soil samples were collected from seven sites in and around the metropolitan area of mexicocity. the locations were chosen as possible sources of fugitive dusts which contribute to suspended particulate matter in the atmosphere of mexico city. x-ray fluorescence (xrf) was used to determine the concentrations of several major elements (si, k, ca, ti, mn, and fe), as well as of other trace element...

Background: People occasionally undergo medical diagnostic X-ray examinations and expose their red blood cells to radiation. Radiation that is generated from medical diagnostic X-ray machines is widely used in medical diagnoses. One of the important parameters is kilo-voltage (kV) that is applied across the X-ray tube in medical diagnostic X-ray machines. Kilo-voltage influences the radiation d...

clay minerals are considered the most important components of clastic reservoir rock evaluation studies. the shurijeh gas reservoir formation, represented by shaly sandstones of the late jurassic-early cretaceous age, is the main reservoir rock in the eastern kopet-dagh sedimentary basin, ne iran. in this study, x-ray diffraction (xrd), x-ray fluorescence (xrf), scanning electron microscopic (s...

europium (eu) doped zno microsphere based nano-sheets were synthesized through hydrothermal method. effects of different concentrations of europium on structural and optical properties of zno nano-sheets were investigated in detail. prepared un-doped and eu-doped zno samples were characterized using x-ray diffraction (xrd), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (edx), scanning electron microscop...
