Mesonorms of granitic rock analyses
SINCE Cross, Iddings, Pirsson, and Washington 09o3) first published their system of deriving normative minerals from chemical analyses, the CIPW norm has been successfully used to identify, compare, and classify trends in igneous rocks with similar or differing mineral compositions. The norm has been used for metamorphic rocks and rocks of somewhat uncertain mode of origin (Bowes, ~967). Variou...
متن کاملSimple soil mass balance approach to interpret the distribution of global terrestrial gamma ray dose rates in relation to geology.
A recent literature survey on natural gamma rays has yielded data on the dose rate levels above soils and rocks in the world, classified by their associated bedrock types. For comparison, the data in the Japanese Islands were also collected. The compiled results indicated a strong linear correlation between the soil and the rock dose rates. A soil-mass balance model was used to obtain the quant...
متن کاملGamma-ray localization of terrestrial gamma-ray flashes.
Terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) are very short bursts of high-energy photons and electrons originating in Earth's atmosphere. We present here a localization study of TGFs carried out at gamma-ray energies above 20 MeV based on an innovative event selection method. We use the AGILE satellite Silicon Tracker data that for the first time have been correlated with TGFs detected by the AGILE Mi...
متن کاملComparison of Indoor and Outdoor Dose Rates from Environmental Gamma Radiation in Kurdistan Province
Background & Aims: Studying about background radiation is important because human beings are continuously exposed to these radiations which leave energy in tissues and the transferred energy leads to undesirable biologic effects. The level of background radiation differs in indoor and outdoor places. Since, people spend more time indoors, in this research environmental gamma dose rate for indoo...
متن کاملAssessment of Outdoor Gamma Radiation Dose Rates in 49 Cities of Guilan Province, IRAN
Introduction Guilan is one of the provinces in North of Iran, with population of 2,480,874 and a total area of 14,042 square kilometers. This study assesses the outdoor natural gamma dose rates in the air of 49 cities in Guilan and calculates corresponding average annual effective dose. Materials and Methods A total of 260 different sample points measurements were carried out. The results inc...
