Gamma-Ray Attenuation to Evaluate Soil Porosity: An Analysis of Methods
Soil porosity (ϕ) is of a great deal for environmental studies due to the fact that water infiltrates and suffers redistribution in the soil pore space. Many physical and biochemical processes related to environmental quality occur in the soil porous system. Representative determinations of ϕ are necessary due to the importance of this physical property in several fields of natural sciences. In...
متن کاملAlternative 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 کاملApplication of FLUKA code to gamma-ray attenuation, energy deposition and dose calculations
Background: In radiation therapy, water is the phantom material of choice, both for reference and for relative dosimetry measurements. Solid phantoms, however, are more useful for routine measurements because they tend to be more robust and easier to set up than water phantoms. Materials and Methods: FLUKA input data cards have been arranged in sequential order. A simple cylindrical geometry wi...
متن کاملProximal Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy to Predict Soil Properties Using Windows and Full-Spectrum Analysis Methods
Fine-scale spatial information on soil properties is needed to successfully implement precision agriculture. Proximal gamma-ray spectroscopy has recently emerged as a promising tool to collect fine-scale soil information. The objective of this study was to evaluate a proximal gamma-ray spectrometer to predict several soil properties using energy-windows and full-spectrum analysis methods in two...
