Conventional gloves partially insulate against heat transfer from a hot external environment. They also prevent metabolic generated by the human body escaping. Thus, are source of buildup and stress in workers. Heat can lead to hyperthermia. Described herein is glove that cools using carbon nanotube (CNT) fabric micro-liner forced convection fan. A cold sink assumed be located cool air. This ca...

Abstract A flexible, fully organic detector for proton beams is presented here. The operates in the indirect mode and composed of a polysiloxane-based scintillating layer coupled to an phototransistor, that assessed flexibility low-voltage operation ( V = −1 V), with limit detection 0.026 Gy min . We present kinetic model able precisely reproduce dynamic response device under irradiation provid...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate dependence of PAGAT polymer gel dosimeter 1/T2 on different electron and photon energies for a standard clinically used Co therapy unit and an electa linear accelerator.Using MRI, the formulation to give the maximum change in the transverse relaxation rate R2(1/T2) was determined to be 4.5% N,N'-methylen-bis-acrylamide(bis), 4.5% acrylamid(AA), 5% gelat...

In the European Community Respiratory Health Study (ECRHS), airway responsiveness to methacholine was determined using the Mefar dosimeter protocol. Elsewhere, the 2-min tidal breathing method has become the preferred standardized method. The relationship between measurements of responsiveness by these two methods is not well established. This study measured airway responsiveness to methacholin...

Monte Carlo water-equivalence study of two PRESAGE® formulations for proton beam dosimetry T Gorjiara, Z Kuncic, J Adamovics and C Baldock 2013 J. Phys.: Conf. Ser. 444 012090 PRESAGE® is a radiochromic solid dosimeter which shows promising potential for 3D proton beam dosimetry. Since an idea dosimeter should be water-equivalent, total depth dose distributions in two PRESAGE® formulations irra...

Spectrophotometric measurements of the Fricke–gelatin–xylenol orange (FGX) gel dosimeter demonstrated reproducible linear dose response up to 25Gy. However, oxidation processes continue post-irradiation, affecting the response of this dosimetry system. Additional oxygenation during preparation increases the sensitivity of the gel but does not improve the auto-oxidation stability of the dosimete...
