The results of modeling the dehydration drops a concentrated liquid, on example ceramics, with convective-radiation energy supply under conditions direct-flow and counter-current phase motion, as well pulsed counter-flows gas, are presented. A model for single drop is formulated based equations heat conduction source term diffusion moisture, taking into account change in its size due to evapora...

conclusions portable radiological examinations did not expose healthcare providers to high doses of ionizing radiation. nurses’ radiation protection knowledge was limited and hence, they require in-service education programs. results the mean of participants’ radiation protection knowledge was 4.77 ± 1.38. the most prevalent radiation protection behavior of nurses was leaving the intensive care...

Preliminary results using the radioactive isotope of phosphorus (P32) as a tracer atom in Red Mexican beans (2) demonstrate the value of the method and its general application to plant physiological problems. Wherever it is desirable to follow the path or metabolism of single atoms, this procedure will prove extremely valuable. The equipment used for the detection and measurement of the radioph...

Radiation produced by low-voltage discharge in a gas containing deuterium was measured using a Geiger counter located within the apparatus. This radiation was found to consist of energetic particles that were produced only when the voltage was above a critical value. In addition, the emission was very sensitive to the presence of oxygen in the gas. In the presence of the required conditions, em...

After the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear incident in 2011, radiation contamination of the affected area raised public health concerns about internal radiation exposure. Internal radiation exposure screening using a whole body counter (WBC) (Fastscan Model 2251, Canberra Inc, Meriden, CT) has been performed for the affected residents in Soma City, 40 km north of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power pl...

STUK Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority has obtained a new mobile whole-body counter to assess the internal exposure of radiation workers and the exposure of the Finnish public. This unit can also be mobilised in emergency situations. The need for assessing internal radiation doses in emergency situations is evident which has been demonstrated after the accidents in e.g. Brasil and Ukraina....
