Measuring the Skyshine from Linear accelerator in Rajaee Oncology Hospital
Introduction: Radiation therapy is using the ionizing radiation to eliminate or minimize cancerous tissues. This method has been very much considered in recent years. Because of the high energy of the photons produced by the accelerator, it is necessary to protect the walls, roof and the floor of the treatment rooms using the concrete and leaden materials. One of these harmful ...
متن کاملDC Microgrid Protection in the Presence of the Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Systems
In recent years, most of the loads and distributed generations are connected to the AC grid through the power electronic converters. Using the DC grid beside the AC grid can reduce the conversion stages and power losses. Protection of the DC grids is a challenging issue because of the new structures of DC grids and fast transients of the DC faults. This paper studies the protection of the low v...

In this research, the high-energy planetary mill was employed to produce nanocrystalline Ti-50Al(γ)(at%) powders. Initial powders were mechanically alloyed in 99.9999% and 90% purities of Argon and also Air atmosphere with alloying times up to 50h. The effect of impurity of Argon atmosphere on the microstructure and the rate of phase transformation of Ti-50Al were investigated during mechanical...
متن کاملResilience Enhancement of Active Distribution Networks Via Mobile Energy Storage Systems and Protection Coordination Consideration
Owing to the portability and flexibility of mobile energy storage systems (MESSs), they seem to be a promising solution to improve the resilience of the distribution system (DS). So, this paper presents a rolling optimization mechanism for dispatching MESSs and other resources in microgrids in case of a natural disaster occurrence. The proposed mechanism aims to minimize the total system cost b...
