  2. 1. On-line Mobile in situ Gamma Spectrometry

    Author : Thomas Hjerpe; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; radiobiologi; Kärnfysik; Nuclear physics; radiation protection.; 137Cs; peak-to-valley method; depth distribution; orphan source search; orphan sources; emergency preparedness; mobile gamma spectrometry; nuclear accidents; Nuclear medicine; radiobiology; Nukleärmedicin;

    Abstract : Mobile in situ gamma spectrometry is an important instrument in the emergency preparedness for nuclear accidents. This work contributes through the development of strategies and analysis methods for two applications: an on-line search for gamma-emitting orphan sources and on-line estimation of the depth distribution of 137Cs.

  4. 2. Segmented HPGe detectors for post-irradiation examination of nuclear fuel : Design and demonstration in gamma emission tomography

    Author : Vikram Rathore; Peter Andersson; Erik Andersson Sundén; Ane Håkansson; Andrew Boston; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Segmented HPGe detector; Nuclear fuel; Post-irradiation examination; Nuclear fuel diagnostics; Gamma emission tomography; Gamma spectroscopy; Non-destructive fuel testing; Applied Nuclear Physics; Tillämpad kärnfysik;

    Abstract : Gamma emission tomography (GET) is a proven non-invasive technique for post-irradiation examination of nuclear fuel. In the past, collimated HPGe detectors were used for GET measurements due to their good energy resolution. READ MORE

  5. 3. Tilted Foils Nuclear Spin Polarization and Measurement with Coulomb Excitation

    Author : Hans Törnqvist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tilted; Foils; Polarization; Excitation; Coulomb; Nuclear; Spin;

    Abstract : Developing new experimental tools is essential to expand the possibilites of probing the structure of atomic nuclei. The better the currently known properties of nuclei can be manipulated, the more information can be extracted from data collected in nuclear reaction experiments. READ MORE

  6. 4. Model-Based Hypothesis Testing in Biomedicine : How Systems Biology Can Drive the Growth of Scientific Knowledge

    Author : Rikard Johansson; Gunnar Cedersund; Tomas Strömberg; Peter Strålfors; Marija Cvijovic; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; systems biology; modeling; ODE; hypothesis testing; falsificationism; insulin signaling; yeast; population heterogeneity; cell-to-cell variation; facilitation; pyramidal; synaptic; bootstrapping; personalized medicine; omics;

    Abstract : The utilization of mathematical tools within biology and medicine has traditionally been less widespread compared to other hard sciences, such as physics and chemistry. However, an increased need for tools such as data processing, bioinformatics, statistics, and mathematical modeling, have emerged due to advancements during the last decades. READ MORE

  7. 5. On-Line Monitoring Applications in Nuclear Power Plants

    Author : Hashem Mehrdad Hashemian; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; calibration monitoring; noise analysis; instrumentation and control; sensing line blockages; Nuclear power plants; sensor response time testing; reactor diagnostics; next generation reactors; applied research;

    Abstract : As the current generation of nuclear power plants have passed their mid-life, increased monitoring of their health is critical to their safe operation. This is especially true now that license renewal of nuclear power plants has accelerated, allowing some plants to operate up to 60 years or more. READ MORE
