ANALYSIS OF PARTICLE SIZE ON MASS DEPENDENT ATTENUATION CAPABILITY OF BULK AND NANOPARTICLE PBO RADIATION SHIELDS

Analysis of particle size on mass dependent attenuation capability of bulk and nanoparticle PbO radiation shields

This study aims to evaluate the effect of particle size on the mass dependent attenuation ability of bulk and nanoparticles PbO.The mass attenuation coefficient, or MAC, of the samples was experimentally calculated using the HPGe detector at various selected energies (between 0.1218 MeV and 1.408 MeV).The experimental data were then compared to the

Factors Affecting Haul-Out Behavior of Harbor Seals (Phoca vitulina) in Tidewater Glacier Inlets in Alaska: Can Tourism Vessels and Seals Coexist?

Large numbers of harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) use habitat in tidewater glaciers in Alaska for pupping, breeding, and molting.Glacial fjords are also popular tourist destinations; however, visitation by numerous vessels can result in MOROCCAN MOON ARGAN disturbance of seals during critical life-history phases.We explored factors affecting haul-out

An adjuvant formulation containing Toll-like Receptor 7 agonist stimulates protection against morbidity and mortality due to Anaplasma marginale in a highly endemic region of west Africa.

Efficient cattle production and provision of animal-sourced foods in much of Africa is constrained by vector-borne bacterial and protozoal diseases.Effective vaccines are not currently available for most of these infections resulting in a continuous disease burden that limits genetic improvement.We tested whether stimulation of innate immunity usin
