Conceptual Design and Simulation of Alpha-Beta Detector for Surface Contamination Measurements
The radioactive contamination measurement is essential in nuclear facilities. Monitoring of low level alpha and beta contamination is possible using light detectors high efficiency. Due to the fact that many detectors canchr('39')t simultaneously discriminate alpha, beta and gamma rays; among existing methods, phoswich detectors would be appropriate option to measure different radioactive conta...
متن کاملSensitivity of Soil Respiration to Variability in Soil Moisture and Temperature in a Humid Tropical Forest
Precipitation and temperature are important drivers of soil respiration. The role of moisture and temperature are generally explored at seasonal or inter-annual timescales; however, significant variability also occurs on hourly to daily time-scales. We used small (1.54 m(2)), throughfall exclusion shelters to evaluate the role soil moisture and temperature as temporal controls on soil CO2 efflu...
متن کاملThe sensitivity of soil respiration to soil temperature, moisture, and carbon supply at the global scale.
Soil respiration (Rs) is a major pathway by which fixed carbon in the biosphere is returned to the atmosphere, yet there are limits to our ability to predict respiration rates using environmental drivers at the global scale. While temperature, moisture, carbon supply, and other site characteristics are known to regulate soil respiration rates at plot scales within certain biomes, quantitative f...
متن کاملEffects of Altitude and Soil Properties on Alpha and Beta Diversity in Plour Rangelands of Mazandaran
Biodiversity is one of the important aspects of natursal systems which supports ecosystem functions. Therefore, the preservation of biodiversity is necessary for human well-being. The curreny study aimed to investigate changes of alpha and beta diversity and its components along the elevation gradient of five classes and to evaluate the effects of physical and chemical characteristics of soil o...
متن کاملUse of a bonding agent to reduce sealant sensitivity to moisture contamination: an in vitro study.
Moisture contamination of etched enamel during application of sealant is the most frequently cited reason for sealant failure. In preliminary studies, a dentin bonding agent (Scotchbond Dual Cure, 3M, St. Paul, MN) has been shown to bond adequately to etched enamel after salivary contamination. This study investigated bond strength in vitro, when a bonding agent was used beneath sealants under ...
