    Abstract : Threats from man-made radionuclides include waste issues, increasing number of power plants, underground bomb testing, nuclear weapons, and “dirty bombs”. Until recently the ionizing radiation protection system focused on protecting humans with an implied protection of biota. READ MORE

  5. 3. Oxidation of stressed polymers as studied by chemiluminescence

    Author : Karin Jacobson; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Since the use of chemiluminescence (CL) is known to be avery sensitive technique for studying oxidation of polymers,its potential as a tool for studying the oxidation of stressedpolymers is thoroughly investigated in this thesis. A number ofearlier reports on stress induced chemiluminescence (SCL) showthat SCL has potential for elucidating polymer stressreactions. READ MORE

  6. 4. Development of Experimental Brachytherapy Dosimetry Using Monte Carlo Simulations for Detector Characterization

    Author : Vaiva Kaveckyte; Åsa Carlsson Tedgren; Alexandr Malusek; Hamza Benmakhlouf; Jan Seuntjens; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dosimetry; brachytherapy; solid-state detectors; Monte Carlo;

    Abstract : Brachytherapy (BT) is a type of interventional radiotherapy that is advantageous due to high absorbed dose conformity and possibility to deliver high dose in few fractions. It is often used for prostate and gynecological tumors as monotherapy or a boost alongside external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). READ MORE

  7. 5. Environmental and hydrogeological geophysics with applications in Thailand, Laos, and Sweden

    Author : Kamhaeng Wattanasen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Applied Geophysics; Tillämpad geofysik;

    Abstract : This thesis presents applications of geophysical methods in the fields of environment and hydrogeology. In relation to environmental problems, two different geophysical surveys have been carried out; one to study an arsenic contaminated area in the southern Thailand (paper I) and a second to locate shallow faults in Quaternary sediments in an area around the Ongkharak Nuclear Research Centre, central Thailand (paper II).
