Rapid population growth resulting in industrial proliferation and urbanization has led to the rapid increase pollution of environment. Paint industries urban areas mostly channel their wastewater into streams on land, which results receiving This study aims determine impact effluent discharges from paint soils’ physicochemical properties clean-up polluted soil through monitored natural attenuat...

Background: In this study, a method for linear attenuation coefficient calculation was introduced.Methods: Linear attenuation coefficient was calculated with a new method that base on the physics of interaction of photon with matter, mathematical calculation and x-ray spectrum consideration. The calculation was done for Cerrobend as a common radiotherapy modifier and Mercury.Results: The values...

introduction: the main goal of spect imaging is to determine activity distribution inside the organs of the body. however, due to photon attenuation, it is almost impossible to do a quantitative study. in this paper, we suggest a mathematical relationship between activity distribution and its corresponding projections using a transfer matrix. monte carlo simulation was used to find a precise tr...

stress waves contain useful information about the properties of porous materials; they can be recovered through different non-destructive testing methods such as crosswell, vertical seismic profile, borehole logging as well as sonic tests. in all these methods, it is crucial to assess the effects of frequency on wave attributes including velocity and intrinsic attenuation. the dependency of per...

introduction: photon attenuation in tissues is the primary physical degrading factor limiting both visual qualitative interpretation and quantitative analysis capabilities of reconstructed single photon emission computed tomography (spect) images. the aim of present study was to investigate the effect of attenuation correction on the detection of activation foci following statistical analysis w...

Natural attenuation (NA) processes represent a valuable option in groundwater remediation. At heavily 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA) contaminated site, Compound-Specific Isotope Analysis (CSIA) combination with Biological Molecular Tools (BMTs) were implemented as rigorous characterization approach to evaluate the occurrence of Attenuation proximity source area. By use microcosm experiments, pote...

objective(s): in spect, the sinogram contains scatter and lack of attenuated counts that degrade the reconstructed image quality and quantity. many techniques for attenuation and scatter correction have been proposed. an acceptable method of correction is to incorporate effects into an iterative statistical reconstruction. here, we propose new maximum likelihood expectation maximization (mlem) ...
