background: ionizing radiation is present in all environment of the earth’s surface, beneath the earth and in the atmosphere. human beings are exposed to external radiation from their surroundings naturally and also to internal radiation from food, water and air they consume. then, it is important to measure and develop knowledge about radiation. objective: this study is designed to evaluate th...

an analysis is carried out to investigate the effects of variable chemical reaction, thermophoresis, temperaturedependent viscosity and thermal radiation on an unsteady mhd free convective heat and mass transfer flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting fluid past an impulsively started infinite inclined porous plate by taking into account the viscous dissipation effects. the g...

background: radiology staff needs to justify the radiation exposures in order to protect themselves and others from radiation risks. the aims of this study were to examine the awareness level of radiation dose and protection amongst radiographers and to compare their performance between major jordanian hospitals. materials and methods: a cross-sectional survey was conducted in 4 major jordanian...

1 ABSTRACT The atmospheric General Circulation Model of the Laboratoire de M et eorologie Dynamique (LMD) is coupled to a slab ocean model and is used to investigate the climatic impact of a CO 2 doubling. Two versions of the model are used with two diierent representations of the cloud-radiation interaction. Both of them contain a prognostic equation for the cloud liquid water content, but the...

We review recent pilot simulations that incorporate feedback from ionising radiation in SPH calculations of star forming clouds. In the case that the ionising radiation source is located within the star forming cloud, the inhomogeneity of the cloud significantly modifies the way that feedback operates compared with spherically symmetric cloud models. Inflow/outflow behaviour develops, combining...

Clouds and their associated shadows are major obstacles to most land surface remote sensing applications. Meanwhile, solar-cloud-satellite geometry (SCSG) makes the effect of clouds and shadows on derived land surface biophysical parameters more complicated. However, in most existing studies, the SCSG effect has been frequently neglected although it is pointed out by many works that SCSG effect...
