OPTIMUM DETECTOR SPACING FOR REAL-TIME MONITORING OF HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS ON URBAN EXPRESSWAYS

Simulation of a Neutron Detector for Real Time Imaging Applications

Monte Carlo Method is used to simulate a double layer gadolinium-amorphous silicon thermal neutron detector. The detector fabricated in pixel array configuration has various applications including neutron imaging. According to the simulation results, a detector consisting of a gadolinium (Gd) film with thickness of 2-4 ~m, sandwiched properly with two layers of sufficiently thick (-30 ?µm) hydr...

Real-Time Monitoring of Volatile Organic Compounds in Hazardous Sites

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are largely used in many industries as solvents or chemical intermediates. Unfortunately, they include some components, present in the atmosphere, that can represent a risk factor for human health. They are also present as a contaminant or a by-product in many processes, i.e. in combustion gas stacks and groundwater clean-up systems. Benzene, in particular, sho...

Proposed new signal for real-time stress monitoring: Combination of physiological measures

Human stress is a physiological tension that appears when a person responds to mental, emotional, or physical chal-lenges. Detecting human stress and developing methods to manage it, has become an important issue nowadays. Au-tomatic stress detection through physiological signals may be a useful method for solving this problem. In most of the earlier studies, long-term time window was considere...
