the main goal of interpretation of potential fields (gravity and magnetic) data is determination of the buried source parameters including the depth, horizontal position, the structural index and the physical properties, which is magnetic susceptibility in the magnetic cases and density for gravity fields. for a large number of data it is so expensive modelling the data by using the inversion a...

background: in this study, quantitative 32p bremsstrahlung planar and spect imaging and consequent dose assessment were carried out as a comprehensive phantom study to define an appropriate method for accurate dosimetry in clinical practice. materials and methods: ct, planar and spect bremsstrahlung images of jaszczak phantom containing a known activity of 32p were acquired. in addition, phanto...

earthworms are an important part of food chain in soil ecosystem. in polluted soils, heavy metals are consumed by earthworms and transferred to other organisms through food chain, resulting in many adverse health impacts. due to the benefits of earthworms for soil fertility, it is important to assess the effects of soil pollution on population, biomass and functions of earthworms. to determine ...

introduction rhodium metal is known for its stability in corrosive environments, physical beauty, and its unique properties. rhodium is now widely used for alloying platinum in thermocouples, crucibles, evaporating dishes, weighing boats windings for high-temperature furnaces. it has been applied as a coating material because of the hardness and luster of its surface. rhodium is present at abou...

this research was conducted to evaluate the effects of synthetic methionine replacement with herbal methionine (hm) on performance, blood biochemical parameters and carcass characteristics in broiler chicken. a total of 280 8-old ross 308 male chicken were randomly assigned to 7 dietary treatments: control, in which 100% methionine requirement was supplied form dl-methionine, and in treatments ...

thermoluminescence (tl) dating was established in oxford to fulfil the demand for dating ceramics and other heated man made products (aitken, 1985).  it determines the time elapsed since the mineral grains have been heated. following the establishment of tl dating method, it was used to date fired materials such as pottery, flint and etc. optically stimulated luminescence (osl) determines the t...
