in this research, we studied the structure, properties and nmr parameters of interaction f2 gas with pristine and 3c-doped (8, 0) zigzag models of boron phosphide nanotubes (bpnts). in order to reach these aims, we considered four different configurations for adsorption of f2gas on the outer and inner surfaces of bpnts. the structures of all models were optimized by using density functional the...

In the discussion that follows, we assume that gamma rays are the radiation of interest. The principles discussed also apply to monoenergetic x rays; in many cases of concern in x-ray shielding, however, the photons are produced in the bremsstrahlung process that yields a wide and continuous distribution of photon energies. Specialized shielding approaches have been developed to carry out shiel...

In the treatment of superficial lesions with 8-13 MeV electrons, lead shields are often used to protect the underlying tissue. Measurements were made with film and ion chamber to analyse various aspects of external and internal shielding in electron beam therapy. Data were obtained on the thickness of lead required for shielding, the effect of blocking on dose-rate, electron-backscattering from...

2014 Superconducting shields offer the possibility of obtaining truly zero magnetic fields due to the phenomenon of flux quantization. They also offer excellent shielding from external time varying fields. Various techniques of superconducting shielding will be surveyed and recent results discussed.

We have evaluated the NMR shielding tensors for A:T,G:C,A:U in Watson-crick, and U-quartet. We have computed NMR shielding tensors at B31YP level by using 6-31G(d) basis set. We have compute anisotropy and asymmetry in A:T,G:C,A:U and U-quartet. The NMR shielding tensors were calculated using the GIAO method. The natural bonding orbital analysis (NBO) were performed. NBO calculation have been ...

Numerical simulation of shielding effectiveness (SE) of a perforated shielding enclosure is carried out, using the finite element method (FEM). Possibilities of model definitions and differences between 2D and 3D models are discussed. An important part of any simulation is verification of the model results—here the simulation result are verified in terms of convergence of the model in dependenc...

Applications of liquid crystals (LCs), such as smart windows and the ubiquitous display devices, are based on controlling the orientational and translational order in a small volume of LC medium. Hence, understanding the effects of confinement to the liquid crystal phase behaviour is essential. The NMR shielding of (129)Xe atoms dissolved in LCs constitutes a very sensitive probe to the details...

A new thermoplastic material with extremely desirable physical and radiation shielding properties is presented. The material softens between 108 degrees F and 132 degrees F and can then be easily molded to any desired shape. As it cools down it hardens at about 102 degrees F, retaining its molded shape. It is very light (rho = 1.66 g/cc), compared to most other compensating and shielding materi...

Neoclassical shielding is the dominant mechanism reducing the collisionless zonal flow in a tokamak. Previously, this phenomenon was analyzed in the case of an essentially homogeneous equilibrium since the wavelength of the zonal flow perturbation was assumed to be much less than the scale length of background plasma parameters. This assumption is not appropriate in a tokamak pedestal. Therefor...

BACKGROUND Gonad shielding has been extensively advocated during pelvic radiography at or below reproductive ages. The popular practice of gonad shielding is placement of a lead shield in the midline of the pelvis. The aim of this study was to address the prevalence of gonad shielding and find out whether the current practice of gonad shielding can be considered as an effective method to reduce...
