The use of active personal dosemeters in interventional workplaces in hospitals: comparison between active and passive dosemeters worn simultaneously by medical staff
(Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2020)
Medical staff in interventional procedures are among the professionals with the highest occupational doses. Active personal dosemeters (APDs) can help in optimizing the exposure during interventional procedures. However, ...
Skin dose mapping in interventional cardiology: a practical solution
(Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2020)
Numerous cases of radiation-induced tissue reactions following interventional cardiology (IC) procedures have been reported, resulting in the need for an optimized and personalized dosimetry. At present, there are many ...
Bifurcation analysis: a tool for determining model parameters of the considered process
(Reaction Kinetics, Mechanisms and Catalysis, 2018)
In this paper, we intend to show the importance of the bifurcation analysis in understanding of an oscillatory process. Hence, we use the bifurcation diagram of the Bray-Liebhafsky reaction performed in continuous well-stirred ...
Evaluation of radiation dose for patients undergoing mammography in Qatar
(Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2020)
In the absence of information on radiation doses in mammography in the Gulf countries, this study was designed to assess patient dose in terms of entrance surface air kerma and average glandular dose (AGD) in three mammography ...
The effect of process parameters on kinetics and mechanisms of Co2+ removal by bone char
(Journal of Environmental Science and Health. Part A: Toxic Hazardous Substances and Environmental Engineering, 2011)
Bone char powder, composed mainly of poorly crystalline hydroxyapatite (Ca-10(PO4)(6)(OH)(2)), carbon and CaCO3, has potential applicability in the removal of Co2+ ions from contaminated effluents. In the present study, ...
Chemical, physical and radiological evaluation of raw materials and geopolymers for building applications
(Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, 2020)
The main goal of this study was the evaluation of physical–chemical, as well as radiological properties of residual materials used for geopolymer synthesis and those final products as a possible application as new materials ...
Investigation of xenon-filled tube breakdown voltage and delay response as possible dosimetric parameters for small gamma ray air kerma rates
(Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2020)
This paper presents experimental results of dynamic breakdown voltage and delay response as functions of gamma ray air kerma rate for xenon-filled tube at 2.7 mbar pressure. Gamma ray air kerma rate range was considered ...
The role of external and internal mass transfer in the process of Cu2+removal by natural mineral sorbents
(Environmental Technology, 2011)
The kinetics of Cu2+ sorption on to zeolite, clay and diatomite was investigated as a function of initial metal concentrations. For consideration of the mass transfer phenomena, single resistance models based on both film ...
Analysis of Factors Influencing Cu(II) Sorption By Clinoptiolite
(Hemijska industrija, 2013)
Experimental design methodology represents a powerful tool for the analysis and optimization of various processes. Immobilization of toxic substances by sorption onto low-cost materials has gained a lot of attention in the ...
Establishing a priori and a posteriori predictive models to assess patients’ peak skin dose in interventional cardiology. Part 2: results of the VERIDIC project
(Acta Radiologica, 2021)
Optimizing patient exposure in interventional cardiology is key to avoid skin injuries.PurposeTo establish predictive models of peak skin dose (PSD) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), chronic total occlusion ...
