Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRadiation Hazards Due to Radon Concentrations in Dwellings of Kufa Technical Institute, 'Iraq'Ali Abid Abojassim Al-Hamidawi, Afnan Ali HusainRadon concentrations were measured in Kufa dwellings of the technical institute, Al-Najaf- Iraq using LR-115 type II plastic track detectors. Additionally, annual effective dose and the excess lifetime cancer risk for the aforementioned dwellings were calculated. The results demonstrate that the radon concentration ranged from 37.4±6.4 Bq/m3 to 55.7±12.0 Bq/m3 with an average of 46.2±8.2 Bq/m3. The latter is found … …Physics International, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 15 Apr 2016 · 8,143 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImprovement of Nuclear Track Density Measurements Using Image Processing TechniquesA. Mostofizadeh, X. Sun, M. R. KardanThe well known edge detection methods were applied to evaluate accuracy and precision of nuclear track densitometry of polycarbonate detector. All measurements carried out in two cases of before and after improvement of track images. Considering the overlapping phenomenon -including double and triple tracks- experimental and statistical results showed that not only each particular edge detection method affects the accuracy … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,427 accessesView PDF Cite
