Due to the wide applications of inkjet printers in industry and our daily life, characterization of liquid droplets from inkjet printers, particularly the behaviors of the impact and diffusion of the droplets on the surface of and inside porous medium is of great interest. One conventional characterization method uses high-speed...
Detection of illicit drug residues from wastewater provides a new route toward community level assessment of drug abuse that is critical to public health. However, traditional chemistry analytical tools such as liquid chromatography in tandem with mass spectrometry cannot meet the large-scale testing requirement in terms of cost, throughput, and...
A design for an x-ray diffraction teaching device has been
presented. From the design a diffraction device has been constructed.
Based on the principles of the original work by Max von Laue,
a diffraction camera has been constructed using a diagnostic x-ray
machine. The diffraction camera provides a fast, safe,...
The core-electron ionization potentials for mono- and
di(trifluoromethyl)benzene, for chlorofluoromethanes and for
chlorine have been measured in order to give information on
the electron distribution in these molecules and to investigate
differences between the inductive effect of fluorine
and that of CF3. For trifluoromethylbenzene the measured
ionization potentials in eV...
There has been a large increase in the number of three-phase
diagnostic x-ray systems installed in hospital special-procedure rooms
during the last decade. The reason for this is the capability of three-phase
systems of making possible the very short exposure times and
increased tube loading required for some of the...
The X-ray dose absorbed in soft tissue located near plane
bone interfaces and in parallel-slab bone cavities was measured
experimentally with a polyethylene-film dosimeter.
The dose absorbed in soft tissue adjacent to plane bone interfaces
was measured by placing a 12.7 micron film of polyethylene,
upon which were deposited graphite...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the distribution
and magnitude of scattered radiation from a typical
mobile radiographic examination as an aid in evaluating
the potential health hazards of the scattered radiation.
Also discussed are current radiation protection standards and
recommendations for mobile radiography.
A Manonite phantom represented...
