Characteristics of lead glass for radiation protection purposes: A Monte Carlo study

Background: Lead glass has a wide variety of applications in radiation protection. This study aims to investigate some characteristics of lead glass such as the γ-ray energy-dependent mass and linear attenuation coefficients, the half-value layer thickness, and the absorbed dose distribution for specific energy. Materials and Methods: The attenuation parameters of different lead glass types aga...

Europe ’ s banking union – glass half full or glass half empty ?

Earlier this year, European authorities agreed on the second pillar of the banking union, a single resolution mechanism, to come into effect in 2016. After the ECB taking over responsibility for bank supervision (directly for the largest, indirectly for all banks) in the Eurozone, centralizing resolution as complement for centralized supervision has been an important next step.

Rail Damage Potentials of Sloshing Cargo

In this paper a two-degree-of-freedom model representing the sprung mass and the sloshing cargo in a vehicle is proposed to study the dynamic interaction of a sloshing cargo and the carrying vehicle, to simulate the dynamic wheel forces on the rails as a result of lateral perturbations derived from turnings along the railway path and the resultant cargo sloshing. The use of the Fourth- and T...
