Shielding calculations are done for the following scenario: a graphite target is hit by a 1 GeV/u U beam with an intensity of 10 particles per second. The target is a wheel with radius of 22.5 cm and it is subdivided into three rings, each 16 mm wide, with thicknesses of 21.6, 32.4 and 43.2 mm, corresponding to 4, 6, 8 g/cm [3]. For a conservative case the thickest part of the target with a thi...

The uses of nanotechnologies in textiles are strategic and allow to become multifunctional. There is an ever-increasing demand for new functionalities, like flame retardancy, radiation shielding, improved mechanical strength etc., highly specific applications. no industrial supply the above-mentioned functionalities. Keeping view this background, surface treatment becomes one most important met...

Recent terror events such as the Manchester Arena bombing and Brussels Istanbul airport attacks featured improvised explosive devices detonated in crowded internal spaces. A blast wave that propagates presence of obstacles will have fundamentally different properties to those an unimpeded wave. Physical processes reflection, diffraction, superposition multiple fronts result highly complex situa...

Applying shielding coils is a practical way to protect current transformers (CTs) for large-capacity generators from the intensive magnetic interference produced by adjacent bus-bars. The aim of this study is to build a simple analytical model for the shielding coils, from which the optimization of the shielding coils can be calculated effectively. Based on an existing stray flux model, a new a...

in this paper, shielding effectiveness (se) of a perforated enclosure with imperfectly conducting walls is evaluated. to this end, first, an accurate numerical technique based on method of moments (mom) ispresented. in this method, lossy metallic walls of the enclosure are replaced by equivalent electric surfacecurrent sources. then, the impedance boundary condition on the imperfectly conductin...

Background: Gonad shielding has been recommended during pelvic x-rays since the 1950s. The popular method of gonad shielding is placement a lead shield in the midline of the pelvis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and utility of gonad shielding in pediatrics undergoing pelvic x-rays.Materials and MethodsFollowing study approval, we retrospectively retrieved data from the di...

Background: The Shielding methods in radiotherapy due to delivering an accurate radiation dose to cancer tissues and avoiding unnecessary dose to normal tissues are very important. These methods include Lead standard blocks, individual molding and multi leaf collimator (MLC). The MLC method is not still common in Iran radiotherapy centers. Individual molding is better than the lead block shield...

The primary purpose of this report is to review the general principles of shielding during computed tomography (CT) and to summarize the latest published information on shielding efficacy. Currently, there are discordant opinions within the literature regarding the appropriateness of shielding, particularly with regard to in-plane bismuth. Understanding that the decision to implement use of a p...

In this paper, it is demonstrated how anisotropic and inhomogeneous magnetic metamaterials may be used for molding the flow of the magnetic field, considering magnetic field shielding as the main application of practical interest. It is shown that using anisotropic materials, magnetic field shielding may be improved, and this anisotropy can be realized by metamaterials. Introducing additional i...

Recently, the development of electronic and electric devices has caused an increase in the level of electromagnetic radiation; therefore, the demand for protection against this danger has increased. There are many ways how to ensure the protection of device against electromagnetic interference; however, this paper is devoted just one of the ways, the shielding. The paper is focused on calculati...
