The dependence of the shape of the glow curve of LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-100) on ionisation density was investigated using irradiation with (90)Sr/(90)Y beta rays, 60 and 250 kVp X rays, various heavy-charged particles and 0.2 and 14 MeV neutrons. Special attention is focused on the properties of high-temperature thermoluminescence; specifically, the behaviour of the high-temperature ratio (HTR) of Peak...

TLD is a tank filled with water and serves as a dynamic vibration absorber for passive control of structures. This paper addresses the comparisons of TLD performances corresponding to different tank geometries including rectangular and conical shapes. Due to the importance of water and tank weight as a load on top of a building, volume is considered to be a constant parameter in this study. Fir...

In the present paper, we report the indigenous development of a neutron-sensitive thermoluminescent dosemeter (TLD) based on CaSO4:Dy Teflon TL disc. The study includes indigenous development of a neutron dosemeter and its response in terms of operational quantity to different energies of neutrons under various irradiation conditions. It was found that the thermal neutron sensitivity of the CaS...

When grown in thymine-free minimal synthetic medium, thyA recA mutants of Escherichia coli K12 were comparatively more resistant and thyA recBC mutants more sensitive to thymineless death (TLD) than their respective parent strains. No excessive numbers of single-strand breaks were observed in the DNA of the recBC mutant strain starved for thymine, hence the hypersensitivity for TLD in this stra...

This article explores the rationales for creating specific top level domain (TLD) names to support minority languages and cultures, focussing specifically on the case for a TLD .cy or .cym for Wales. Some background information on domain names and Wales and the Welsh language is provided. Following on from this, the way identity may be constructed is explored and the importance of TLD’s in term...

thermoluminescent detector/LiF:Mg,Ti/glow curve deconvolution/annealing/NIRS-HIMAC The stability of glow peaks in LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-600) exposed to a high-energy Fe-ion beam was examined in comparison to Cs γ -ray irradiation under changing annealing conditions. The peak areas induced by the Fe ions were much smaller than those by γ -rays. The sizes and positions of peaks 3–5 in Fe-ion irradiated ...

In the field of thermoluminescence dosimetry the daily analysis of multi-peak glow curves includes computerized curve-fitting methods, the so-called deconvolutions. These are in need of restricting the kinetic parameters E and s in order to obtain physically relevant results. There have been suggested various methods for the determination of these kinetic parameters based on a theory treating s...

Background: the narrative abilities provide valuable information about the linguistic, cognitive and social development of school-age children with typical language development (TLD). Aim: to examine the temporal ordering of figures and the narrative abilities of school-age children with TLD in relation to the type of discourse presented. Method: participants of this study included 60 children ...

The stability of glow peaks in 6LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-600) exposed to a high-energy Fe-ion beam was examined in comparison to 137Cs gamma-ray irradiation under changing annealing conditions. The peak areas induced by the Fe ions were much smaller than those by gamma-rays. The sizes and positions of peaks 3-5 in Fe-ion irradiated samples were hardly changed after post-annealing at 100 degrees C x 30 mi...
