We report the functional assessment of tungsten (VI) oxide on gamma-ray attenuation properties 60Sb2O3-(40-x)NaPO3-xWO3 antimony glasses. The elemental mass-fractions and glass-densities each glass sample are specified separately for MCNPX Monte Carlo code. In addition to fundamental gamma absorption properties, Transmission Factors throughout a broad radioisotope energy range were measured. Ac...

In this research, polymers were fabricated through combining polyester, boron oxide (B2O3), and Tellurium (TeO2). B2O3 has good neutron absorption TeO2 is not only highly dense (5.670 g/cm3) but also environment-friendly, compared to PbO, as well being a photon absorber. The radiation protection features for five investigated samples examined utilizing an HPGe detector point sources Am-241, Cs-...

Because of continuous improvements in their underlying technologies, customers perceive frontline robots as social actors with a high level humanness, both appearance and behavior. Advancing from mere theoretical contributions to this study field, article proposes empirically validates the humanness-value-loyalty model (HVL model). This analyzes what extent robots' perceived physical human-like...

Introduction:In the nuclear medicine departments, staff exposure to radiation is inevitable during patient positioning and radiopharmaceutical preparation. There is controversy regarding the use of usual lead aprons with respect to penetrating gamma rays used in nuclear medicine departments as well as production of characteristic lead x-ray from aprons. Methods:</stron...

In this paper, the investigation of structural and radiation shielding characteristics natural bentonite zeolite was presented. XRD (X-ray diffraction) SEM (scanning electron microscopy) were used to examine properties morphologies minerals. The Electron-Photon Interaction Cross Sections 2017 (EPICS2017) library through EpiXS software obtain photon – including mass attenuation coefficients, mea...

Kilovoltage (kV) cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images suffer from a substantial scatter contribution. In this study, Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are used to evaluate the scattered radiation present in projection images. These predicted scatter distributions are also used as a scatter correction technique. Images were acquired using a kV CBCT bench top system. The EGSnrc MC code was used...

Abstract The workers’ continual exposure to nuclear radiation makes it indispensable invent and form lightweight materials as flexible shields. So, in this article, silicone rubber SR inlaid with varying filler ratios of bismuth tungsten oxide Bi 2 (WO 4 ) 3 was produced. Mechanical properties, hardness, tensile strength, modulus, elongation at break, the SR/Bi composites were studied a functio...

The primary aim of this investigation is to synthesize a novel glass system with composition (35+x) PbO-5TeO2-20Bi2O3-(20-x) MgO-20B2O3 (where x=0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 mol%) by melt quenching method. confirmation the amorphous behavior presence various vibration modes stretching have been analyzed using XRD FTIR techniques, respectively. radiation shielding parameters these glasses were reported ...
