Detailed photoionization and radiative acceleration of self-similar magnetocentrifugal accretion disk winds are explored. First, a general-purpose hybrid magnetocentrifugal and radiatively-driven wind model is defined. Solutions are then examined to determine how radiative acceleration modifies magnetocentrifugal winds and how those winds can influence radiative driving in Active Galactic Nucle...

Using 40 ns laser pulses, we probe the real-time dynamics of ultracold ionizing collisions in metastable xenon. We time resolve both shielding and enhancement effects, and observe the production of Xe2 molecular ions through associative ionization. We estimate the rate of molecule formation in excited-state collisions, and directly measure the role of both flux enhancement and excited state sur...

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...

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...

We synthesized disk-shaped and nano-sized graphene (DSNG) though a novel ion-exchange methodology. This new methodology is achieved by constructing metal ion/ion-exchange resin framework. The morphology and size of the graphene can be modulated by changing the mass ratio of the carbon-containing resin to the cobalt-containing precursor. This is the first time to show that the DSNG formed on the...

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...
