background: the poly-allyl diglycol carbonate (padc) detector is of particular interest for development of a fast neutron dosimeter. fast neutrons interact with the constituents of the cr-39 detector and produce h, c and o recoils, as well as (n, α) reaction. these neutron- induced charged particles contribute towards the response of cr-39 detectors. material and methods: electrochemical etchin...

Heat release from absorption storage heat pump by means of water vapor into aqueous sodium hydroxide is limited uptake kinetics affecting temperature gain, as well power- and energy density the method. Earlier studies pinpoint that natural diffusion alone not sufficient to reach higher rate, surface bulk exchange has be enforced. In this paper, different technical solutions problem for applicat...

The structure of liquid N-methylformamide (NMF) has been investigated using synchrotron radiation at 77 and 95 keV. The use of high energy photons has several advantages, in this case especially the large accessible momentum transfer range, the low absorption and the direct comparability with neutron diffraction. The range of momentum transfer covered is 0.6 Å < Q <24.0 Å. Neutron diffraction d...

Data sets collected by the Mars Odyssey Neutron Spectrometer contain artifacts from spatial blurring and noise, which are limiting factors in the interpretation of surface physical properties. The spatial response of the spectrometer is about 10 degrees (full width half maximum) of arc length, making comparisons to and synthesis with higher resolution optical data sets and geological maps chall...
