Radiation dosimetry has the purpose of quantifying dose received by occupationally exposed individual. The device used in this process is called a dosimeter, dosimeter can be different situations, for example, to quantify fingers ring model extremity, which focus work. In Brazil, we still do not have standards calibration extremity dosimeters, therefore, work, CASEC recommendations were used, a...

Overhead transmission lines are influenced by different factors which are mostly electrical and mechanical. These factors can cause problems for lines, distortions in network and outage of line. In designing transmission lines mechanical properties are evaluated after selecting a suitable conductor and clearance with regard to electrical properties. In lines designing, an important mechanical p...

Close to the Mott transition, lattice degrees of freedom react to the softening of electron degrees of freedom. This results in a change of lattice spacing, a diverging compressibility, and a critical anomaly of the sound velocity. These effects are investigated within a simple model, in the framework of dynamical mean-field theory. The results compare favorably to recent experiments on the lay...

Whenmethacholine is inhaledwith total lung capacity inhalations, which is the recommended inhalation pattern for the 5-breath dosimeter method,1 as many as a quarter of asthmatic patients can have a false-negative test result.2 It has been suggested to us that high forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) could explain negative (dosimeter) methacholine test results in patients with asthma. W...

background: humans beings are continuously exposed to ionizing radiation from natural sources. the main contributors to natural radiation are high-energy cosmic radiation and radioactive nuclides that originates in the earth’s crust. exposure to high levels of radiation can cause serious health effects. in this study an attempt has been made to monitor the levels of environmental background rad...

Energy balance method is an effective and simple method which is used in the amplitude calculation of Aeolian vibration in transmission lines with Stockbridge damper. However, the accuracy of the results obtained by this method, heavily depends on the assumed mode shapes of the conductor vibration. In this study, by considering an appropriate model for the conductor vibration, a comprehensive m...

We define a numerical invariant, the differential Swan conductor, for certain differential modules on a rigid analytic annulus over a p-adic field. This gives a definition of a conductor for p-adic Galois representations with finite local monodromy over an equal characteristic discretely valued field, which agrees with the usual Swan conductor when the residue field is perfect.

Micelle gel is a radiochromic hydrogel with the potential to be used as a three dimensional (3D) radiation dosimeter. Since an ideal dosimeter should present water equivalent properties, in this study the water equivalence of two formulations of micelle gel has been investigated by calculating electron density, effective atomic number, fractional interaction probabilities, mass attenuation coef...

We study the problem of finding the Artin L-functions with the smallest conductor for a given Galois type. We adapt standard analytic techniques to our novel situation of fixed Galois type and obtain much improved lower bounds on the smallest conductor. For small Galois types we use complete tables of number fields to determine the actual smallest conductor.
