distribution of stress in the specimen during the tests must be kept uniform and homogeneous. In this paper, numerical simulations are carried out to determine the di...
متن کاملTransforming Computer Engineering Laboratory Courses for Distance Learning and Collaboration*
Distance learning extends classroom access to students who are not physically present in the classroom. There are additional challenges when distance learning is applied in a laboratory environment. These challenges come from two broad categories: the ways in which students collaborate/communicate and the ways to virtualize the devices they use. In this investigation, a real-time collaborative ...
متن کاملProton and Ion Radiography for High Energy Density Physics Experiments
High Energy Density (HED) experiments at the HHT experimental site of the GSI Plasma Physics Group employ intense, energetic uranium beams in order to study new regimes of the equation of state (EOS) of matter under extreme conditions. A key parameter to be determined in these experiments is the density distribution in the irradiated and heated target. Determining the spatial and density distri...
